This one goes in a different direct, but one that kinda sets the pace for this along with parts 4 and 5, I mean IV and V. Fucking Romans and their special lettered numerals.
This movie is about 2 things. One guy’s search for forgiveness and retribution over a car accident that killed his son. The other is about Amanda’s rise to power in her quest to help John.
To tackle Amanda first, she is helping Jigsaw carry on his work, but she is also being selfish and often not giving people a chance to survive the traps. Jigsaw is not pleased. As you can imagine, this is all a test. Amanda has also captured this lady surgeon, who also happens to be the main guy’s wife in this one. Her name is Lynn. She has this collar around her with explosives. If Jigsaw dies, the collar explodes. Amanda needs her to operate on John’s skull to help relieve some of the pressure. It’s pretty gruesome shit.
The main guy is named Jeff. His journey is he meets people in traps that were involved in the car accident that killed his son and he has not forgiven. Pound for pound, this one has the best traps/kills. You have a lady in a freezer who gets water spurted on her repeatedly. There’s a dude who is gonna drown in decimated pig head juice. Then the baddest one I think in SAW franchise, the twisting torture rack where each of the black dude’s limbs twist and break and finally his neck. It is long and excruciating. So hard to watch. Dina Meyer gets an unfair death where there is a beaker full of acid and a key, but it wasn’t gonna save her. There was a dude who had to rip these metal loops out of his skin, but one was attached to his lower mandible. He wasn’t gonna be able to rip it out. Long story short, the ones Amanda set up were impossible to escape.
At the end, John gave Amanda a chance at redemption, she shoots Lynn. Jeff comes in, shoots Amanda, she failed. Jeff has an opportunity to save his wife and daughter, instead he chooses retribution over forgiveness. This dooms him. Everybody dies except Jeff.
All in all, this is like a 7.5, another stellar outing. Mainly due to the kills and the story. This is the last time the story really is great. Not saying the story gets bad, but it does go downhill, which by part 4, that’s pretty impressive.
