Flawed but enjoyable!
It's been a little more than 10 years since the death of John Kramer aka The Jigsaw Killer! A new killer emerges from the shadows, with a very different agenda and is hellbent on continuing Jigsaw's legacy. Detective Zeke Banks is assigned to the case and finds himself thrust into a vast conspiracy involving the dark deeds of the corrupt system he once swore to protect!
In reality the killer is very uninspired, the traps are not as elegantly designed and there is very little of the SAW DNA present in the film. The main reasons to watch SPIRAL are Chris Rock and Sam Jackson!

The best Saw sequel
Let's face it, they never should have attempted to make a Saw sequel. The original film was so original and interesting with such an unforeseen twist, that it shouldve been left alone. But sadly the Saw films have now turned into yet another franchise that will never die.
That said, this first sequel isn't half bad and is by far the best out of all of them. The story is fairly interesting and the end twists do come as a surprise. The problem lies with Jigsaw's motives being a little patchy with Eric Matthews, and the main issue is it will never match the originality of the first film. It also changes how you feel about Jigsaw himself. In the first film until the end, he is just a mysterious voice and figure with a creepy doll and that's a good thing. With this sequel (and all of the others), they're trying to add depth to his character and they just end up overcomplicating things. Especially with all of this "helpers" Less is definitely more in this case.

They just get worse
I’ve always hated what they did to the Saw films. The first one was fantastic, the second one quite good and then the rest have gone downhill at an alarming rate.
This ‘final chapter’, which actually isn’t as they’ve started making Jigsaw films now, is the worst of the bunch. Not only are the traps actually quite dull and boring (they obviously outdid themselves with the traps in the first film), the special effects and gore look really bad too. Did nobody notice that the blood didn’t look even slightly real? In some scenes it was verging on fuschia. The plot itself is just convoluted as always and they’ve been trying to tie up loose ends with little success. They should’ve just left the original as a stand alone film instead of messing it up with all of Jigsaw’s accomplices in these 6 sequels. And the final twist reveal at the end? Come on, I predicted that from the second film onwards, and I’m sure many other people did too. Such a lame ending.

The game That Never Ends
Saw IV- continues right off from the 3rd movie, im really liking these movies, their is something about them that i really like. I think its because of the twist and turns throught the story, John's charcter and motivation, the mystery, the suspense and the thrills. This one you really get to know John's back-story through flashbacks. This franchise has alot of flashbacks which is good, because then you truely understand the story at hand. This franchises endings are soo good, and leave you wanted more.
The Plot: During the autopsy of serial killer Jigsaw (Tobin Bell), a cassette tape is discovered in his stomach in which he warns that his gory games will continue. Sure enough, SWAT Lt. Daniel Rigg (Lyriq Bent) is forced to follow a blood-drenched trail of torture, dismemberment and death in order to find two missing colleagues. A pair of FBI profilers follow Riggs, suspecting he might be Jigsaw's accomplice, even as they unlock the puzzle of the killer's origins, seen in gruesome flashbacks.
Such a good franchise.
