Review of Saw II (2005) by Voncarlsson — 22 Nov 2010
This film is not in any way thinking outside of the box. It's just very cliché.
Now that doesn't have to be the killing blow to a film, there are plentiful of good films that are pretty cliché.
However, this film is not only cliché, but have a storyline which a 14 year-old could come up with. I feel genuinely embarrassing that a grown up person comes up with something this shallow, and dare call it good film. It simply isn't a good film from a storyline perspective.
As regard to character development, there is nearly none. It really goes to show what the real purpose is.
The real purpose is as simple as a outlet for sadistic and primitive urges. Not that there's something wrong with that. But trying to market it as anything else than what it is, is just wrong.
If you like blood, unrealistic scenes(in a film that tries to be realistic) and no story to speak about whatsoever, then this is a film for you.
