Detective Hoffman is seemingly the last person alive to carry on the Jigsaw legacy. But when his secret is threatened, he must go on the hunt to eliminate all the loose ends.
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.
Saw V is a terrible combination: grisly and tedious. Let's just call it bloody dull.

By-the-numbers retread.

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.
