The notorious serial killer Jigsaw is back for more deadly fun and games.
First film was great, more holes than a Swiss cheese and all that, but great fun nonetheless.
So maybe it was the anticipation of another slice of this nasty cheese just a year after the first that ultimately undoes this film.
It's shambolic, unpleasant (not in a good way), overbearing (not in a good way), badly acted (not in a good way) - well, you get the gist.
Tobin Bell is just as good as before and Jigsaw is still a great villain - but the spot-on claustrophobia of Saw has been replaced by the suffocation of too many victims, none of which you'll care too much about.
Donnie Wahlberg's attempt at guilt-ridden angst is more akin to watching a drunk fumbling for his zipper, knowing time is running out and he's not gonna get it. 'It' being acting in Wahlberg's case.
The film is only worth watching for the wonderful devices that Jigsaw creates, but the viewer is given the finger at the end when we realise there is to be a new Jigsaw who's best weapon seems to be sweaty pits.
Such a shame....
