Juju eyeballs11/3/2023 ![]() ![]() Thankfully, Saw X is well written and I can’t believe it’s taken nine movies for us to get a John Kramer story. These movies couldn’t be further apart in quality. Spiral on the other hand was like watching fanfic and the dialogue was just how many times Chris Rock could say “fuck” on screen. Jigsaw gave us a more mellow approach to the usual fast-paced chaotic storylines of Saw films while delivering some creative kills. When I saw that the writers for Saw X were also responsible for Jigsaw and Spiral, I went into this screening with minimal expectations because while I loved Jigsaw, I hate Spiral to a degree that proves I might need anger management therapy. Normally I don’t pay attention to writers, and in part that’s because the main focus with any movie is always on the cast and the director, but since Covid and being burned by movies like Host and Dashcam, I’ve started to pay more attention. With the help of Amanda and Detective Hoffman, he manages to put a new game together specifically for this team. Sounds too good to be true right? Every person he meets in Mexico is part of a giant scam to rob dying people of their money and John isn’t about to let them get away with it. ![]() John looks it all up online and receives a call from Doctor Pederson (Synnøve Macody Lund) letting him know the next test group is in three months, but with John not having that kind of time left, Doc lets him know the treatment can be done in Mexico next week and they will cover everything from airport pickup to giving him a place to stay. He gives John the name of the doctor and wishes him the best of luck. One day while enjoying some fresh air and designing new traps, he runs into fellow cancer patient Henry (who he met in a therapy group) who is in remission thanks to an experimental cancer treatment in Norway. John Kramer’s cancer has progressed and he only has a few months left. Saw X takes place between Saw 1 and Saw 2. Photo Credit: Alexandro Bolaños Escamilla
