Just in time for the health care debate — oops, make that Halloween — comes "Saw VI," which may or not help the public option push through, but certainly gives that phrase some new, graphic, bloody meaning.
Just as the James Bond films had their pre-title sequences, so this new "Saw" begins with a quick "test" from the killer Jigsaw (Tobin Bell), who died a few films back in the series, but is seen frequently in this year's entry via flashbacks and visions. Two employees guilty of predatory lending are forced to pay for their crime of helping folks who can't repay loan go into debt. Let's just say it's gonna cost someone an arm and a leg.
Eventually the scowling Det. Hoffmann (Costas Mandylor), formerly a pursuer of Jigsaw and then an accomplice, emerges as one of the people helping to keep the dead man's demented dream alive: To force the real ghouls of society to either pay for their sins, come face to face with their impact on the world or learn to appreciate their own life.
