Saw IV (2007)

Lieutenant Riggs has an uncanny obsession of having to try and save everybody he finds in danger. Due to this, he has been thrown in to a game by none other than Jigsaw himself. Riggs has lost several co-worker and friends in the police force and now must make life changing decisions in order to try and save a friend.

Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, written by Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan. Starring Lyriq Bent, Scott Patterson, Costas Mandylor and Tobin Bell reprising his role as John Kramer.

When the news came about that a 4th installment of the series would be filmed, I was highly skeptical about it. They had already killed Jigsaw in part three and basically closed up the story line without leaving me with any major questions next to "what happened to Lawrence". But, a forth part means money,and sometimes that's all that matter to some people.

So needless to say it took me quite a while before I even thought about watching it, but after a while, I started hearing great things about it from different sources and people, so then decided to give it a whirl.

And thankfully for us, it was not all just about money, but in fact, it was about someone who had an amazing idea and wanted to expand the series.

The story line was amazing right from the start and kept me sucked in right till the very end. They were able to not only build up low level characters from the previous films, but also gave an in-depth look at John and other characters backgrounds without it slowing down the movie's pace or ruining the mood.

The writers also were able to tie up a lot of the loose ends left in the first trilogy, connect most of the films together through timelines and left an opening to have another sequel if they chose to do so and with that said a definite 8.5 out of 10!
