terrible... so disappointed.

How sad is this?

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Despite Jigsaw's death, and in order to save the lives of two of his colleagues, Lieutenant Rigg is forced to take part in a new game, which promises to test him to the limit. I don't know what is worse in Saw IV the fact that it's beyond stupid and boring? and has no meaning to exist? or the fact that Donnie Wahlberg has one of the dumbest deaths i have ever seen in my entire life? It's probably both i guess. If you enjoyed the previous sequels or the later ones you might enjoy this one too but for fans of the original? Probably skip this one as well please. (0/10)

I might have been too kind to "Saw III" but keep in mind that I won't be like that to this movie. The part I found to be strongest in the previous movie was Jeff having to go find his daughter. In this movie, he's eventually shown dying so the whole thing was pointless. That movie had two stories that connected but this one seems just a mess. Not even Jigsaw dying could stop the series. He's still credited as the main character!He appears through a ton of flashbacks. It does just seem like this movie was made for no reason other than to show more gore. Like my friend and mom said, there's enough bad stuff in the real world that we don't have to contribute to it. I admit the premise is still pretty good and the series is fairly creative, but it's just not rewarding. They should have probably just ended this after the third. Tobin Bell's a pretty good actor though. **

Saw IV gives us more gore, less brains. Wait, poor choice of words. I should say we are *shown* more brains but not required to use our own. Jigsaw, having been killed in an earlier movie, comes back but in the stupidest, most anticlimactic way possible. Almost as if the writers were sitting around 5 minutes til deadline, having elaborated on all the gory stuff, then suddenly realizing 'whoa wait, jigsaw is dead. Who's going to be behind all this crap? Aha..!' (I won't spoil it)Aside from that, even the killings lack the poetic irony that made all the other movies so fun to watch. The whole gimmick of the Saw franchise is that the killings are each part of some twisted morality lesson, sorta like Mother Goose on psychotic drugs. But here, there didn't seem to be much effort put into the karma content; instead they focused on wacky gadgets that mutilate people in interesting ways. Cool stuff, but you're left wondering 'What did that have to do with anything?'Example: Some drug addict is put into a contraption where the only way to free himself is to slice his face up with knives. Get it? I didn't either. But as the killer hastily explains: "Because you've acted so UGLY in life, now you'll have to live your life being UGLY!" Get it? I didn't either.Ultimately the movie wasn't all bad because it held my attention hoping for some grand epiphany at the end. There is indeed a "surprise twist" but it seemed to be thrown in just for the sake of a surprise twist.I'm pretty bummed because I bought the whole Saw set and was enjoying them all up until now. But SAW 4 threw a real WRENCH in the works.

This movie is awful. The short 9 minute version of the first Saw movie is very scary. It 100000000000 time better then this pooh pooh. Saw (2004) is a better movie and that was awful. Saw II is better movie and that was awful. Saw III is a better movie and that was awful. This movie is badly written. It also badly edited. Dead bodies end up in to places at the same time. They are just don't know what there are doing. The ending is awful. This movie is pooh pooh. Do not see this movie. It is crap. It an overrated pile of stinky pile of pooh pooh with pee pee on top of it. Do not wast your money. Do not wast your time. This movie is not scary. It is just a big pile of pooh pooh.
