‘Spiral’ movie review: ‘Saw’ reboot rapidly devolves into silliness

I am not very fond of horror movies and most definitely not that splatter fest sub-genre of torture porn. However, the chance of watching Samuel L. Jackson play Chris Rock’s father was too delicious an opportunity to pass up. The ninth instalment of the Saw franchise has series regulars including director Darren Lynn Bousman, who helmed three other Saw movies, and Kevin Greutert, who edited and directed Saw movies, as executive producer with James Wan, Leigh Whannell and Chris Rock. Spiral Director: Darren Lynn Bousman Cast: Chris Rock, Max Minghella, Marisol Nichols, Samuel L. Jackson Story line: Cops are being killed in a variety of grisly ways and it is up to a loose cannon detective to find the killer Run time: 93 minutes Detective Zeke, the son of the former police chief, Marcus is disgusted by the corruption in the police department and marches to his own drum. When the police captain Angie Garza assigns a rookie cop, Schenk, to be Zeke’s partner in the investigation, he is properly annoyed.
