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.

Jordan Crucchiola

New York Magazine/Vulture

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.

Rated: 1/4

Deep Focus Review

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

Rated: 1.5/4

Flickering Myth

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.

Rated: 2/5

It was the perfect combination of Intense, terrifying and on the edge of your seats type of Movie! I Love it! Blood, Guts and Gore, the perfect combination of a horror movie! If you've never seen a Saw movie before, don't start now start from the beginning and then continue! If you thought this movie was terrible, then why did you even bother seeing it, because you should have known from the start exactly what type of movie this was, and it was very good! Sorry for the late review!

Even though i was still super interested in the main storyline, the games played by the five strangers wasn't all that entertaining to me.

Damn, This movie was incredible no matter what you’re not surviving jigsaw or wanna be jigsaw😂😂.. even if you do survive, don’t worry he’s coming for you no matter what… Also, I really had faith for special agent, Peter, but he just got fooled But that ending scene Was a way to end the movie great escape plan. I will say this is one of the reasons why this movie series is so good because of how much it relapses into the other movies No movies do that nowadays
