Saw II (2005)

Synopsis: The son of a detective is locked up along with several other people in a house. The air system feeds poisonous gas into the building, giving the people two hours to live. The keys to the doors are hidden around the place, and inside a vault. A recording provides some clues that will help them get to the keys. Meanhwhile, the police interrogates a man who claims to be responsible for the kidnapping and imprisonment of those people.
Appraisal: There was no need for a sequel to the overrated 'Saw', let alone an uninspired one, as is the case. As with many other sequels, its plot is highly derivative from the first film; also, it doesn't make much sense much of the time, in terms of character behavior. It all amounts to gratuitous gruesomeness, without suspense or credibility.
Rating: 8
