Movie - Saw II (2005)


Here we have the second installation of the Saw series right after the first which in my opinion is the best way to watch movies like this. This movie leaves the characters from the first movie and follows a detective who is searching for Jigsaw to solve the murders. Once he has him cornered and is finally about to bring him in, Jigsaw reveals that he has kidnapped his son and that the only way to get him back is by just sitting down and talking to him until the timer runs out. On the video screen, he watches as his son is pitted against some of the criminals he framed and sent to jail. Too impatient to sit and talk with Jigsaw, he takes matters into his own hands by becoming very rough with Jigsaw and forcing him to take him to where his son is being held on the video. Once he gets to the building, the viewers then realize that the video they had been watching was a recording and was not something currently going on. The timer buzzes and a safe within Jigsaw's hideout opens to reveal the detective's son alive. The detective, however, has been tricked and is jumped by one of Jigsaw's assistants (Amanda) and trapped in the basement. The movie gets you again with the great twists in the ending that you don't expect. I liked this one just as much as the first one and gave this a four as well. Really great sequel.
