A police detective is called to the scene of a gruesome crime scene and finds that his name is written on the ceiling as a taunt. He has a hunch who the killer might be and finds a clue to his possible location. After storming the location, he quickly finds that his hunch was correct as Jigsaw (the heinous criminal from the first film) is waiting for him. The capture of Jigsaw proves to be too easy as the police detective finds himself at the center of one of his diabolical games; with his son as the pawn.
This is an example of a great sequel. The premise is the same; people who aren't fully appreciative of their lives (according to Jigsaw) are thrust into "games" that will test the limits of what they will do to keep on living. However, the people and the various games are very different as is the fact that Jigsaw is in custody the entire time everything is happening. Like the original, the ending is completely unexpected and makes you want to watch it again to see if you can find clues along the way. The people who created this film are very creative and have great minds to develop all the crazy games and plot twists that made this film exciting to watch. I wouldn't mind if Saw III was in the works.
