I never expected the Saw series to go this far but i'm glad that it is still going and is still worth watching. This Installment didn't feel like the usual Saw movie. Saw goes from a gross out series with twists and turns into a cat and mouse thriller.
I always fear seeing the next installment every year. I fear that the next one will be terrible and will ruin the whole series. Luckily this has not happened yet. Saw V wasn't the best Saw but it ranks nicely in third place in the series. Coming up behind Saw II and IV. This is my order...IV-II-V-I-III
Unlike the other sequels Saw V doesn't have blood and gore every 10 seconds. It is nicely set out apart. But when the blood and gore does come it is very graphic and makes the squeamish cringe in there seats. Saw I wasn't too big on the gore. Saw II took it to the next level and made the gorno fans cheer. Saw III took the fans need for blood and went way over the top. Saw IV went to the next level in blood but held out on the gore. Saw V showed us that the movie does not have to be blood and guts all the time to be good. None of the Saw movies ever scared me but this time i actually jumped for the first time in a Saw movie.
The acting was like every other Saw movie, Average and i don't expect it to ever reach Oscar worthy in a Saw movie. Tobin Bell was good like always. Costas Mandylor and Scott Patterson did good jobs also. I always know the plot of every Saw movie. It's always the usual, people get put in traps and have to get out alive. But there is always the main plot in every movie. After the events in Saw IV, Detective Hoffman goes on a hunt to eliminate all loose ends. Special Agent Strahm suspects Hoffman and goes on a hunt to find out his secret. This doesn't seem like it can fill up a whole 90 minutes but like always we get answers to questions from other movies through flashbacks. As well as new questions to keep you excited till the next installment.
The Saw series feels like a TV show. You just can't wait till the next episode to see what happens next. Saw V felt like a lead up to the big finale where all the Sh*t will hit the fan. I just hope Saw VI will wrap up the series in a major twist. If this doesn't happen then the entire series will feel like a waste of time. See Saw V if your a fan of the series. You know you want to. I'm counting down the days till Saw VI. But while i'm waiting i'll give you my rating....
7/10
