Fargo-5/10 Tonally inconsistent, not very funny. Story doesn't really go anywhere. Gonna see if I like the TV show any better. Massively overrated movie.

Jigsaw-7/10 I might be a bit nice giving this a 7. Might deserve more of a 6.5. I love the first 3 Saw movies. The four that followed....not so much. I will say that this movie is probably the best since the original 3, but it is still nowhere near being in their league.

A couple things to say:
1. The look and feel of this movie is very different to the other 7 which had a pretty consistent visual look. Everything is very spotless and clean looking, perhaps matching the look of low-budget movies of this decade. But it's glaring since the last 7 were very dirty and grungey. The other thing is that there are a LOT of exterior shots in this, something that the originals never did which led to their style which I quite frankly loved. It gave mystery to where you were exactly. This movie demystifies that and it doesn't feel like Saw sometimes.
2. The twists are a mixed bag in this. There are a series of them. Without spoiling, the first one makes you think something specific is happening. And I personally loved the twist no matter how ridiculous. But then another twist occurs which essentially erases the first, and it ticked me off.

I don't really know where they will go with the series after this one. It just feels like it has run its course, and with each new installment since Jigsaw's death....more inconsistencies in the narrative arise and it gets a little more ridiculous every time with how many plot details they keep adding that supposedly happened before the first Saw movie. If you watched the first Saw, you'll know that it was a pretty tight narrative and gave us a concise view of what Jigsaw had been up to before the Bathroom game. Each movie since Saw 3 muddles that. This movie feels very standalone which can be enjoyable at times but in the context of a franchise that has been dormant for 7 years, it's not good.
