50Hackl weaves scenes from the previous films into this one in clever ways, without adding to the confusion. The director also does a good job of maintaining the dark tone, which includes FBI offices that look as if they're being illuminated by night-lights, and dungeons that look as if you'd catch a venereal disease or two just by touching the door handles.
-
The production values have become so horror-movie shoddy that Saw V has more in common with kitsch like "Friday the 13th Part V" than the original "Saw."
-
40This is easily the smallest-scale of the sequels, and it has the feeling of a massively shrunken budget.
-
40The method to the madness of the traps turns out to be quite clever, but the rewriting of Saw mythology is the slasher equivalent of revising Star Wars so that Greedo fires at Han Solo first.
-
38It's cheap, sloppy, and too jumbled up to know what it should be.
-
30Truly, the greatest torture of all is boredom.
-
25Saw V is a terrible combination: grisly and tedious. Let's just call it bloody dull.
-
25Devotes so much time and energy to flashbacks and recycling footage from its predecessors that it threatens to implode.
-
20By-the-numbers retread.
-
20This year's installment is as disappointing as a Halloween bag filled with nothing but raisins.
-
12Oh, Jigsaw. Here we go again. You kill. I doze off. Someone at the studio goes "ka-ching!"
-
A particularly dull and discombobulated affair, shot and acted with all the flair of a basic-cable procedural. Patterson and Mandylor are so wooden that their cat-and-mouse game has all the excitement of watching dust bunnies swirl in an air current.
-
10Skips back and forth in time, trying to piece together who did what, when and why. The only question really worth asking here: Who cares?
