It was terrible on so many levels. _Spiral_ is supposed to reinvent the franchise but I don't see any original idea in here. It rushes through a painfully predictable plot. Chris Rock is annoying as hell! He plays the worst detective ever, or he just can't act. The rest of the cast is weak. They don't have enough personality to make me care about. It also doesn't push the gore to its usual limits. The traps are very underwhelming and the torture sequences are too short. I don't even care if the victims will make it out alive or not. The twist is too painfully obvious, I literally saw it coming from miles away. The killer's trying to imitate Jigsaw voice is honestly laughable. He sounds so stupid and not even intimidating. It could've been enjoyable if there's no _Saw_ thrown into the mix. This film clearly didn't meet the expectations.

Terrible. 1. The twist of the killer was super obvious, I guessed it about 20 mins in to the film 2. Not really many death scenes 3. Chris Rock was just too over the top 4. Not enough character development around Zeke and his dad Update to my original 2021 review with new 2022 content. Will Smith's slap was more thrilling than this movie!

How is it possible to make such a bad acted movie with such big named actors? I don't get it... Even Samuel L. Jackson felt like a horrible actor in this movie... How?! The new jigsaw voice is annoying AF! Its filmed so weird, strange angles, no chemistry between the actors, awkward pauses during a conversation, stupid music and sounds, bad script, boring... I used to love the Saw franchise! But this is just a huge disappointment.

Ouch. Saw is back, with a vengeance. Spiral fits the bill nicely... it doesn't waste time, it is extremely gory and makes you smile for all the wrong reasons. Very satisfying... 7/10.

sorry but I really don't care about dead cops
