Admittedly I saw the end of Saw 6 while I worked at the cinema, but, if you can't see were Saw's narrative structure leads then you've obviously not seen many films...
So the legacy of Jigsaw's morally grey-area murders continues, now with two equally sick minded practitioners attempting to continue it. Jigsaw's widow, intent on finishing his dying wishes, and a corrupt cop who we met in the previous instalments.
While Saw 6 most definitely feels like the franchise is running out of steam, especially with Jigsaw's insane ability to predict several people's motives over a lengthy time frame (months, years?). They did establish, very briefly, that that is what he does... but... there's a limit being breached now.
But unlike some of the previous Saw films, six at least tries to make you feel some connection with the victims, this time Jigsaw's medical insurance company who had unfairly judged the man himself (while he was alive, of course). What bothers me is... why didn't Jigsaw go after these people first??
Otherwise, yeah people die bloody deaths etc, it looks and acts the same as the previous films, and I am just waiting for the day I run out Saws to watch.
