12 Dumbest Movie Plot Twists Of 2017

7. Logan Is The New Apprentice - Jigsaw

The Twist: Forensic pathologist Logan (Matt Passmore), thought to have been killed in Jigsaw's final trap moments earlier, stands up, revealing himself to be the original Jigsaw apprentice from a decade ago, who is only now stepping up to continue his work (for some reason).

Why It's Dumb: Though the timeline twist (that most of the movie was secretly set 10 years earlier) was incredibly unimaginative, the final big reveal of the new apprentice trumped it in the lazy, old-hat, recycled cliched plot twist stakes.

For starters, the "one more apprentice!" reveal just reeks of desperation to keep the franchise going, basically rehashing Saw IV's twist to diminished returns.

It's hard to believe Logan would just sit around doing nothing for ten years, and above all else, Logan's possibly an even less interesting apprentice than Detective Hoffman was. Terrible.
