This reprise largely picks up the interesting ideas of the previous (an evil conspiracy sets up a number of death traps for various people to compete in), without doing a lot new and interesting with the idea but still playing it very much as well as possible - the various rooms are again the highlights with complicated mechanisms requiring our characters to think their way through the various problems, though I do find this time round the various new characters receive fairly light characterisations, and the ending does feel like the kind of ending that falls apart the closer you look at it. Still, it's a better Saw movie than the last three saw movies, so that's something, with a definite focus on the innocents brought into the traps rather than the trapmakers.
