Jill goes into protective custody, but after trying to kill Hoffman, he sets his sights on getting her. Jigsaw puts survivor and now successful author Bobby Dagen into the game.
I know before I even start that this one is regarded as the weakest in the franchise by many, check out most of the online rankings list, and most are harsh on this one.
I'm glad they toned down the soft focus flashbacks, 4 and 5 are full of them, they're too much, there are a few, but they're tolerable.
For me, this one is still better than Saw 4, and possibly Saw 5. It's trashy, it's tacky, the story doesn't make sense, and some of the games are silly, but there are some pretty cool sequences.
I've always liked the scene with the racist guy and his band of followers, that car seat scene is gross. Some of Bobby's games are pretty cool too.
I loathed that opening game, it seemed so unlikely that Kramer would have put a game on for the public, everything had always been done in closed, shut off spaces, it felt at odds with his character, as did the hugely vindictive vendetta against Dagen, I know he lied, but compared to what some of Jigsaw's targets did, it seemed excessive.
It is great to see a few faces from the show's past, and it was nice to see them play a part in the shocking twist. I also liked the twist from the original Saw movie.
6/10.
