Review of Saw VI

Saw VI (2009)
3/10
After walking out of the theater, i said to myself, 'I'm never going to another saw movie again'.
24 October 2009
This movie is just flat out stupid. The script is laughable, the acting f**king sucks, it relies on flashbacks, the plot is so disjointed that it leaves the viewer like 'eh...whatver.'. Saw 6 is pretty much a joke and the entire theater cracked up at its sheer utter failure. Saw 6 has the same feeling as a movie you'd find on the sci-fi channel at midnight, everything about it sucks. It's boring and isn't really scary or gory.

It does start out, completely awesome though. I have to give it points for that, the first 10 minutes are so absurd its beautiful. I'll just tell you what happens because i seriously don't encourage paying for a ticket. Basically it starts out with the tiresome 'opening' saw trap, we have two people, they have to cut pieces from their bodies and put them onto this scale, the most weight sacrificed survives. It's this fat guy and normal sized girl, the fat guy stabs open his stomach and just starts ripping out his intenstes out and while screaming, the girl struggles to do anything but eventually cut's her arm off with a clever and puts it on the scale. She wins with a arm over a fat guy's innards(he pulls out quite a lot), how realistic. Then immediately after that we have a flashback from another movie of someone getting mutilated, then it shows the doorknob abortion from saw 4(they actually show this clip in flashback form around 4 times.). So at a first glance this movie is completely violent and random and could be a good laugh riot, unfortunately the realization sets in, this movie is so stupid that it fails to be entertaining. We follow Hoffman, who is played by Costas Mandylor, as he goes through life as a two face, detective/jigsaw-guy. This guy is pretty much a completely unlikable character, and mandylor gives a pretty bssic performance. Between all the predictable madness to come, we have constant flashbacks of Tobin bell. Seriously, you've been dead for 3 movies, go away. He give's a half a**ed performance, he says a few lines than disappears, repeat about 5 times.Oh yeah the saw scenario in this installment is a f**cking joke.

Basically this insurance agent who refused coverage for jigsaw in the past (we see flashbacks of this, usually repeating each other, for probably about 6 minutes total) is picked as main contestant. He wakes up in a trap with some random civilian you never hear about ever (or even know if he deserves to die), that crush's the trapped's ribs every time they breath, whoever outlives the other wins. Then he just goes looking around and nothings happening, we are cut too this mom/son in a cage, and this girl the agent had a affair with in a cage. What's the purpose of this? well i wont spoil it for you, but they're pretty much entirely useless until the very last 3 minutes of the movie. He eventually gets ahold of two chains in one hand each, if he lets one go a person will die and the other will be safe, so he chooses between a old lady with a family and some random no name with no background... Seriously, when did they just start killing random people as part of the traps, they aren't part of any game, they depend on another's actions, where's the justice in that. The agent just continues to go on this path of traps deciding other's lives, and usually nothing happens.

I hated this movie, In the seat i was extremely dumbfounded to the point where my mouth was open. Do not see this movie, it's easily the worst saw to date. Nothing happens, barely any plot is forwarded, its EXTREMELY predictable, actings absolute rubbish, dialog/script's just a downright broken, the editing is UWYHURHUNEHJUERUGHJUERGJUERGER, and it could have been gorier. I was severely disappointed with this movie and wished i had not spent the money and time for it. The opening 10 minutes are classic, but the rest of the film is just stupid. All the characters are unlikable, the victims in the game are annoying as ****, i'm just going to stop now. This movie is ****ing terrible.
