Spiral takes it cue from the post-main-series Jigsaw and focuses more on the police procedural elements as a copycat killer targets corruption within a police department. It is a reasonable reboot, with an acceptable central dramatic performance by Chris Rock, who was the driving force behind this take on the franchise, plotting is sound and the traps are adequate, but whilst there is nothing particularly bad about the film it does not really surprise or rise above adequate very often. Overall Spiral ends up a solid mid-ranker in the series, much better than the worst entries (4-6) but nowhere near the strongest (1-3).
