The XAVIER character was a horrible idea


As I rewatch this again..... I hate the lane Hispanic steroid loser every time.
Plus the actor was AWFUL!!!

Awful writing for this sequel that does not hold up in 2016.

Brutal. Lane. Laughable.

God I hate him & his concept.

Imagine this movie with a B level cast & a bigger budget with a better script.

I thought Franky G as Xavier did a good job. A good macho villain with no morals, angry and threatening, thinking that his muscles could make him control anyone. He was pretty badass and the actor was good.

I think you're supposed to hate him. My only complaint about the character is I thought he deserved a worse death. It would have been more satisfying for the audience to have him die a slow death by one of Jigsaw's traps.

Decided to rewatch the Saw movie series recently and loved this over the top character.

Love the part when he realises he has to fish through a pit of syringes for a key.. he thinks for a second then says "Someone's going in!" Whilst frantically scanning the room like a madman, then just grabs Amanda out of nowhere and chucks her in there whilst the whole group look at him like he's gone absolutely nuts.. my partner and I laughed for about 10 minutes at this part, was unintentional comedy gold! 😂😂
