Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Don't listen to the negative reviews
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
After the utterly confusing fifth installment of the "Saw" franchise, I knew that the "Saw" brand would be at a crossroads, with this effort likely determining its future viability. As it turned out, this is where the slow bleed begins.For a basic plot summary, Saw 6 sees Detective Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) continuing the work of the very much deceased Jigsaw (Tobin Bell). This time, in keeping with real-life events, the targets of the cruel iron death traps are mortgage loaners and health care representatives, and they are both morally and physically tested by the horrifying ordeal.I have one very positive thing to saw about the film, which is that I least I could understand what was going on (something I could not say about the fifth movie). Instead of overly relying on Jigsaw flashbacks (although there are still a few of those), this film kind of goes back to the roots of the original, where the focus is on the morality of the "game", not on Jigsaw's tangled personal web. Unfortunately, that is about the only compliment I can give.The main problem with a film like this is that it has milked the source material so dry that it's more disappointing than interesting. The original "Saw" completely changed the game in terms of horror flicks, but each subsequent sequel only watered things down a little bit more. By the time this one rolled around, there are no more surprises and the shock value is gone, plain and simple. Basically, one can only "go to the well" so many times before it dries up.Thus, although this franchise hasn't produced the worst sequels in horror movie history (see: Halloween), by "Saw 6" it is clear that the originality has dried up and the writers/producers are running on fumes. Who knows how long the franchise will continue, as the horror genre can always bank on that one special week (up to October 31) for good business, but suffice it to say that it will only serve to make us appreciate the genius of the original even more.
This movie is not scary. There is a short film that the first Saw is based on. Saw the short film is scary. It is 1234564324567754324565435 time better then this crap. Saw (2004) is a better movie and that was awful. Saw II is a better movie and that was awful. Saw III is a better and that was awful. Saw IV is a better movie and that was awful. Saw V is better movie and that was awful. This movie has an awful story line. It is badly edited. There dead bodies it two places at the same time. This movie has an awful ending. Do not see this movie. Do not wast your money. Do not wast your time. This movie is not for people who like real scary movie. It is for people who like to look at a lot of fake blood.
The first one,despite being a low budget movie was quite something.It could have been better but it got me thrilled.After that we get into a loop of decreasing quality,increasing splatter quantity and a seriously flawed plot.Many holes,too many impossible coincidences and too many inconsistensies in a wanna be consistent series of movies.The bad guy breaks his own rules(or his partners),people die whatever choice they make,so there really is no point to watch this so called righteous,yet psychopathic,teaching about appreciating life in the first place.If you like giving more than 5 hours of your life in order to see a plotlles scenario that makes people die in many different ways with a lot of blood and disgust,be my guest...Otherwise I wouldn't recommend it..Watch "seven" with morgan and brad instead or hannibal.I feel guilty even indirectly comparing these awesome movies to this one or the previous ones. Also at many points through all of the movies,except the first,there is a forced timeline manipulation just so the story makes sense....kinda makes sense I mean....Has a chance of making sense..OK it doesn't make much of a sense without tiring you a lot and leaving many holes......
Just when I expected the Saw franchise to turn for the worst, Saw VI surpassed any expectations I once had about a decrease in quality. First off, there are some political motives behind this movie, although I don't really agree with, it was actually a nice touch. With past films I was all about the continuity of the storyline; however my all-time favorite trap scene appeared in this film, the shotgun carousel. In my opinion it is by far the most ballsy and unsettling trap yet. Also, the flow and process going behind the background of Jigsaw was way more complex and thought provoking than any other film. Finally, the addition of the new characters meshed excellently with the returning cast. This ending, unlike Saw V, absolutely threw me for a loop on what was going to happen. It isn't at all the most shocking of endings but it did give me the chills. Not a bad horror flick and a surprisingly good sequel in Saw VI (7/10).
