Kritik zu "Saw 4"

Da der Film letzte Woche in den amerikanischen Kinos startete, kann man sich nicht mehr vor Kritiken retten. Und die Kritiken sind sogar erstaunlich gut.
Wer hätte das gedacht, nach dem eher schwachen dritten Teil, sind die Kritiken zu "Saw 4" erstaunlich gut. So auch die Kritik von ShockTillYouDrop. 7/10 Punkte wurden vergeben.

So schreibt STYD: [..] This story moves at the speed of a freight train. I've seen the film twice now and have still missed references to its predecessors. Director Bousman (who can do one of these blindfolded now) and writers Dunstan and Melton have trimmed any excess story fat. If I wasn't paying attention to the flurry of information being thrown at me, there was risk of falling behind or being caught beneath the wheels. Even Jigsaw actor Tobin Bell appears listless, maybe consciously aware that he has become absorbed by a suffocating plot. Only when he segues into revenge mode does Bell chew the scenery.

The diabolical devices the fans crave have their highs and lows - a scalping contraption ranks as one of the better scenes. All shed copious amounts of blood right down to the rousing finale. And that's what we go to the "Saw" films for, right? For the mystery, the forward progression - to know what's going to happen next and how - oh, and the funky flesh-rending traps. Based on that, "Saw IV" satisfies. If there were ever a sequel truly for the fans, this mind-bending chapter is it.

Walking away from its conclusion (which I'm not allowed to comment on), one thing dawned on me: The series has come a long way from a simple story about two chained dudes in a bathroom and a killer named Jigsaw who wanted to send a message. That message thrives in "Saw IV" (without it, the films are nothing), but Jigsaw is becoming more than just a man and his message has a wider reach than we initially thought (hell, I half expect the Twisted team to give him a Jesus-like resurrection in "Saw V"). The question is, how many more films are you willing to commit yourself to before true closure is reached? Make time for characters I can empathize with, other than a now dead man, and I'll make time to see where this is all heading.[..]
