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.

What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
Saw V is a terrible combination: grisly and tedious. Let's just call it bloody dull.
New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
This year's installment is as disappointing as a Halloween bag filled with nothing but raisins.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
By-the-numbers retread.
Austin Chronicle by Marc Savlov
Truly, the greatest torture of all is boredom.
The New York Times by Nathan Lee
Skips back and forth in time, trying to piece together who did what, when and why. The only question really worth asking here: Who cares?
Devotes so much time and energy to flashbacks and recycling footage from its predecessors that it threatens to implode.
