Lol naw I saw it already. I thought it was ok. Its one of those thriller films that you can put on for people that are not fans of the series or genre.
I’m saying. Facts. They totally made this the “safe” Saw for general audiences. This is not a Saw for us as horror fans with actual knowledge of the genre and have watched all of the saw franchise movies. This was not a Saw movie- they used the saw banner for marketing purposes but this could have been literally any generic thriller/drama movie.

I agree, movie was a microwave Seven mixed with Saw. Th movie really did not need to be made since it added no value or nothing excited to the franchise. Just a waste of millions of dollars(big gripe that I have with Hollywood in general, may make a thread on it). Its a Saw movie that you can watch with your mom because she like Chris Rock lol.

I kinda thought the opposite and thought it was just aight for that reason.
I thought they were gonna take things in a new, hopefully interesting, direction. Instead it just felt like any of the other Saws after the first couple, which actually felt original.

Me too, it is like making a Candyman movie starring Eddie Murphy.

I actually would not mind that. That would be interesting
I was giving out some trivia. The role was originally written for him and he turned it down.
Here’s what I DO like about the movie, fully realizing it’s not as gory or violent or twisted as saw normally is: the story. I like when long running franchises interrogate themselves and question stuff. Saw has an iffy relationship with cops, specifically crooked cops, and normally looks over their transgressions because they’re cops. So this movie looking at that relationship and turning the energy against it had me going
or 
most of the time because I felt it.
