For once The SAW series steps out of it's usual formulaic style. This time Jigsaw sets his sights on The Insurance companies. He targets a head at an Insurance Company that is in charge of deciding who they will cover or drop. Like Jigsaw, he essentially makes the choice of who lives and who dies. Now, a pawn in another one of jigsaw's tests he really will decide who will live and who will die.
For anyone who has ever been cheated or wronged by the health industry or an insurance company, this is your film. It plays out as a sick revenge fantasy with Jigsaw at the helm. Oh Yes, there will be blood and lots of it.
SAW 6 does not hold back with it's depictions of torture. Some scenes are downright hard to watch. I wouldn't blame anyone for looking the other way during a few of the traps. There are also more twists than in any other previous SAW installment, so much so that a few who have not been paying close attention to the previous films may walk out scratching their heads. The SAW franchise is suppossed to represent one full story, thus if you miss an installment or just watched them with your brain off then you aren't getting the full experience.
With great camerawork, a compelling story, and some intriguing mysteries SAW 6 is the gem of the Franchise. It accomplishes what no other SAW film has been able to: To effectively place viewers into Jigsaw's shoes, bringing us into his world.
SAW 6 is a brilliant film that makes me anticipate SAW 7 all the more. At The same time I realize that Lightning rarely strikes the same place twice and with The same director who did the failed SAW 5 directing SAW 7 I can't help but be a bit hesitant about SAW 7.
We can only hope that 7 will be as much a breath of fresh air as SAW 6 was.
