we watched spiral earlier and good god what a shitshow! i'd say this would be more enjoyable if you watched 0 of the other saw movies but idk if theres anything enjoyable about chris rock playing a misogynist cop and being actively praised for being "the only good one/the best of the best" just because everyone else in his precinct is so much worse in comparison

#talking #already thoughtdumped about this one on twitter but i might post screenshots here just because. wow #you know i thought i hated jigsaw. but this movie. god. this movie made that one seem on par w the original 7 films #but i will say this felt less like a saw movie and more like chris rock writing a saw movie from memory #and im not quite sure how to describe zeke other than he gave me 'self insert' vibes #oh yeah and i think saw could benefit from a horror/comedy entry but the comedy in this was just. bad?#the humour either falls completely flat or just. doesnt work. or is way too meanspirited #esp when they try to make Corrupt Police commentary but it doesnt fucking work on its own #bc its the cops making those jabs as if to be self aware #but the movie isnt self aware enough to recognize how zeke contributes too #and boy does he contribute #they act like him ratting out a fellow cop and getting mistreated by the precinct for years after made him immune to corruption
