SAW IV
(Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, 2007)
Disappointing.
On other movie forums, this film's twist ending was hyped up a lot as being "the biggest, most shocking twist yet". Far from it. In fact, it's the absolute worst... IT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE BEFORE!
On the other hand, it's a decent film to watch.
The psychotic Jigsaw lays dead on an autopsy table, but his games are not over yet... for SWAT Commander Rigg, from the previous films, has been put into a game where he must choose to save the lives of people and then try to save his friends (Donnie Wahlberg & Costas Mandylor).
Saw IV also travels back in time to show us what motivated Jigsaw to start testing people in his torturous games... and we meet his ex-wife, Jill, who in the present time is being questioned by an FBI agent about Rigg's game.
There are plans for a Saw V and Saw VI, but will their twists be as bland and "been there, done that" as Saw IV's and even Saw III's?
Hell, you know what? I need to spoil the ending for you. Here we go, if you want it....

WARNING: "Saw IV" spoilers below
Rigg fails his test for not showing up in an ending that had a better twist ending. From out of the shadows comes Sexy Celebrity holding a poster board that reads: I give Saw IV a C.
"Review over," he says.
