A lot of people think the Saw films got worse as they went along, but that is SO far from the truth. The Saw films got more in-depth as they went along. This film explores the relationship beginnings of John and Hoffman...it is a great 'beginning' as shown in the flashbacks...they allude to Dr Gordon and Det Tapp from the first film and that is just a part of what's great with their "humble" beginnings. The last trap is arguably the hardest one to watch out of the entire series...it's built up so well, and looks to be the most painful. Bravo to Julie Benz and Tobin Bell for bringing this film to life!
What's great about it: Last trap. Origin of Hoffman.
