Hackl 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.

This is easily the smallest-scale of the sequels, and it has the feeling of a massively shrunken budget.

Mandylor and Patterson have an amazing back and forth (similar to Bell and Wahlberg in Saw 2) and it works perfectly through out the film. The traps are not scary though, Rather generic imo as well but the story behind the plot is interesting. The general plot (outside the traps) is interesting as well. What makes this film so good is Mandylor and Patterson, Its a must watch just to see the two of them go against each other.

It's cheap, sloppy, and too jumbled up to know what it should be.

Saw V is a terrible combination: grisly and tedious. Let's just call it bloody dull.

By-the-numbers retread.

Oh, 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.

Actually pretty good, Finally a film that focused more on acting then on horror. David Hackl did a wonderful job as director and its a shame he didnt do anymore films. The acting was good and the leads were great. The traps were not that scary (the final one was though) but it had a greater overall meaning then pretty much any other trap in the series. Overall it was pretty good.

One of the best trap stories so far. One of the least interesting cop stories so far.

Zamanında popüleritesi ile izlendi ama pek de iyi bir film değil. Zorlama kurgusu fazla klişe...

En general las películas de terror resultan desagradables, inapropiadas y son un tipo de contenido que debería ser prohibido y eliminado en las películas y bastantes series de televisión, y las de Saw resultan en exceso sangrientas, con escenas que deberían ser prohibidas en todo el mundo (por lo fuertes y desagradables que son), recomiendo nunca ver ni una cosa ni la otra, vean cosas buenas y agradables porque para entretenimiento hay videojuegos, competiciones, deportes, ánime, y caricaturas, de lo bueno hay mucho para elegir así que eviten basuras, nada de Saw, Chucky, etc.
