Two detectives become entangled during investigations into ongoing occurrences of what seem to be the Jigsaw murders. Before i saw this i had heard a heap of negative commentary and while watching through Saw V it became apparent that it was pretty much all true! I realised after watching this movie that it had none of the intelligent plot and script of the first couple and had none of the amazing gore and ingenious murdering contraptions of the latter Saw films. What was left over was a dabble of predictable crime drama that would look right at home in any CSI type crime/drama series. It was peppered throughout with a few bits and pieces of gore which just, and only JUST kept you watching enough to not get completely bored out of your mind. Although unlike previous Saw films the imagination and down right evilness of the contraptions was severely lacking and came across as if they are fast running out of ideas which doesn't bode well for 'Saw VI' if it does get released at all. For me anyway i think the Saw series has gone way past its used by date and in my mind has consistently gotten worse since the amazing Saw I. Give this is a watch if your bored on a rainy day and you feel like wasting some time and perhaps some money on a rental.
Pros - As usual a tad of blood and gore and slightly interesting death contraptions, but don't expect it to be a better film than any previous ones. The acting was fairly good and seemed better coming from some of the lesser known amongst the cast but then again this isn't sufficient to make this movie even remotely good.
Cons - A complete lack of imagination in terms of death contraptions etc makes Saw V out to be an elaborate and expensive version of a CSI episode. Take away the 'thrill' and the 'horror' and you are left with Saw V sprinkled with a dash of crime and a hint of mystery... hardly the Saw that we have come to expect.
1/5 Jandals = The 6th better be good. Can't get much worseWatch the trailer for 'Saw V' Here
