Jigsaw is back. The brilliant, disturbed mastermind who wreaked havoc on his victims in last year's Saw is back for another round of horrifying life-or-death games. Donnie Wahlberg, Beverly Mitchell, Dina Meyer, Emmanuelle Vaugier, Shawnee Smith, and Tobin Bell star. Extras include audio commentary with director and stars, props, deconstructing Jigsaw's traps, animated storyboards and concept art, and more. In SAW, a huge horror hit in 2004, a masked man called Jigsaw orchestrated the kidnapping of two people, chained them in a disgusting bathroom in an abandoned warehouse, and played vicious, brutal mind games with them that potentially could lead to their freedom. Jigsaw is back for more gory fun in SAW II, but this time he comes out from behind the mask to terrorize a troubled cop face-to-face. Tobin Bell reprises his brief role as Jigsaw in the first film with a major starring turn in the sequel. Dying of cancer, Jigsaw lets himself get caught, only to show Detective Eric Matthews (Donnie Wahlberg) that his son, Daniel (Erik Knudsen), has been taken hostage with seven other people, all of whom have been placed in a house of horrors with only the slimmest chance of escaping with their lives. Jigsaw promises Matthews that Daniel will live only if the cop follows the rules of the game, but time is running out, as the captives' bodies have been poisoned with a toxin that will soon destroy them. Meanwhile, in the dank, mysterious, booby-trapped house, the ever-more-desperate group of people (including Shawnee Smith, who is back as Amanda, the lone survivor of SAW) furiously try to find their connection to each other and a way out, but blood and violence lie in their path. Like its predecessor, SAW II is a frightening thriller filled with plenty of tricks and treats to satisfy even the most jaded horror fan. In Theaters October 28, 2005 Saw II Reviews: "As Jigsaw, Tobin Bell is unnerving as the film's cancer-ridden, albino-skinned puppeteer."
-- Andrew Osmond, Sight and Sound "Tobin Bell makes Jigsaw, the clue-dropping killer, a classic."-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "[It] takes the lead with its smoother landing, which is again primed to blow the movie wide open, but manages a more compelling job of it than the original's cheat finish." -- Grade: B-

Saw II Movie Review Average Rating: (4.4 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews One of the few sequels to surpass the original
After i saw the first one whick i thought was a decent film i did not expect much from this but i was really surprised at how great this movie was. I actually prefer this over the original. I was able to enjoy this over the original because i found the original to be very depressing but the sequels were all better than the original i found. Saw 2 is brilliant sequel and i highly recommend.

 Nothing special here,it's just boring to me...
I don't like to be a hipocrit,but who are you suppose to root for in this movie.If it's the bad guy here's a shocker,he get's away with it,and I also thought that the twist at the end was more geussable than the first,and I think the thing I hate the most is that you don't care about anybody in these movies.
I mean at least in panic room you root for Jody foster,and her daughter.Here there's no good character developement,or anybody you know enough about to really feel concerned about,and I certainly don't care about jigsaw.So who does that leave,the cop.He's a depressed drunk.So if there's no one to care about,then why should anyone care,answer me that,and if you like it's cheap torture scenes.Give me a break.There's alot of movie's with stuff like that in them,and they're probably alot better...

 Better than the first.
thought this movie was better than the first one. It had more information about jigsaw, which made it more interesting to watch.
Some of the characters I thought were a waste of time & movie line, but guess they had to kill time some how. I like how Jigsaw keeps coming up with all these horrible new devices & games.
Better than first....

Be prepared to be scared. James Wan's directorial debut, written by and starring Leigh Whannell, is a violent, bloody, psychologically exhausting and exhilarating exercise in terror. Adam (Whannell) and Dr. Gordon (Cary Elwes) are chained in a vile, disgusting bathroom, separated by a bloody corpse holding a gun and a tape recorder. They are each given a saw--the only obvious way out is to cut one of their feet off. A serial killer who specializes in torturing morally bereft strangers is playing a game with them: Gordon has less than eight hours to kill Adam or else the doctor's wife (Monica Potter) and daughter (Mackenzie Vega) will be murdered. As the two men engage in a battle of wits, alternately trying to help each other and secretly attempting to win the game, ...

In 2004, a low-budget horror film about a man who put people with moral failings into grisly, murderous situations became a huge hit. In 2005, the sequel scored again, upping the body count and the terror. In 2006, the franchise continued, with plenty of gore as well as an emotional story line that delved into the psychological makeup of the main characters. As SAW II concluded, Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) was dying. But that doesn't mean his penchant for playing games of torture and violence is ending. In SAW III, the murders start occurring again, and Kerry (Dina Meyer) is back on the case, although she thinks this time it might be the work of a copycat. She's only partly right: Amanda (Shawnee Smith), the only victim to have survived both movies, has joined Jigsaw as his apprentice, leading the way through a terrifying game involving Lynn (Bahar Soomekh), a doctor in an unhappy marriage, and Jeff (Angus Macfadyen), a distraught man who is having trouble getting over the loss of his son (Stefan Georgiou) at the hands of a drunk driver. Amanda has captured Lynn and placed her in a neck brace ...

The fourth SAW film takes fans into uncharted waters. Now that John/Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) is dead, screenwriters Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan (writers of the Project Greenlight-produced FEAST) give us Jigsaw's "origin" story--finally showing us why he does what he does. Along they way, they still find time to work in the usual dose of elaborate Rube Goldberg-like torture devices and heaps of MPAA-defying gore in what plays like an extreme version of CSI. During his (extremely graphic) autopsy, Jigsaw's final tape (swallowed in SAW III) is found in his stomach. Promising that his work will continue despite his passing, his message sets off a series of grisly tasks for anxious SWAT team leader Rigg (Lyriq Bent), who is given 90 ...
