The actors played well, I personally liked it. The film kept in suspense, ideally. Micro humor was even in the subject, although judging by the trailer at first glance you can ask: "what the hell in the franchise saws there is humor?"

Ending class, as in the seventh part

The jigsaw was good. I was afraid that there would be **** but the film surpassed all my expectations and was able to surprise

I must say this film cannot be compared to the original "Saw" movie. Despite this, it's a great franchise resurrection (after the terrible "Saw 3D").

So, what's about film's advantages? First of all, it provides fans a totally new story and awesome plot at all: "meat" is not a word to describe the content of "Jigsaw" as blood-scenes here take quite a small part (I guess, to remind us of what franchise this film is a part of). Actually, it's a detective with horror elements and, to be honest, a GOOD one. Puzzles, twists and suspense - that's it! You watch "Jigsaw" being confused by the plot and then you are amazed by the explanations in the end - that's what I missed in the last "Saw" films, especially in the totally transparent and dull seventh one.
What's more, the actors played really well. Panic? Fear? Pain? All this emotions were transferred by them in the best way. Also, I've noticed quite a great soundtrack: thanks Charlie Clouser for this magnificent music that perfectly suits the film.

OK, and what about film's drawbacks?
Well, I can't say straight, but the micro-humor of this film isn't necessary at all. It only disturbs you while watching such serious movie like "Jigsaw". OF COURSE, it doesn't make the film comic (oppositely to the dumb trailer), but it's just useless. You remove it - you get a cleanliness in the plot.
The second thing I don't like in "Jigsaw" is its gamma. Do you remember the fifth film with its beautiful blue tones? Such detail increases the film's atmosphere and also "Saw V" was a boring project, it was atmospheric. What about "Jigsaw"? Its gamma is neutral. Just neutral with no expressions. At first you watch a great actors' performance, but then you get confused by the movie's strange colors, for instance, there's no gloominess in the indoor games scenes like it was in the "Saw II", consequently, no claustrophobic feelings.

Two pluses, two minuses, but my rating of the film is 8. I am a fan of the "Saw" franchise and I like its new part.
My consensus is that "Jigsaw" is a wonderful film with a few drawbacks. Thank you, Spierig brothers for this new experience!

The film is a good continuation of the saw franchise. The film is unique and interesting. I can't wait to see what they're going to do next with the franchise. If your a fan of the saw franchise or horror, in general, this film is a must-see.

Jigsaw delivers more of what fans want and not much else. It's new twists are clever, but perhaps not the most complex. It doles out hints at regular intervals so those who are paying attention and actively trying to figure things out before the big reveal will likely pick up on what's really going on in spite of the fake-outs. It's not as fun as just waiting for the explanations, but to each their own. My personal recommendation would be to let things play out without putting any real thought into it, because the plot is just creative enough to catch you off guard if you do. Plus this is the Saw series. Actually using your brain when watching it could kill your enjoyment of the entire thing. The new traps are fun and the deaths are as delightfully gory as ever. The Spierig's have come up with a quite a few inventive ways to kill people so the thrills of the game are still in place. You'll just have to put up with a moment of two of glaring stupidity from it's participants. It's always irritating when the would be survivors refuse to work with one another and instead just scream and refuse to cooperate. Especially in Jigsaw's case where someone's death was completely avoidable as they already new the solution, but would rather just cry and yell. At least when they go they do a lot of bleeding in the process. It's called torture-porn for a reason. This stuff isn't for the squeamish.

All in all it's a worthy follow up for series. It relies on some familiar plot elements, but does enough of it's own thing to stand out from the rest of the movies while still managing to connect with them. Saw has found it's way into some good hands that have left the door open for even more. Who knows what will come next. As a fan of the previous films I enjoyed this comeback and wouldn't mind seeing the games continue on from this point. So yeah, Jigsaw is a success. Are you ready to see people receive the gruesome judgement in store for them? Are you ready to play another game? Well that option is finally here. Live or die, make your choice.… Expand
