Critic Reviews

Wesley Morris

Who knew that the franchise’s creators would eventually find a plot twist that made sense? Read full review

Stina Chyn

Conveys a much louder political message and the implementation of violence reflects as much. Read full review

Mike Hale

Warm feelings are inspired by the reappearance of old friends, even those who had their faces ripped off or their intestines ejected several films ago. Read full review

Rob Nelson

A film so frighteningly familiar it could well be called "Saw It Already." Read full review

Marc Savlov

For fans, however, Saw VI is, pardon the pun, a cut above the rest but not, sadly, by much. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

The thinnest, draggiest, and most tediously preachy of the Saw films. Read full review

Robert Abele

Terrible acting, zero suspense, laughable logic and the promise of another one next year. How can we get this policy canceled? Read full review

This is an amazing film. While they are dragging the series on, this is a great movie. It answers a lot of questions from previous installments as well as an amazing storyline that takes a stab at the failing healthcare system.

A breath of fresh air to the franchise. Certainly the one where you feel bad for the victims.

This "Saw" is topical; it makes a point about the true meaning of "exploitation", relative to the filmic sort. The gore remains the same, but here, the blood and guts are placed in a social context, which makes the latest entry in this puerile franchise, a little less pointless than the This "Saw" is topical; it makes a point about the true meaning of "exploitation", relative to the filmic sort. The gore remains the same, but here, the blood and guts are placed in a social context, which makes the latest entry in this puerile franchise, a little less pointless than the four preceeding sequels. Real horror is not two people hacking away at their own limbs and entrails in a survivor type contest; real horror is a HMO claims adjuster who says, in so many words, that your insurance policy is worthless. Erikson(Mark Rolston), who denies coverage to a dying man, supplants Jigsaw(Tobin Bell) as the real "Sicko", since the dishonest strategems of an insurance company kills far more people with its profit-based model than a serial killer ever could. Although Michael Moore, more or less, fights the good fight against the HMOs in his 2007 documentary, as is often the case, grandstanding undermines the filmmaker's advocacy, like when he takes a speedboat to the Guantanamo Bay detainment camp, in a disingenuous attempt to secure health care for his documentary subjects. Jigsaw(or John), on the other hand, couldn't be more antipodal, more low-key and self-effacing; he takes on the health maintenance organization from beyond the grave. The sadism in "Saw VI" is a little, a LITTLE more cerebral this time around, as Erickson, an arbiter of life and death, sees for himself, representationally, the after-effects of his rulings. It's hamfisted, but effective, and for some, dangerously cathartic.… Expand

By far, it's the least favorite in the franchise. Slowly each film has decayed in quality. This one had no suspense, it was very predictable. Saw is known for its twists and this one lacked that. Also, the acting was not of great quality and the "games" were not of the usual standing.

Terrible. Dumb. An insult to moviegoers everywhere. It's terribly ironic that a film talking about an unethical business was created by a business seeking to make money of cheap thrills and a dumb public who will pour money into a series that should've been "put to the test" and Terrible. Dumb. An insult to moviegoers everywhere.
