SAW VI

"Jigsaw appears in flashbacks in the film. One flashback set prior to the events of the first film showed that it was Amanda Young who sent Adams to Jill Kramer's clinic to steal drugs for her. This resulted in Jill's miscarriage, and thus Young was revealed to be an indirect cause of John Kramer's transformation into Jigsaw. Further flashbacks set prior to the events of the first film reveal that Jigsaw targeted William Easton for one of his games because William, without any sensitivity, had denied him health coverage after he developed cancer. In the present time of Saw VI, Kramer shows himself on video twice to Easton instead of Billy (the method Kramer usually used to speak to his subjects), so Easton could look in the eyes of someone he let die. In another flashback, this time set between the events of the first and second film, Jigsaw explains to his ex-wife that his "rehabilitation" works, showing Amanda Young as supposed evidence of this. A flashback set just before the events of the third and fourth films explores the group dynamic between Jigsaw, Amanda Young and Hoffman. Jigsaw criticises Hoffman for not seeing the test subjects as human beings and also critiques his approach to setting up Timothy Young's trap. It was also shown that Jigsaw seemed to have had a closer emotional attachment to Amanda Young than Hoffman. Shortly afterward, Jigsaw gave his ex-wife the key which she later used to open the box he gave her in his will in saw v). In the present time of Saw VI, it is revealed that the box contained six envelopes (marked 1 through 6), a thicker envelope, and an updated version of the "Reverse Bear Trap". She gave detective Hoffman envelopes 1 through 5, but hid everything else from him and later delivered the thick envelope to an unknown person. Envelope 6 was meant only for Tuck-Kramer, instructing her to trap Hoffman and put the "Reverse Bear Trap" on him so he could be "tested". This fulfilled the promise made, via the audio tape discovered in the stomach of Jigsaw's corpse, that Hoffman would not go untested."

In my opinion this was the BEST film in the series yet. We all hate insurance companies and we all know how they will screw you every chance they can. The plot to this film was based on that. William Easton who ran Umbrella Insurance Co. would find reason to cancel peoples policies when the people needed it the most. The "GAMES' in this film were the best.

My favorite being the merry-go-round that held the six members of Eastons insurance company. The effects and camera angles in this film were AWESOME! All kill scenes were shot from the best angle so that the viewer could see every detail. In the end Easton got what he deserved when a woman and child (who was the wife and son of another person that Easton canceled and let die) got to make the choice of whether Easton got to live or die. To me that was very odd for Jigsaw as he has always let the victims make there own decision. I guess that twist is what made me really love this film. Then to me the most major twist came when Jill Tuck placed the reverse bear trap on Hoffman. I never saw that coming during my viewing of the film.

I think the directors left alot open at the end of this film enabling the chances of a SAW VII. I would personally love to see many more SAW films. I would hope they never ended. Rumors are spreading like wild fire about what SAW VII may possibly be. Only the directors really know and hopefully it will be brought to reality and we will see it later this year. Let's keep hoping. Their are also alot of rumors saying that SAW VII will be in 3D. I really and truly hope that this doesn't happen. In my opinion when a film is made into 3D that is truely the ending. I hate 3D movies and think that by doing this they will destroy the greatest film series ever made. So Lionsgate Films and Director Kevin Greutert PLEASE do not make a SAW VII if you are going to make it 3D. Just leave us with VI films and keep a GREAT series.
