Reviews
Precious: Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire
Spiral feels like it was written to be a cop thriller, and then at the last minute they rebranded it as a Saw movie, like when comedies used to be branded as National Lampoon or American Pie.
It was a nice break from keeping track of the very complicated Saw timeline though, and Samuel L Jackson/Chris Rock as a father/son is fun. The killer's identity was very obvious by the halfway point though.
After its long-awaited release, <i>Spiral</i> delivers a fresh new take to the franchise, this time from Chris Rock. Like every <i>Saw</i> film before it, Spiral delivers fresh, gruesome traps for its victims. While many are seen onscreen, we are provided with flashbacks of the traps in action, which piece together bits of the film to tell the copycat killer’s purpose.
Should fans of the franchise be excited for <i>Spiral</i>? Yes! Why? There are so many potential accomplices, followers, and/or stories in the <i>Saw</i> universe to continue to feed us, and we will always be hungry.
