Leaving off where the the previous film ended, Hoffman is still alive and furious with Jigsaw's widow Jill for setting him in the reverse-beartrap headpiece and leaving him to die (only he managed to escape by mutilating his face instead), he spends most of the film chasing after Jill and trying to get to her for revenge despite her being in police custody.
Meanwhile, another Jigsaw game is being played, this time with a self-help guru named Bobby Dagen who has made his living off pretending to be a Jigsaw survivor and traveling all over speaking about how he overcame his fears and fought for his survival. While his story is inspiring, none of it is true - him and a few friends, who are now his PR publicist and manager, came up with the idea after hearing a Jigsaw survivor share their story on the local news. In his game he has to overcome several traps in order to save his friends and eventually his wife as well as himself - the final test being the so-called trap he claimed to have survived previously (which was made to his claimed specifications).
Will Bobby be able to really survive Jigsaw's game? Will Hoffman get to Jill before he is ultimately stopped?
Despite this being the supposed last chapter of the Saw franchise, the ending was pretty lame, as it wasn't completely resolved and felt open ended in case they ever wanted to revisit the franchise. They did keep to their word though - as it was originally stated there would be 7 Saw films in the series. Just many like myself wish we were given more closure for sticking it out and enduring all 7 of them!
If you've seen all the Saw films up to this point you might want to check it out just to say you saw the whole series and see how they finally ended things. If you never got into the series or gave up watching several movies, feel free to skip this one!
