Even on a day as fantastically slow as this one, I struggle to find the energy to care about SAW IV. I think Darren Bousman never should have agreed to return for a fourth film partly because I think he’s a talented guy wasting away on this deteriorating formula and partly because I just don’t care about the SAW universe anymore. As Tyra Banks would say, “SO. WHAT.” But I know there are some die hards among you and perhaps SAW IV details will appeal to you. Lionsgate today released an official synopsis for the film along with a full cast listing. This is what you can expect to sleep through see in SAW IV:
Jigsaw and his apprentice Amanda are dead.
Now, upon the news of Detective Kerry’s murder, two seasoned FBI profilers, Agent Strahm and Agent Perez, arrive in the terrified community to assist the veteran Detective Hoffman in sifting through Jigsaw’s latest grizzly remains and piecing together the puzzle.
However, when SWAT Commander Rigg is abducted and thrust into a game, the last officer untouched by Jigsaw has but ninety minutes to overcome a series of demented traps and save an old friend or face the deadly consequences.
Starring in the film are Tobin Bell (not so dead after all, eh Jigsaw?), Scott Patterson, Lyriq Bent, Athena Karkanis and Betsy Russell, the latter of which has an impressive display of nudity on her resume (see above). Should you care about all this, SAW IV is scheduled for release this October. Now go kick some ass on something else Bousman!
