Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

adonis98-743-186503 Following Jigsaw's grisly demise, Mark Hoffman is commended as a hero, but Agent Strahm is suspicious, and delves into Hoffman's past. Meanwhile, another group of people are put through a series of gruesome tests. Saw V once again feels like the same bad film than most of the Saw installments were plus i haven't seen a worse ending in my entire life than this. This franchise loves to kill the hero and it knows it and unfortunately it also kills any excitement for me to actually enjoy this movies as well. Skip Saw 5 by any way as possible as you can. (0/10)

jtindahouse I waiting for 'Saw V' to come out and reading the tagline "you won't believe how it ends". Now this was a piece of marketing genius. For a series that was already synonymous with twist endings (and incredibly good ones at that) to be claiming that on this occasion you won't believe what you're seeing, that's got to get you licking your lips. The downside of making that claim though is that you have to live up to it. So did it manage to? Not in your life. In fact it had the weakest ending of the entire series disappointingly.The other problem with this movie is that the story is nowhere near as riveting as other editions in the series. It's all very choppy and never feels like it gets into a rhythm. Also the concept behind some of the traps the group of 5 face don't entirely make sense. There was a bit of laziness in the writing of these.The strength the film possesses is the brutality. There are at least two scenes that are genuinely hard to watch and are very effective. The dialogue is also exquisitely written as it is in every 'Saw' movie. You'd probably have to say this is the weakest edition in the series, however it is still far from being a bad film.

Rickting Saw V is a bunch of redundant flashbacks combined with a thoroughly boring main test scenario while an FBI agent investigates Jigsaw's new apprentice. That's all this is. This time, there isn't even an amazing twist-ending to satisfy the viewer. S5 is a pretty painful experience on the whole. It's a horror film with less bite than a toothless puppy and, despite being a horror film, virtually no horror at all. The violence is extremely weak and unscary and this doesn't even earn its 18 certificate. The direction is bland, the acting is unbearable and the script has no surprises, no scares and no entertainment of any kind. Saw 3 and 4 may have been bad, but at least some of the stuff going on outside of the traps was interesting. Here, while there are occasional interesting moments and a good scene involving Jigsaw and Hoffman, a deeply boring investigation plot and various pointless flashbacks of Jigsaw and his apprentice setting up traps are all there is to distract from the atrocious main scenario. This one reeks of the writers having completely run out of ideas and this absolutely lacks any kind of oomph. Since the plot is so bad they could have at least did the fans a service and made the traps interesting, but even that aspect of the film is sorely lacking. A bomb.3/10

jacobjohntaylor1 This movie is awful. There is Short film based on the first Saw movie. Saw the short film from 2003 is a good movie. It is very scary. It is 1000099999999999 time better then this crap. Saw (2004) is better movie and that was awful. Saw II is a better movie and that was awful. Saw III is a better movie and that was awful. Saw IV is a better movie and that was awful. This movie has an awful story line. It is badly edited. There are dead bodies in two places at the same time. The ending is awful. This movie is an overrated pile of pooh. Do not wast your time. Do not wast your money. Do see this movie. It is not scary. It just stupid.
