Our Review
“Jigsaw” serves as a refreshing addition to the long-running ‘Saw’ series. Tobin Bell’s ever-present aura keeps fans engaged and provides a sinister sense of nostalgia. The traps are innovatively grisly, and the movie attempts to breathe fresh life into the franchise’s lore. While some may argue that it doesn’t reach the heights of its earlier entries, “Jigsaw” certainly holds its own and offers a blood-soaked rollercoaster for both newcomers and dedicated fans alike.
