Review of Saw VI (2009) by Anthony T — 16 Nov 2010

Coming to the end of this beautiful franchise of games and puppets and this is one hell of a (hopefully) penultimate film for Saw.

This really makes me thankful for watching II, IV and V because this really just lifted Saw out of the dirt and put it back on it's high horse with more fantasitc Jigsaw philosophies and finally some traps which are equal or even better than Saw and Saw III (thank god!).

This Saw is based on how John Kramer got rejected from the insurance company because his cancer was very likely to take his life, even though he presented the company with a treatment that had a 40% chance of working. But when he was rejected he put the leader of the company William to the test against his own employee's. Let the games begin...

The traps: The main traps were within William's trials and they were spectular they ranged from The Breathing Cracker to The Carousel, and finally The Acid rack, all superior to the other most of the other Saw traps because these ones followed the rules and kept me thinking until the very last trap.

We even see a revival of the classic Reverse Beartrap.

All in all Saw VI is a huge boost from the past few sequels, and keeps Jigsaw's brilliant schemes and traps.

4/5.
