Saw VI

What is Saw 6 if Saw 7 and 8 are still coming up ? The first one was good, maybe so was the second one. The theme of the movie was quite interesting at that time but of course with the disgusted and gross way of how the human body was being designed to bleed, cut off, crushed, burnt, torn apart, exploded, etc, it adds to the entertaining level.

Quite a number of characters has evolved from 1 to 6, even when Jigsaw died since, the sequels kept going on. Missed the first 15 mins but from wiki, it seems as gross as 2 bodies were found. Mark Hoffman is the detective who was being informed by the FBI. He is the one who continued with Jigsaw's games. As he met Jigsaw ex-wife Jill, who gave him 5 envelopes as they started to plan the next game, involving William, some guy who is an executive on some insurance company who Jigsaw met when Jill opened her clinic.

Anyway, William was captured and asked to pass 6 tests in 60 mins. In the whole course, he met people he know. First he had to compete with his janitor to see who can breath lesser so as not to let the machine crushed his body. The janitor didn't make it.

Then as the go across doors and rooms, he found he was grabbing onto 2 steel like chains, each holding onto 2 colleagues, he has to choose which one to let go, the one he let go will be hanged to death.

Thirdly, he went into some boiler room where his attorney has 90s to run through a cage like structure before something strung around her chest activates which will fire a spike through her head. Also he has to stop jets of steam pumping at her by diverting it to himself. She did made it but only knowing there is a key which was in his stomach. Knowing that, she took up some saw and tried to cut him to get the key. She failed.

Then came 6 of his junior workers strapped around a merry go round, seems very theme park like but not if some shotgun is pointing at you. Each turn will stopped a person at the shotgun position. William can decide if he/she lives by putting his hand into something which will pierced through his palm but also elevating the shotgun upwards thus missing the person. Quite a frantic ride.

Lastly, he was into between 2 cages. One with his sister, the other a mother and son, whose William deny coverage for the latter's husband. There is a switch in the mother/son cage, "live" or "die". The mother couldn't bear to kill William but the son can. Doing that unleashed a bed of needles flunging down piercing William's back and with that, hydrofluoric acid was pouring through, disintegrating him into halves.

On the other hand, the FBI is close to finding Mark is into all these killings but he is faster as he killed them in the laboratory. He used Strahm's severed hand to leave prints behind. Jill attacked Mark and strapped him to a chair and attached the "reverse bear trap" on him but he did manage to escape but with a portion of his face/jaw torn apart. 6/10
