Now that Jigsaw and Amanda are dead, how will the games continue? Well, you'll have to wait and see. But trust me, they do -- Officer Rigg is in a race against time to save his fellow detective, Eric Matthews (no, not the kid from "Boy Versus World"). But how many must die so one man can live? I'm going to be blunt: this film is a complete mess. The plot doesn't make a lot of sense. The traps are very elaborate. And maybe I'm thinking too hard, but I just don't see how Jigsaw could expect Rigg to follow the clues exactly as he has to to move from step one to step two. There are probably fifteen occasions in the film, if not more, where a character has to act precisely as Jigsaw would predict or the whole scheme falls apart.
The blood is there, the traps are there. And the best part about this film is the attempt to explain Jigsaw's origin (if you have no other reason to see this movie, that's the one reason I can suggest). I really liked the backstory. But with each new film, the "life lessons" Jigsaw was teaching get more and more vague or seem to disappear altogether. And a serial killer who sets traps is fun, but how is that different from every other horror film out there? Jigsaw was a man of ethics, however twisted... he's lost that now. (Although, being dead, i suppose he doesn't much care now.) You watched the first three, you may as well watch parts four, five and six. Sure, they'll never regain what the first film did for the fans. But we're in too deep now. And who knows, they may reverse course and get better... "Friday the 13th" had some bad years but came back. I'll let them give me five and six... but after that, if things don't improve, they're going without me. (But, I'm rambling -- you should see "Saw IV".)
