Critics Consensus

Jigsaw definitely won't win many converts to the Saw franchise, but for longtime fans, it should prove a respectably revolting -- if rarely scary -- diversion.

The fear, ever to witness such horrible fates. Your worst nightmare.

This film did not convince me entirely, because there are some facts that are still hanging in the air. The film focuses on other characters who have honestly always bothered me and who have nothing to do with the events of the previous film. In fact, the film tries to get the same attention from the spectators as the previous chapters but in vain. The plot seems to be complicated at first, but when you get to the end you understand the situation well. However, the film could have had a more delicate and decent atmosphere.

The Jigsaw well is not dry! There is definitely lots of blood, traps and really bad decision making. What's worse is the story and how it is told. There's a real plot twist but it is so far away from the immersion that I can say for myself: Saw is not there anymore!! I did watch the entire film and then I said "stupid!".

The soundtrack isn't as good as the others. The cinematography is different - totally different color grading. These films have always been farfetched and silly but this is one of the silliest. The twist just wasn't interesting. The ending sucks. I've seen all the saw films and this is perhaps the worst one other than Spiral which I couldn't even sit through.

Although it isn't the best entry in the franchise, it's nice to see Tobin Bell return as John Kramer.

Opinión honesta: Es una película "buena" con cosas rescatables como la investigación y las referencias al personaje de Jigsaw, el juego principal también es interesante pero yo me quedaría con la investigación, el soundtrack es de lo mejor de la saga Saw, especialmente los temas como "Cycle Trap" y el tema clásico de la propia saga, pero el ritmo con el que avanza la película se siente lento y puede ser llegar a ser tedioso y aburrido, en conclusión, Jigsaw es una película para pasarla bien un día cualquiera, 7/10 y mi gusto culposo, personalmente es mi 3ra película favorita de la saga Saw solo por debajo de Saw VI y Saw III

The resulting Grand Guignol will please fans, although the gore is never as groundbreaking as the drowning in pig entrails and reserve bear traps of old.

Which brings us to "Jigsaw," which fails for very much the same reasons as "The Mummy" - It was made to launch a franchise rather than because it was actually about something.

Gorehounds will get their fill, and that's about the limit of Jigsaw's appeal.

"The horror genre typically sees women as passive and helpless, the perfect victims. But when the roles are reversed, a female killer reclaims some power."
