Story:
Michael, a police informant, awakens to find two halves of a spike-filled mask locked around his neck. A videotape informs him that the he must use a scalpel to retrieve the key to his trap behind his right eye; he fails to do so and the mask closes around his head. Detective Eric Matthews is called to the scene after a message for him is found. Later, he follows a SWAT team led by Officer Rigg and Detective Kerry to an abandoned steel factory, where they find John Kramer, weakened by cancer. Computer monitors show that eight people are trapped in a large house: among them are Daniel Matthews, his son, and Amanda, Jigsaw's only known survivor. The victims have two hours before the nerve agent filling the house kills them, but John promises Matthews that he will find his son safely if he talks with John for a while, which Matthews reluctantly agrees to in order to buy time for the tech team.
The eight victims are told that antidotes can be found around the house to save them from the gas. Gus is shot dead by a booby-trapped door via a gun through the eye-hole. The search continues to the basement, where the group learns that one of them, Obi, was an accessory to the kidnappings; he had kidnapped Laura. Obi is burned alive when he accidentally activates a furnace trap while attempting to retrieve two antidotes. Jonas then leads them to a door, which Xavier and Addison are attempting to break through. In the room is a pit filled with thousands of needles and syringes; a key to an antidote is hidden within. The trap is intended for Xavier, but he throws Amanda into the pit instead; she retrieves the key, but Xavier fails to unlock the door in time. Frustrated with the group's lack of success, he abandons the others.
Meanwhile, John makes seemingly idle conversation with Matthews, eventually explaining his story. When the tech team arrives, John further reveals to Matthews that the seven victims aside from Daniel are criminals that Matthews himself framed for various crimes; should Daniel's identity be discovered, he will be in great danger.
Xavier returns to the first room, which contains a safe housing an antidote, and discovers a colored number on Gus's neck; he connects this to their first clue and realizes that one colored number is on the neck of each victim. He subsequently kills Jonas, then begins searching for the other victims. In another area of the house, Laura finally succumbs to the nerve agent and Amanda and Addison learn of Daniel's identity. They both abandon him, but Amanda quickly returns when she discovers Xavier advancing on them. Meanwhile, Addison finds an antidote in a glass box with arm sockets lined with razor blades, which her wrists get trapped in; Xavier finds her, reads her number and leaves her to die. Daniel and Amanda retreat to the first room, where they discover an underground tunnel that leads to the bathroom of the first film. Daniel collapses upon entering. When Xavier arrives, Amanda points out that he cannot read his own number; he cuts off a piece of skin from the back of his neck, then advances on the two, upon which Daniel attacks and slits his neck with a hacksaw, having only feigned collapse.
After seeing Xavier chase Daniel and Amanda, Matthews forces John to take him to the house at gunpoint. The section that John was sitting in is revealed to be a lift, allowing him and Matthews to escape. Simultaneously, the SWAT team follows the signal of the video feed to another house, which contains VCRs playing back previously recorded images of the eight victims; Kerry realizes that the events of the house took place before the factory raid. Matthews enters the house and eventually reaches the bathroom, where he is attacked by a pig-masked figure. The two-hour timer expires in John's lair and a large safe opens, revealing Daniel breathing into an oxygen mask. Upon awakening, Matthews finds himself chained by the ankle to the pipes; a tape recorder left by Amanda reveals that she is John's protegé. She appears in the doorway and seals the door to the bathroom, leaving Matthews to die.

The second movie of Saw series is definitely much more better than the first one. More victim involve but the gruesome level is not as good as the first movie. I specially love the part when at the end they found out the whole cctv things is just a pre-record video, which i find it is amazing of this idea... And Amanda strike back to do the stuff for is Jigsaw is also unpredictable~
Hopefully i managed to finish all these before the 3D version come on the big screen soon :)
