I Saw VI (Does the same joke work 2 years in a row?)


Yes, I actually made it out to see Saw VI this weekend and I have to ask one big question to the makers of this movie. Why are you putting political commentary into your films. The main plot line revolves around a evil health insurance company (I'm not joking). I came to see blood and guts not Sicko 2, but I'm not saying there isn't a lot of blood and guts in this movie. Now that I got that out of the way I want to propose...
My Easy Plan To Stop Jigsaw From Killing People (and to Stop the Saw Franchise From Making Another Movie)
  1. Make sure there are no abandoned warehouses or zoos in your area (this new one takes place in a zoo type place).
  2. Make sure no one has a job that somehow makes someone's life suck. This includes people who rip people off, I assure you there is to be absolutely no ripping people off. In fact ripping people off is so bad I'm going to make
  3. Don't rip people off or deny them coverage for your health insurance.
  4. Don't kill people or cause some one to die from inaction, Jigsaw doesn't like killers (that hypocrite).
  5. Value your life.
That's it, it's that simple... yet impossible to pull off. This film is slightly above average when it comes to the Saw franchise, of course it doesn't come close to the first Saw, a movie I think is amazing. This movie pretty much feels like, lets see how far we can stretch this one character that died three movies ago. What is surprising about this whole ordeal is that this film is actually affective at an emotional level. I actually felt for the main character, and some of the hard choices he had to make really had me questioning what I would have done in that situation (and this is a Saw movie!!!) I really feel this installment series is really what the previous installments, Saw IV and V were trying to go for. Unfortunately I can't give this movie a perfect score because it employs the use of flashbacks in such a juvenile why it pulled me out of the movie, the people who make these movie need to learn to express their story in the dialog and not revert back to the previous films to tell their story for them. While it isn't as good as paranormal activity, Saw VI is still Halloween fun.
