Saw IV - BLU-RAY [2008]

Movie is good, good picture, some extras. Cool cover art also.

good entry in the Saw franchise. Saw 4 was onw of the better entry's in the franchise.

Jigsaw and his apprentice Amanda are dead. 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, when SWAT Commander Rigg is abducted and thrust into a game, the last officer untouched by Jigsaw has but ninety minutes to overcome a series of demented traps and save an old friend or face the deadly consequences.

This one was definitely better than 3, but still not as good as 1 and 2. This one does provide more of the back story behind Jigsaw and provides a good amount of mystery as to who the next in line is, but just wasn't as exciting as the first two. The acting was just ok though and is what really stood out in this installment as none of those cops and FBI agents were believalbe at all. Still the new traps/puzzles, mystery, and suspense makes it a very good movie.

the saw movies get less good as they go along but there all still ok. since this is blu-ray, the gore is much more graphis and real looking and the openning scene is a bit to much. this installment has your typical traps and people screaming help. the unique thing about this saw is that it shows jigsaw before he was a torture machine. it tells you how he got started and it pretty interesting. and the twists get more rediculous. (warning: spoiler) if you dont understand the twist at the end, then read on. both saw 3 and 4 are happening at the same time. after the gorey first scene, everythings a flashback. the builing at the end of this saw is the setting in the 3rd one.
