The thing that sticks out for me in this movie is that it was nice to finally find out what happened to detective Eric Mathews. Other than that....meh. The franchise may have finally lost me... With jigsaw and his apprentice out of the picture I found I really didn't care all that much anymore... I'm not sure how they'll be able to keep this going much longer... sure they can walk out apprentice after apprentice... but that'd just start to suck really quickly. I can't recommend this one.
