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

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

Seeing Mark Hoffman go on a spree was entertaining. His work with Jigsaw is quite an interesting story and the side plot with the 5 people stuck in the same traps and needing to overcome the situation was interesting to see.
