Following in the footsteps of the first movie, Saw 2 continues Jigsaws quest to make others appreciate life.
This time around though, a group of strangers and a survivor of his "games" are locked in a house where a toxin is slowly killing them. The idea reminded a lot of Cube at first, though this movie is a bit slow on the pace.
We do manage to find one character to generally root for, though the rest are just your standard cannon fodder for movies such as these. The traps are once again a bit unique, though we know what to expect this time around and it loses a bit of it's advantage from the previous.
Overall, the plot is rather bland and just a rehash of the first movie. Characters are fairly uninteresting. The only really noteworthy part that did make me cringe was the pit of used needles that one girl is tossed into and is forced to dig around. Aside from that, it's fairly passable.
