| .... Now on a more positive note on Scott's performance:

Hoffman has fitting opposition in Scott Patterson’s Agent Strahm. Merely nondescript wallpaper in the previous film, Patterson steps up to the plate in a big way and shows the most fight of any of the cops since Detective Tapp in the original. There’s a moment in the film when Strahm pulls out all the files of the previous Jigsaw victims as we’re taken for a trip down memory lane and it was just the kind of acknowledgment the series needed at this point. The film effectively stages a battle of good vs. evil between the two lawmen on a collision course that can only lead to disaster. If I had to pick it’s probably the weakest of the three stories in the film, but I was shocked how interested I was in it.

Apparently on this review, the only two good performers of the movie wre Costas and Scott, but doesn't rate the movie very highly:

The acting was not great at all. Besides Mandylor, Bell, Rota and Patterson performances, Heckl’s direction of everyone else was either dull or flat out annoying, as I wasn’t interested in any of those characters. That includes Julie Benz and Betsy Russell,....

Found one good review of the movie, itself:

So, at least there are a couple of critics that seemed to like the movie and/or the actors' performance -- but then again, it's a horror movie, which sets itself apart from dramas. At least the exposure was a good experience for him and they still recognize Scott from GG -- which is a win-win.
Scott's next two movies are going in the action/drama area -- 'men packin gun' -- boys will be boys, I guess. __________________ avi by revenb
