POSITIVES…
Fans of the Saw franchise should check this out. With that said, those who never followed the franchise can easily jump in on this installment.
Liked the mysterious killer police procedural narrative.
Most will be here for the deadly traps that is synonymous with this series of films, and they do mostly deliver.
Needless to say, fans of bloody gore and violence will find things to like.
Then there are those who will be watching because of Chris Rock, and he too delivers with what you expect from him.
Gotta admit that I enjoyed the stand-up comic bits of jokes he actually got to do in this.
Chris Rock did get to drop some entertaining pop culture references here and there too.
Good supporting cast, that includes Marisol Nichols, Max Minghella, Richard Zeppieri, Samuel L Jackson, and more.
There are several scenes that should grab your attention, and one that I had fun watching involved being able to see a bone sticking out of a broken leg.
Thematically tackles some very prescient and important subject matters.
NEGATIVES…
Those quick camera zooms, pans, and cuts, were just annoying.
Somehow I thought there would be more traps. There aren’t as many traps as I expected there to be.
A couple of huge plot holes that killed some of that required suspension of disbelief.
Mystery of the villain a little too telegraphed and predictable? I know I guessed correctly!
Movie seemed afraid to actually deal with the overall themes of the story.
That moment you the end credits start. Seriously? That’s how they’re going to conclude the movie?!
