6/10 - Entertaining, hardcore "Saw" fans should be pleased. Now, upon the news of Detective Kerry's murder, two seasoned FBI profilers, Agent Strahm and Agent Perez, arrive in the terrified community to assist the veteran Detective Hoffman in sifting through Jigsaw's latest grisly remains and piecing together the puzzle. However, I thought that it did lack in suspense towards the very end and was a little too far-fetched in some scenes. Jigsaw and his apprentice Amanda are dead. Overall I thought Saw IV was a decent film, it was entertaining and had a pretty solid script which keeps the audience interested, and the usual bloody "Saw" special effects. Much like the first "Saw" film, you will be pondering over the final twist for hours. If you go to watch Saw IV expecting an average, overly violent, torture porn horror film, I guarantee you will hate this movie. It doesn't have a lot of random and somewhat pointless violence like Saw III, it makes you think and had a good twist which Saw III also lacked. Saw IV is nothing like it's prequel, Saw III. Of course Saw IV also includes some creative, painful and very gory traps which lead to a few slow and painful deaths, which will make even the strongest moviegoers cringe. Throughout the film we learn a little more about Jigsaw's history, and why he did what he did. The film opens up with an autopsy of Jigsaw/John, where an audio cassette is discovered in his stomach, and that sets out the whole plot for the movie.
I am not a huge fan of the "Saw" movies, but I was very impressed with Saw IV considering it lacked the presence of Jigsaw. When I first sat down to watch "Saw IV", I was not expecting much as it seemed it would be very difficult to make a good sequel with Jigsaw dead.
