Description of Saw IV (Unrated Widescreen Edition):
Even death itself can't bring the savage games of Jigsaw to an end, as Saw IV proves; if anything, the fiendishly clever serial killer (once again played by Tobin Bell) is equally capable of dealing out violent death while lying on a morgue slab as he was in life. Saw IV also offers a class reunion of characters from the previous three films, each once again up to their necks in Jigsaw's schemes. Chief among them is Sgt. Rigg (Lyriq Bent) from Saw II, who must place himself in Jigsaw's shoes in order to rescue Detective Matthews (Donnie Walhberg), who was abducted by the killer at the end of Saw II, and Forensic Hoffman (Costas Mandylor from Saw III), from another elaborate murder device. Meanwhile, FBI agents led by Scott Patterson (Gilmore Girls, Aliens in America) attempt to track Rigg as he carries out Jigsaw's horrific notion of justice from beyond the grave. Casual horror fans may find the endless puzzles and relentless nihilism of the Saw series wearing thin with this fourth entry, but the franchise's key selling points--the Sadean excesses of Jigsaw's macabre creations--remain as bloody and unsettling as ever. --Paul Gaita
Saw IV (Unrated Widescreen Edition) Reviews:
Should have been Saw 3.5 
2009-11-30 - This movie really shouldn't have been a stand alone installment. It's short and really connects to Saw III. They should have made Saw III longer and added these plot lines. It's similar to Saw III in that a character watches others make decisions, and Jigsaw tries to recruit them, as you try to figure out who is helping Jigsaw. Jigsaw is not as centric as in the other films. He is in flashbacks not real time in the movie. The flashbacks show what made Jigsaw who he is, but it cuts down on the suspense. I wish that Detective Hoffman was more explained his back story is foggy at best. I swear that some of the victims that have been killed in the opening of these films have more lines then he does. Other than that a decent film with nice flash backs but they hurt the overall suspense.
this movie is good 
2009-11-25 - This movie is great. Almost all saw movies are good. The twist in this one is one of the best in any movie.
It's A Trap.

An exercise in wheel-spinning 
2009-08-18 - The Bottom Line:
A completely unnecessary film (Saw III wrapped things up pretty nicely, but the franchise is a cash cow so more keep coming) which is unbelievably transparent in its pathetic attempt to craft a continuing story out of the few loose ends that were leftover from the last installment, Saw IV could be described far better as "desperate" than "scary": the only reason to see this one is if you want to say you've seen every Saw.
1.5/4
Just keeps getting better and better!!!
2009-08-12 - All I can really say about Saw 4, it that the series just gets better and better with each new film. The film is bloody as usual, and we continue to learn new things about John "Jigsaw" Kramer with each film, and we end up being more sympathatic with the character... The film has a good pace, and keeps you guessing as usual and still continues to play with your mind. There are times, that even I get a little confused of what is going on and who is involved and why... I like this series and can't wait to see 5 and 6, even 7 when it is finally released... Oh, yes! There will be a Saw 7...
I recommend this film, but beware... there is a lot of blood and gore, especially with the unrated director's cut which i have... You have been warned!
