Atom User Reviews for Spiral: SAW
Could’ve been better. It’s obvious who has been behind it the whole time. Focused too much on the Det. Banks’ mental state. The games went against everything Jigsaw stood for, the victims never stood a chance. The traps were new though.
At no point was I entirely engrossed in the film or on the edge of my seat wondering what the next clue will be. This seems like a cash grab, something they threw together with Chris Rock as the big name because they knew it would draw in viewers. Decent movie, but something I could have watched at home.
I was late because my girlfriend took forever getting ready but from the part I did see it's a good movie
It was pretty good, you don't really need to see the other SAW movies to like or dislike this movie. Chris Rock wasn't bad and Samuel L Jackson was well, Samuel L Jackson. If you like this type of movie, then you will probably enjoy this.
acting is so bad.
an enjoyable movie that falls a little short more of a spinoff then a sequel to the main franchise
EASILY TOP 3 BEST SAW FILMS
This was a great movie! Chris did an amazing job!!! #SPIRAL!
Great Movie, everything lines up pretty nicely and the ending makes me hope for a sequel.
Great cast. I truly loved seeing Chris Rock in this type of movie! Love the twists!
Good movie.. not a boring or dull moment
An abrupt ending that gave me whiplash more than the original Hills Have Eyes
If you pay attention you can catch some things but if you don’t they play back some important moments.
Pretty good movie. The added comedy to the saw movie from chris Rock and Samuel is pretty good
I love this installment of the SaW Franchise. The only thing is I wonder who was helping the new Jig Saw Killer to carry out his traps?
Don’t watch it it’s a shame to the saw series
I figure out the movie way before the end and that is not what I expect from the Saw franchise
This movie has my utmost respect. 4/5 because nothing is perfect and I’m traumatized.
Being a Saw fan, this was well worth waiting for! Good job!! can't wait for the next one.
Loved the new twist on a old franchise by telling the story from the point of a police officer though it did feel like it was trying at times to be political or make a political statement by saying a lot of police officers are dirty or guilty of bad things when the truth is like any group their are both good and bad apples
Disliked ending
not worth watching. but a YouTube clip of Chris rock scenes would work
Really couldn’t take Chris Rock seriously. Movie was still good
This was literally murder porn
I love it very much...
Interesting addition to an epic movie franchise!
amazing movie, one of the most suspenseful saw movies.
Beautiful direction and great soundtrack
Great movie!
It was refreshing to see Chris Rock in a more serious role and the movie sets up the plot "kind of" well. It's a little predictable about half way through and the ending felt rushed, but it's a good enough movie to warrant this review.
No mention of the OG characters that’s why it’s a spin off
Chris Rock, sadly, isn’t much of an actor.
it was okay not one of the best saws
A worthy and amazing why to return to this franchise. There’s actually a plot and acting. Definitely buying when available.
AWESOME MOVIE ! Bring your snacks !
Amazingly good movie only thing that had my whole family upset was the ending. Don't get me wrong it's a great ending buy iys just one of those to where your like "Wait noooo! Don't leave us like that!?!" Literally leaves you needing to know more and what happens next. This visit good and bad. Good because you know there will be a part 2 but bad because you'll have to wait a couple years to find out what happens next. So I feel a little robbed. But overly awesome movie. Chris Rock was a great actor too. At first I was on the fence about whether he would be a good fit since he's only ever done comedy. He did pretty good though. Lol I remember thinking wow so that's what Chris Rock looks like when he's "normal and doesn't have that goofy grin on his face" 🤣 I definitely recommend this movie!
Left me wondering at the end.
I would rate this film from 1-10 and I give this movie a solid 5 out of 10. This film felt rushed and had no train of thought, most of the film was predictable and somewhat boring. This film isn’t as good as it’s predecessor film SAW. This film feels as just another prequel that was thrown to just make some profit. I’d recommend wait until it’s released on disc or rent it if u are a fan of the SAW films.
Best saw ever no cap
Not SAW but a good start to a new chapter
Spiral absolutely delivers on the Gore especially towards the Climax. Go see it. You won’t be let down
very well done
a suspense through the entire film other than the puppet voice sounded low
Could of been better but still a good time for a fan
I was very pleased with this film. Chris Rock was amazing as was the movie itself.
disappointed, some acting was not good
I enjoyed it
The audio in our theatre sucked. Also, the tickets we ordered through the app were not the seats we got. I reserved front row, got back row, corner.
Loved it Chris Rock made this movie!!! I want to watch it again
Could of been better, the acting was off
Metacritic
Spiral too often gets in its own way and reveals its internal machinations before they’re due.
It spirals downward into a ludicrous, dumbed-down horror story more concerned with grossing out the audience than in providing any compelling reason for this long-running franchise to keep chugging along, leaving a trail of blood in its wake.
Spiral makes an admirable stab at defibrillating an old franchise — but ultimately wastes its stars, caught in the same bear-trap of a formula that befell earlier sequels.
