Directed by: Kevin Greutert
Cast: Tobin Bell, Shawnee Smith, Synnove Macody Lund
Time: 118 minutes
John Kramer has advanced brain cancer,
and he is told by doctors that he only has a few months to live. He then learns,
from a fellow support group attendee, that there is an experimental Norwegian
treatment that may be able to cure him from his medical death sentence. Kramer
travels to Mexico to take part, but he finds out after the fact that it was all
a scam. Out for revenge, Kramer sets up a deadly game, with the help of his
assistant Amanda, for the people involved in swindling him.
This film serves as more of a prequel to the original, and it is clearly the best movie of the franchise. They got it right. Here, the focus is clearly on the John Kramer character, as it should have been from the start. Tobin Bell offers quite the performance, and the movie has a lot more depth than the first nine. It is more than blood and guts, there is a story here, and it is a compelling one.
