Review of Saw II

Those who don't appreciate life do not deserve life.

That was unexpected. The ending and big reveal of the second Saw film had me on the floor, eyes bulging, and me thinking: "I didn't see THAT coming." Of course, for those who haven't seen the film, I won't spill anything here. :pp In the second installment of the Saw sixology, John Kramer, aka Jigsaw, continues his pilgrimage of teaching immoral people a lesson in life which they will never forget.. provided that they come out alive. This time, there are 8 people locked inside a house which, according to Billy, Jigsaw's doll, has been emitting a deadly gas that could turn their internal organs into mulch if they don't find the antidote in time. Among the prisoners is the son of detective matthews, who has been in and out of jail because of petty crimes, and amanda young, which, as seen in the first film, was the only person to survive Jigsaw's trap. I wasn't as impressed by this movie as i was by the first one, but the twist ending shocked me. I loved the way the events unfolded at the same time; furthermore, jigsaw's penchant for placing crucial minute details made the movie even better than it should. i can imagine what survivor would be like if john kramer were in charge of the challenges. :DD here's to the saw series *cheers*
