From the humble beginnings of two guys trapped in a bathroom has emerged this wonderfully woven story about rebirth and a man's unique philosophy on life. This installment not only adds to the ongoing story of John Kramer (Tobin Bell) and how he became Jigsaw, but also offers a deeper perspective on life itself. This time, however, we are following the parallel journey of SWAT Commander Rigg (Lyrig Bent) as his own lessons unfold.

Set at the same time as the events of Saw III, one of the last officers standing becomes another of Jigsaw's many "students". However, unlike many of the people before him, Rigg must come to not only understand the value of his own life, but also understand the true nature of Jigsaw's games. Will he fail, or will he discover what, in Jigsaw's eyes, it means to truly "save a life?"

The great visual effects and thrilling story will hold the only interest for many, but will also stand aside for others who wish to think about the themes of this thought provoking subject matter. Everyone who has enjoyed the other Saw films is bound to enjoy this one as well. As for everyone else, go ahead and catch up before watching this installment. For if you do, you will have a much greater chance of "Seeing what I see."

Do or don't. It's your choice. ...Let the games continue.
