    Excellent. This review did not disappoint. The movie should have been called "Downward spiral." Thanks, guys 😂

    13:04 I bursted out laughing when Chris Rock's character shouted "I want everything!" He sounded like a seven-year-old who wants candy.

    I did like how clever the old partner’s trap was. In the church AA scene, he tells Chris Rock how a glass and a bottle really hurts. The killer then decides make it literal.

    Holy crap guys! If you’re gonna be reviewing what I think you will be come the 31st, you must’ve sweated spinal fluid to get that plus all of the Saw franchise thus far out in one month! Please take a well deserved break once you’re done 🤟🏻

      Especially when you consider the fact that they can't be monetized due to using so much footage. At least I assume that.

      @aaronjustice9020 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@dominick253they can be monetized.
      It is transformative enough for TH-cam. If it was too much footage it would just be copyright claimed.
      They'd more likely have monetization issues due to covering horror flicks and gore.
      I'm thinking about donating or buying something. I usually don't but these guys have such a giant and consistent catalog and they introduced me to Sorcerer so, that's deserving.

    @cnferguson5 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    He wouldn't even have been able to remain on the force for telling on another fellow cop. If a cop breaks the "blue codes," they get constantly harassed, assigned to dangerous places, other cops will pull them over and ticket them, and it just becomes so stressful they have to quit. Or they'll find a reason to fire you. However some have even ended up dead depending on the circumstances. That's what happens to the good cops out there.

  • @allencampbell3350

  • @SilvaF0X
    @SilvaF0X 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    In regards to the cop who takes off and never comes back, I have a theory he was in a trap towards the 3rd act when Sam Jackson is walking through the warehouse. There's a cut where he looks clean then cuts to a different looking location and he's got someone's blood on him. I think that cop who left was in a trap to distract Jackson before he's knocked out

  • @SilvaF0X
    @SilvaF0X 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    My honest favourite part of this movie was when Chris Rock grabs the flowers and shuts the door on his partner like "the fuck out of here" I laughed so hard the first time I saw it just cuz I was looking for anything to enjoy

    Great review again guys. Even though I really enjoyed Spiral, a lot of your criticisms are on point - they just didn't bother me too much.
    I thought Chris Rock got better as the movie progressed , but for the first 30 minutes he was just playing himself. But my biggest issue was Spiral's voice.
    As soon as Zeke's new partner turned up, I immediately connected his wimpy voice to the one on the tape. And of course they should have created a better looking puppet.
    Despite all that, I had a great time with this one, and thought this was a direction they should have followed up on. The traps were meant to teach an object lesson to the people finding the aftermath, not the poor shmucks who were doomed from the moment they woke up 😀
    A Spiral franchise would have opened all sorts of possibilities.as the emphasis was on changing the system. We could have ended up with a scenario like the latest Batman movie, where Spiral just decides to destroy everything as its too far gone to be reformed.
    Anyway, before I end up writing a bloody thesis, I hope you review Saw X.
    I initially hated the fact that they fell back on to the original timeline as a safe option, but boy did they prove me wrong! Saw X has received universal praise from lovers of the franchise, and for good reason...

  • @SchulzEricT
    @SchulzEricT 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I'm not defending "Spiral", but some of y'all's criticisms seem to really miss the point.
    1 - Cops are that bad, that's not exaggerated, that's not over-the-top. Cops holding a grudge against another cop 12 years after he turned in his corrupt partner? The only unrealistic thing about that is that the good cop would still be on the force 12 years later.
    2 - He's not jigsaw, why are you so mad that he didn't give his victims a chance like jigsaw would've? That was jigsaw's style; the new guy was all about punishing corrupt cops... you know, because a corrupt cop murdered his father in front of him? Kinda makes sense he'd be more brutal even than jigsaw.

  • @G_Elektrik
    @G_Elektrik 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    While this started with good intentions and served to bring back the franchise after 4 years, they made all the wrong decisions, and misunderstood the concept of saw, with a super basic script, and no proper performances or a true attachment to the saw series

    • @Lazrael32
      @Lazrael32 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      i mean it's the main reason we didn't get a proper saw movie after jigsaw. so it served to keep saw away.

  • @leopoldmolitch4040
    @leopoldmolitch4040 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Call me crazy....never 'saw' the flick....from this review, I kept waiting for Chris Rock to say a punchline. Comedy to horror is a hard line to cross in one step. Drama is the intermediary

    • @kramalerav
      @kramalerav 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      *”Comedy and horror is a hard line to cross in one step.”*
      Comedy and horror are opposite sides of the same coin. So when done right, it works great. With comedy, you have a punchline. With horror, you have a payoff which serves as a sort of punchline whether that be a jump scare or some other reveal.
      A Two Sentence Horror is like the inversion of a joke. And it could also easily be made fun of with a joke with a follow up quip.

    Without a doubt, the black sheep of the series. Chris Rock was one of the biggest problems. Putting him (a stand up comedian) in a serious horror film, is like putting Jim Carry in a Law & Order episode. I didn't find Chris Rock that believable in the role. The killer was too obvious, the acting from the others were "ok," but over all, a real bland movie. Skip it and ignore it,
