Got to agree with Bo Ziffer, this one was the last one I’ve seen and it was awful. It was the worst kind of bad: laughably bad. I spent most of the movie wondering if Jigsaw and his apprentices rented a flatbed truck to move their enormous torture chair with the female victim attached to Rigg’s apartment. Did they need to use the service elevator to get in in there? Why don’t the cops just watch the video that was left in Rigg’s apartment to figure out what was going on? These were the things that ran through my mind during this thing. Wow….ok, yesterday I was in total disagreement with you Alex but clearly tonight you weren’t lazy…thank you for addressing all the great things about this movie…after your review of 3 I thought for sure I was in for another night of reading how my favorite of the 5 was miserable for you. I’m glad you had fun with this one. I was definately hoping Matthews would go into berzerker mode one last time and I thought Strahm was the best character in the series….oh and for a saw-like twist to my entry tonight I will tell you that I will prolly be agreeing with you again tomorrow, there were parts to 5 i loved but sadly it was a very weak story. This was a limply plotted, totally unconvincing, plot-hole-filled, unnecessary addition to the franchise. It was absolutely horrible, and definitely falls more into “torture porn” then Saw 3. How did the writer on this series fail to mention the autopsy scene? Or the convoluted, pointless, flashback-within-flashback scenes? It adds nothing to the Jigsaw mythology except a really cheesy raison d’etre for him being mad at the world and a stupid and whiny villain - “Awwww, man, YOU ARE SO DEAD!!!!” The twist at the end is absolutely risible. I do not understand how anyone can possibly enjoy this movie, coming from someone who did enjoy 1-3.
