Watched Saw II with stanman today. You can watch the trailer here. I thought the 1st one was better compared to this one and stanman concurs. The first one had methological planning and things took some time to figure out. This movie went zooming through most of the ‘works’ and didn’t really give time for the audience and the actors to figure stuff out. Also the original hint was too easy to guess.
Spoilers:
So the story begins with a detective and a son, who aren’t really in good terms. The son just got arrested for stealing and his dad came to bail his butt out. So the story continues, this time instead of having just 1 or 2 people, the jigsaw collects I believe 6-8 people and put them into a house (not a room this time). They’ve been poisoned with nerve gas and will die within 2 hours. The son was one of them that was caught. Among the people who were caught, one of them was the girl that actually survived one of jigsaw’s previous games. The cop busts jigsaw’s hideout and finds out that his son has been caught. Jigsaw demands to play a game and all he has to listen and his son will be okay. However as the 2hr limit approaches, you can realize what usually happens with cops in that situation. However, going back to the house and the ones inside (major spoilers coming up) , it turns out that the others beside the boy, were people who were set up by his father and sent to jail. Some deserved it, while others didn’t, but all of them hate the father. Does the kid survive? What happens to the dad? Why was the girl caught a 2nd time? Guess you’ll just have to watch it to find out.
