Critics Consensus

If its plot were as interesting as its torture devices, or its violence less painful than its performances, perhaps Saw V might not feel like it was running on fumes.

There's heartwarming cooperation and redemption, but also vicious backstabbing, and it makes for the best murder-house dynamic in the franchise.

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

Even the most die-hard of Saw fans won't credit how tedious, lame and pointless this fourth sequel manages to be.

Saw V is just another dreary and pointless extension of the franchise.

1.5/4

It’s all very anonymous and detached, furthering the “torture porn” categorization of these movies.

2/5

With few of the series' blackly comedic traps and the lack of any real plot twist, Saw V is the first entry that feels truly dull.

Eles não precisam fazer um novo filme de Saw todo ano. Poderiam ter se concentrado mais em Saw VI e não ter feito este, tudo bem. É tarde demais para dizer isso, mas alguém precisava dizer.

How is he going to shake someone's hand now? The traps are better than the previous but the story is worse, the story is not at all engaging and what jigsaw does in a short time is unbelievable, he's more like an evil superhero. The main storyline with the games is the most engaging but only fills some runtime. There was too much overacting from the victims and not enough acting from the antagonists. About as entertaining as the previous although I didn't like the ending.

It's a twist that only someone who read the script would know. It's not really a twist its just drivel.
