Review of Saw V (2008) by Little D — 14 Oct 2013

Saw reached the point were the ideas have ran out and relies on plots from the previous movies, so what we see in Saw V is not a continuation of the story. but just a shit-load of flashbacks that only makes the story more hard to follow.

I mean, Hoffman was also there the whole time? This is getting really convulted. The torture devices aren't even interesting here, the Pendulum was kind of clever, but the others felt like outdated versions of any kind of devices.

Tobin Bell still delivers as Jigsaw, but unfortunately he's the only character that has interesting dialogue, the others just say stupid things, and to make it worse, they can't act. Overall, this is a tedious, tired, outdated and unnecessary sequel to a series that should have ended two movies ago.

At this point, the saga was only 4 years old and it already felt it had run its course.
