Blu-ray Reviews of Saw IV [Blu-ray]

Blu-ray Review: SAW should have died with the death of JIGSAW
Summary: 3 Stars

Saw IV, is quite possibly the worst in the series. Three factors hinder the film: 1) A predictable storyline, 2) Sloppy writing and 3) Mediocre direction. What saved this film is the acting, it was surprisingly a vast improvement over the previous installments. The film is reason alone why the series should conclude. Unfortunately, that is not the case, with the fifth heading our way.

Saw IV, is evidence that Hollywood continues to beat a dead horse. The film is nothing more than a cash crop, as the last two have been. The first Saw was groundbreaking for the "detective thriller" genre sampling from Se7en another amazingly disturbing film of the same theme. Nearly, everything about the first installment was done correctly right down to the shocking ending that no one could have predicted. Sadly, the same cannot be said about the forth. It offers nothing shocking, interesting or puzzling. The traps were no where near as vicious or thoughtout as the ones featured in the previous films. The ending was boring and left the feeling of "duh" in the mind. The film, lacked the degree of depth the others have. But, that is expected seeing how you cannot possibly shock the audience anymore.

*spoiler alert*

Anyone that watched Saw III's "Troy Trap" scene could figure out what's in store for the fourth. I predicted who the next "Jigsaw" would be by watching that specific scene. It's so obvious, it angers me that they would actually go that route, but sadly they did. Oh well, such is the film industry. I did not have high hopes for Saw IV, now I even have lower for number V.

So, if I hated this movie so much why give it 3 stars? I did not hate it, I merely see it for what it is, the beginning of the end to an otherwise good series. A movie that was made solely to rake in cash and it achieved just that, scoring a place in the number one spot at the box office. And, I'm sure Saw V will do the very same. It achieved its goal, so give the audience what they want, blood and gore. So, one of those stars I gave is strictly because the film served it's purpose. The second star was because the film's writers in their own way, pushed Saw into a different direction. Lastly, the third star was because the movie kept me awake (even though, I did yawn and close my eyes a few times).

So, yes the film succeeded where other movies of the same genre fail. Could it have been better? Of course, it could have. Did they really need number IV? Like they needed II & III, not at all. Will I pay to see number V? Yes, only because I'm a true Saw fan.

*note*

This review has nothing to do with the remarkable Blu-ray format which I am positive will look and sound outstanding.

Recommendations: Death Sentence (Saw director, James Wan)
