With Valentines day nearly over… I had to go out to find that perfect date movie. One with a good love story, beautiful people, a tear jerker scene, 10 Oscar nominations, and Jude Law.
It just so happens that I found something that only fits one of the traits… with the inclusion of the hot “Lucy” actress from 7th Heaven, Beverly Mitchell, the goal of finding something with beautiful people in it was easy.
I digress. So back to finding the right movie… ahh yes, Saw II was something that I wanted to see in the theater, but with my busy lifestyle, I was forced to wait till today when it came out on widescreen DVD format.
If you saw Saw (mwuahaha) then you might have a clue as what to expect… but you’re wrong. I can’t explain much of the plot as it would give away the movie. Essentially it’s a psychotic thriller / borderline slasher that bends the mind and twists the plot. Great for the people who watch a movie and think they know what will happen… and then the “oh sh*t” comes out.
Comparing this movie to the first, I would have to say that it broke the inevitable “sequel fate” and actually outdid the original. The bad acting was still present but not as noticable. The killer and methods were outstanding as always… for the sick and twisted, almost an “Ohh Wow, that’s clever” kind of reaction.
All in all I say it’s a great movie pickup, even if you do watch it with your loved one(s) on Valentine’s Day.
Oh well...
Riiight.
