Starring Tobin Bell and no one else worth mentioning other than Eddie Winslow from Family Matters in a terrible and useless roll.
There is one thing saving this movie from receiving my second ever zero star rating, and that's the message in this one. Jigsaw has a hard on for what he believes is right and wrong in all of these movies and this time around the rather timely subject is the American health care's massively flawed protocol. That aside, we have nothing new here in the slightest. The opening tries to out-gore the previous 5 flicks and to a degree it succeeds.
Gross for the sake of being gross and sloppy along the way, this entry seems painfully redundant and completely dumbed down. The effects are sub par and the set designs are identical to the previous entries. If you are into these gore-no type movies just for the different kill scenes, then you should still skip this one. The brilliance of the first Saw is long gone and the suspense of the sequel in non existent. I don't think I witnessed anything new at all. People were cut, crushed, and shot. Sound familiar? There is actually a scene with a woman who has a severed arm and the f/x are so lame compared to the same technology that was done to perfection more than a decade ago in Forrest Gump, it made me squirm with disappointment.
Sadly the film ends (no surprise) with a wide open door ready for the seventh entry to limp into in approximately 11 months.
Groan.
Even the previews were lame at this movie. The new Nightmare On Elm St preview looks god awful and the new Freddy seems to have a speech impediment. Once again an unoriginal movie is set to clog up theaters in the upcoming months. I hope I'm wrong on that one.
In the mean time, do yourself a favour and if you absolutely must see this movie because you've seen the previous 5, then see it on a cheap day or rent it.
Rating 1 sloppy kill out of 5
