Saw II Review
With a stronger story, sicker and more disturbing traps, and even better acting then the original, Saw II is one of those rare sequels that surpass the foundation it was built on. While the movie does, yet again, leave things open for a potential sequel, I hope Lion's Gate won't resort to pulling another chapter out. They've gotten the Saw concept right this time. As with most horror movies these days, Saw II does have one disappointing aspect: the requisite MTV style editing that ensues when the action kicks into high gear. Each time Jigsaw's puzzles prepare to go off, we see quick, increasingly faster, strobe-like shots of the trap before, during, and after it fires. Well, the story was good but I didnt like the direction much.
