Even death itself can't bring the savage games of Jigsaw to an end, as Saw IV proves; if anything, the fiendishly clever serial killer (once again played by Tobin Bell) is equally capable of dealing out violent death while lying on a morgue slab as he was in life. Saw IV also offers a class reunion of characters from the previous three films, each once again up to their necks in Jigsaw's schemes. Chief among them is Sgt. Rigg (Lyriq Bent) from Saw II, who must place himself in Jigsaw's shoes in order to rescue Detective Matthews (Donnie Walhberg), who was abducted by the killer at the end of Saw II, and Forensic Hoffman (Costas Mandylor from Saw III), from another elaborate murder device. Meanwhile, FBI agents led by Scott Patterson (Gilmore Girls, Aliens in America) attempt to track Rigg as he carries out Jigsaw's horrific notion of justice from beyond the grave. Casual horror fans may find the endless puzzles and relentless nihilism of the Saw series wearing thin with this fourth entry, but the franchise's key selling points--the Sadean excesses of Jigsaw's macabre creations--remain as bloody and unsettling as ever. --Paul Gaita

 Ok...Is enough already enough? November 29, 2008
Ok...I think that this one may have done it. I know that there is already a number 5 out and I would see it becuase I already know who the bad guy is and enough is enough already.
This was one of those movies that they only made becuase they can still turn a profit with the Saw Brand Name.
Do yourself a favor and buy Saw 1 and stop after that...
 questions were answered November 25, 2008
Well I wanted to see this one before saw the fifth one, obviously. This one didn't miss a beat. Sick and twisted as you'd expect with and ending you wouldn't. Saw V is the glue to put all of them together, but still leaves room for another couple movies. I'm curious to see what happens next.
Really Scary October 30, 2008
This is the 4th one in the total scary chain, the surprising and unpredictable actions are greaaat.
If you have a rock heart and like the horror movies, then YOU MUST WATCH the whole chain.
Best Regards,
Breathed new life into the Saw series October 25, 2008
I didn't care much for Saw 3. It wasn't BAD, but it certainly wasn't as good as Saw 1 or 2. I thought Saw 4 would be absolutely terrible, for one, since Jigsaw was dead, and secondly, because each movie has gotten progressively worse since the beginning. Thankfully, I was wrong.
Saw 4 took you on a ride throughout Jigsaw's life, in addition to showing a lot more new "games" being played. The background on Jigsaw's life was very interesting, and it answered a lot of the questions fans were wondering about, watching the other 3 Saw movies. We now understood why Jigsaw began playing these "games" to begin with, after his wife was struck by a drug addict, and had a miscarriage, while 7 months pregnant.
Good movie, and am looking forward to Saw 5.
more twists and surprises October 23, 2008
Even after Jigsaw died, his work continues. But why? Why does anyone bother to listen to those tapes he left? Besides, why does anyone go through the trouble of setting up those devious contraptions? We may never know the answers to these questions but that's what the Saw series is all about. If no one bothered to continues Jigsaw's work, there would be no story. So as the series progresses, things are made up about Jigsaw's past (i.e. ex-wife losing his child). On the director's commentary, it is explained that a lot of what happens in this film runs concurrent or before the last Saw installment. For this reason, watching it is rather confusing at first. It's intricate but there are not as many profound philisophical statements as in the previous installment. It's suspensful and full of gore. I like how they use the montage to reveal how things came together in the end.
