Crhis Rock wants to restart the so-called "Chainsaw" concept thriller film series in "Chainsaw 9" (this series began with the first film in 2004, and the adaptation of the James Wanseries thriller novel). It should be said that Rock's admirable ability to control American cartoon characters makes the "Chainsaw" series remarkable. At the same time, the horror stories and emotional entanglement settings are also one of the highlights of the series. Since then, the joining of Samuel L. Jackson and Darren Lynn Bousman also escorted the quality of the film. What a pity. . . Maybe, but, maybe. . . . . That spring set the bar a bit high for thrillers. . .
Read the story for yourself (add a little more difficulty)
As always, “Spiral” opens with a trap. A cop sees a man snatch a purse from a woman and chases him into a tunnel, where he's soon fainted. He wakes up in a contraption obviously inspired by the now-deceased Jigsaw Killer, a man claiming never actually murdered anyone... then, tragic happens... He's informed by a figure in a pig costume ("Pigsaw"?) that the train will be there in two minutes and turn him into mush. He can literally pull himself free from the device, severing his tongue, but saving his life.
Detective Zeke Banks (Rock) and his new partner get the case, quickly learning that there's a Jigsaw copycat then. It turns out that Banks isn't so popular in his own department due to some internal affairs issues in the past. The killer then tried to do something via Zeke's corrupt fellow officers. Like most of the movie, the traps are more like contractual requirements, rarely creative in design or theme.
The problem with "Chainsaw 9" is the lines: this time, classmate Rock intends to imitate the police movies of the 1980s, to create a feeling similar to the edge police, and add some comedy and funny things in it. . . Uh. . . This is a bit out of tune with his new partner 's Intense style. . . New partner Bousman doesn't quite know how to create tension, which doesn't add to the icing on the cake for Rock. . . . As one critic put it: "It's a film that opens with a man being turned into a bloody water balloon and stays at about that level throughout, even as it's reaching its incredibly predictable and dull final reveals. Listen, no one needs a “Saw” movie to be completely logically sound, but at least don't treat your viewers like idiots, and this movie fails that test. In fact, it might have been better if the twists here were even more off the rails.
It's okay to watch a popcorn movie. . . .
PS The villain male No. 1 turned out to be the blue friend Nick of Sister June in The Handmaid's Tale ╮(￣▽￣"")╭ It seems to be red
