Spiral is the way to go
PedroPires9019 May 2021
It's not a perfect film and I saw the plot twist coming from a large distance.
Saying that...I felt that this is the most consistent Saw sequel ever, with the best plot, and the best structure. The formula "traps-after-traps" was more than used and reused, so no point to keep doing the same. This is a very competent detective thriller, dark, with a surprisingly good Chris Rock, lots of gore and without being afraid of being a Saw movie. A different one, but definitely a Saw movie. This is the way to go!

Underwhelming return to the cinema

I was so excited to see this. It was a tradition for me and my buddy back in the day to go to the theater every Halloween for the new Saw sequel. We just had a good time.
I had pretty high expectations for Spiral, but even as I was lowering them throughout the film I kept being disappointed. The traps just weren't impressive at all. I've heard a lot of people say the first one was amazing, and while it was filmed quite well, I didn't think it was great either. So many traps that were simpler from the first 4-5 movies had so much more of an impact. I'll skip over discussing a lot of the details of the film and just get to the ending, which had major Saw IV vibes, and left me feeling pretty empty. I'm not one of these people that claims to have seen the twist coming...I didn't, but it didn't make my jaw drop or fascinate me at all. The ending felt rushed and I don't know exactly what impact they were trying to have.
I'm giving it a 5/10 simply for the effort of bringing the series back. Rock does a decent job really. I just wish the creativity was there.

Jigsaw says "ACAB"
thefendiprint14 May 2021
I have been a Saw fan since the early days and am always excited when another one is in the works, but I have very mixed feelings about this film. On one hand, there's a lot to like and also plenty to dislike about the final product. For starters, the best parts were obviously the traps and the ending, however, the film overall feels rather soulless. It doesn't particularly feel like a Saw film, though I guess at the same time Spiral is the most similar in structure and atmosphere to the first Saw film. But something still just felt off.
I'm not particularly a fan of Chris Rock, so I wasn't super impressed by his performance per se but it wasn't as bad as I thought it may be. The rest of the cast does their parts fine, but nothing to write home about. The story is fine, emphasis on fine, but I will say that I do like that this killer is basically hunting bad cops, which is very politically relevant. But a lot of it still felt very forced and the ending, while it makes sense, isn't gratifying enough nor does it even really get resolved (now that they have Saw 10 on the way, I kind of expected the cliffhanger). Also I absolutely HATE this new voiceover they chose for the killer, it sounds AWFUL. Please just go back to the OG voice, I beg of you!
Now this isn't to say the film is "bad", but it surely isn't very memorable. There are elements that work here, sure, but ultimately the sum of its parts leaves much to be desired. As much as I really wanted to enjoy the film more, I would go as far to say this is probably among the worst of the franchise, despite it technically being a spin-off(?) of sorts (or at least a departure from the John Kramer story). And maybe that's because the Kramer story was so intricate and intriguing, whereas this one is doing more of the same but with a less interesting version of Jigsaw. Hopefully it can be redeemed by the sequel, but I won't be holding my breath. The quality of the franchise has gradually decreased with every new movie, and it's obvious the end times may be near. But with all this said, I will always support Saw and any future films because she's an icon after all!

Entertaining but rushed ending
Chiggychiggy22 May 2021
Now I will say this, this is not a bad film, for most part I quite enjoyed seeing Chris rock as the more serious detective comparing too his more comedic roles in other films. Now if you enjoyed the first 2 saw films, then you'll appreciate the film a little bit more since it has more of a story element and as much as this has some interesting traps and still has a lot of blood and gore, it's not as over the top as the films from saw 3 onwards so it was nice too see it try too go back too it's old element of the first 2 films.
Now the main problem I had with this film was the ending, I won't spoil it for everyone but it did feel very rushed and as much as I was praying that the reveal would throw me off and trick me, it was so easy to predict who is the jigsaw copycat midway in the film and was hoping it would be completely different too what I predicted but it just felt rushed. Overall it was a good time watching this at the cinema, not perfect but way better then jigsaw that came out a few years back and feels like a homage to the first 2 saw films.
