Saw IV: Review By Love & Napalm

There's no denying Saw IV kicks off on the right note. Within minutes your moving around in your seat trying to hide from the screen while your stomach has run back down to the foyer banging on the box office window wanting a refund! Sadly that's seems to be where it ends.

Tobin Bell without a doubt is this films highlight. He's been the driving force in keeping these films entertaining, and unfortunately he may never recieve the credit he deserves as an actor. But as for the film itself? Without ruining to much and spoiling this films 'twist'. It just lacks a little bit of everything, and I found myself constantly asking myself 'why'. Why is that character doing that? Why this, why that etc etc. The big let down which could have elevated the films short comings was the ending, or the 'twist'. All I could say to myself was the biggest 'WHY?' It will make more sense to those rabid fans who want to make it make more sense, and good for those folk. But for me at the point the film could have hit a high note, it hit a real bum one! I love the origianal 'Saw', it is a true modern day classic. This sadly is just a sequel.........
