Eric Matthews (Donnie Wahlberg) is a police detective who, after discovering the aftermath of a particularly gruesome murder, is convinced that Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) is up to his ugly tricks again. Matthews's hunch turns out to be correct, but the master criminal proves to be disconcertingly easy to capture. As it happens, Jigsaw is eager to beput behind bars in order to throw the authoritiesoff his trail as he once again punishes people who in his eyes have transgressed the boundaries of acceptable moral behavior. But instead of trappingtwo people in a filthy dungeon where they must engage in a terrible contest in order to win their freedom, eight people have been locked away by Jigsaw, and they must torture their bodies and minds to achieve the terrible justice Jigsaw seeks. Saw II was written by Leigh Whannell, who also scriptedthe first film. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide Amazon.com: Saw II brings back many features of the original Saw: elaborate sadistic scenarios designed to "test" the victims' will to live; Tobin Bell as the Machiavellian (yet doomed) serial killer Jigsaw; Shawnee Smith as Amanda, a survivor of one of Jigsaw's "games", forced to play again; Dina Meyer (Starship Troopers), whose role as a detective is considerably expanded; and the stunningly godawful dialogue of screenwriter Leigh Whannel. The set-up this time is even more preposterous than before, as a rough-and-tumble cop named Eric (Donnie Whalberg, Band of Brothers) watches, on video monitors, his son trapped in a house filled with nerve gas and a handful of other victims, all of whom are mysteriously connected. Eric has captured Jigsaw, but the implacable killer refuses to reveal where the cop's son is being held... unless Eric will play by Jigsaw's rules. Fans of Saw will love Saw II, as the tortures are more gruesome than before; viewers who found Saw either detestable or laughable won't like Saw II either, as the characters rarely behave like actual people (even when a moment's explanation would solve a conflict, no one bothers to communicate, even though their lives are on the line). It's a festival of body fluids, agonized grimaces, and shrieks of pain--and if that's your thing, this is your movie. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
 Rating:  - very happyI was very pleased with the speed of product delivery and the quality of the product. Rating: - You gotta play by the rulesSaw 2 is a sequal that worked for the most part in my opinion. It stays true to the Saw theme by still asking if you are grateful to be alive, and asking how much blood you are willing to shed to stay alive once you are in a life or death situation (or game, as Jigsaw calls it). The games (or traps some may like to call them too) are more played out in this sequal, where as we only got to see glimpses in the first Saw. The main scenario is on a larger scale, played out in an old house with a group ... Read More Rating:  - Not the cutting edge of sequelsThis second installment of the Saw series is by far the worst of the bunch. Sequels are always a bad idea, especially when you're up against something as brilliant as the original Saw. Let's face it. This is a premise with severely limited room for expansion. The first Saw was a beautifully wretched and gruesome concept that was played out great on film. But this sequel didn't have much of a chance of matching the sweet bloody ambiance of its pedecessor. Like most sequels, since the premise of the ... Read More Rating:  - another great sawThis was another great saw movie. This was a great performence and shocking thrill, this was a great movie. Rating: - my favorite saw of them allthis is my favorite movie in the series and i own them all. alot of people either think this one is the best or the worst. 2 people i know think this one is the best out of all of them aswell. the traps are cool the acting is good and it keeps you interested at whats going to happen next. i like donnie walhberg, he plays the cop well and its funny when he yells at jigsaw and threatens him. the needle pit is the coolest trap, and the gore was good. people will always compare this with the first one ...
