Spiral (2021)

I had high hopes for this as potentially a new beginning for the franchise. Unfortunately, poor writing and a lack of depth really let it down. The pacing was off and though Rock was ok, his lack of real acting chops showed. It's worth a look but don't expect anything special.

Fmovies: This was such a slog to get through. Chris rock's acting was way over the top and he was not believable. In fact all of the acting was pretty awful. The story was nothing special. It's as though they didn't even try to create a decent story or characters with any depth. I can't forget the continuity errors that I caught while watching. They were so obvious and distracting. It is apparent to me that the film makers didn't care about making a quality film. I did like the moodiness and certain production values which is why I gave this a 3. Other than that, I do not recommend this film.

For any franchise fans that have been around since the early 2000s, I recommend waiting for home release.

The editing from floor is either a sea of footage left out or they filmed this in under a month. The film felt like it was cut to be a 90 minute trailer of what they WANT to make a new Saw movie about. It did not allow for the basic fundamentals of cinema to be utilized in scene structuring, not enough beats. Just continuous punches. Chris Rock really channeled Rick Grimes with the camera eye stares.

Spiral fmovies. While this had some good moments and good traps and a decent storyline, this isn't anything special or new, and should have been far more superior than it was. Chris Rock was better than I expected but I still think I'd like to have seen someone else in the role. Unfortunately though this was far too predictable as it's very obvious early on who the Jigsaw copycat is. Unlike other films there wasn't much subtlely. A shame as they had an opportunity here to make something really exciting.

Why is this getting OK reviews ? The acting was horrible, the "twist" was so obvious. And why were there jump scares ? Totally misses the point.

Don't waste your time.

This was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I'm not even joking, the movie is boring, really stupid, and extremely predictable. It looks like a movie Micheal Scott could direct, it's so full of clichés that it's actually baffling that this was produced.

I kid you not the main character is the "I don't want a partner" cop character we've already seen a million times, and there's literally nothing else to his character other than that badass imagery.

Also the ending shot is hilarious.
