Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman. Written by Bousman and Leigh Whannell. Starring Tobin Bell, Shawnee Smith, Donnie Wahlberg, Dina Meyer, Emmanuelle Vaugier, Glenn Plummer, Beverley Mitchell, Franky G, Tony Nappo, Tim Burd and Erik Knudsen.
Plot: Detective Matthews (Wahlberg) hunts Jigsaw (Bell) while also trying to find eight people that Jigsaw has trapped in a large building somewhere.
The eight people trapped are Detective Matthew’s son, Daniel (Knudsen), Amanda (Smith), a former victim of Jigsaw’s, Gus (Nappo), Laura (Mitchell), Addison (Vaugier), Xavier (G), Jonas (Plummer) and Obi (Burd). None of them, aside from Daniel, are really likable at all. And Jigsaw himself is just so crazy that we don’t sympathize with him either, so these movies are really hard for us. I mean, I know drug dealer’s aren’t usually the best kinds of people, but does Xavier have to be such a dick?!
It is once again very innovative, but we hate the motive. And there was no Freddy Claws. The group of eight people are told that there’s a nerve agent running through the house and that the antidotes are hidden throughout the house as well. With a lot of the traps, if people had just worked together, it might have been okay, but no one does.
Our score: 52. The sequel definitely loses some ground.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
