Saw II

With nary a decent, connective character in sight, this nasty sequel quickly becomes little more than a strenuous battle for survival among the already damned.

"...nigh. "Oh yes, there will be blood," promises Saw II’s tagline, and, for once, the tease is fulfilled …..."

Atlas Shrugged: Part II

Atlas isn't the only one to shrug off this tiresome load of Ayn Rand – but with poor production values.
