    Saw VI is by far the second best film in the series and a very good horror film. The story isn't necessarily any different yhan the other Saw movie, but it has the best tension since the original film, it is by far one of the goriest in the series, and is fun for people who have... read more kept up with the series. The cast is just ok just like all the films, some people gave the film a great tension, and some gave it a real boring feel. The gore is just as good as past Saw films, if not better, im serious I mean the merry go round torture device was by far the coolest thing the series has had other than the original bathroom in the first film. Saw VI is a not just another Saw film, its the best since the first, and even though the first is still by far the best, this one was almost just as great.

    Okay...It's still good. But it's starting to feel like we aren't getting nowhere with the series. Once again I repeat...Killing Jigsaw so early was a big mistake. Hoffman is a great guy....But it's just not the same. Maybe it's good that the next one is the last one. We gotta mov... read moree forward. Still good though. Brutal opening scene

    As much as I hate to admit it, this movie was actually pretty good. Although we are stuck with the one dimensional and frankly boring characters (Betsy Russell, Costas Mandylor) from the other movies that we kinda wanted to die already, atleast the sixth movie does something that... read more the fifth did not and that is close some chapters that have been left open through out the entire span of the franchise that we were just waiting for. The traps were better than the last, even if the ending was kind of an anti-climax. If I hear "game over" one more time from someone who isn't Jigsaw, I may scream. Cue scream for Saw Seven. Bleh.

    Now, this is what I am talking about! Okay, let me back up a bit. After SAW V, I started to have some hope that the film series might actually turn around. A little hopeful I was when thinking about that and after the previous films, you start to feel like the writers have finall... read morey understand what works and what doesn't. With SAW VI, they return to a method that works that includes some more expansion with the universe that there is. Plus, some of the acting is a little bit better, the directing is better, and the traps are not entirely as gruesome and pathetic, but there is at least one that even I found myself applauding at. Now, my main reaction to this film was hope. That feeling I had was due to how good this film is in terms of the series. Now, let's get down to the details. As I have said, Kevin Greutert gives the series some light in that he makes the film feel like it belongs by expanding the idea of Hoffman, gives us our new Antihero, and actually moves the film along. Now, the entire main trap plot I could of done without due to me not even caring about who is involved and what they do. Trust me: you would only want to see those parts if you like seeing the gore aspects. But, for the story, you will be cheering on the struggle between the characters of Hoffman and Jill as they both try to take over the legacy. They each have their own reasons and, while the aftermath might be the same, the way and reasons are what separates and it all comes down to who will do what is right: follow how it was suppose to go or do the complete opposite. Now for acting, I want to talk about Betsy Russell who portrays as Jigsaw's only true heir to the legacy and exwife. Her role in the film proves to me that she has true love for her husband's work and she wants to remain loyal to him. While Ms. Russell is not a good actress, she is not a terrible one at all. She does add a little bit of, I think the right word would be honor, yeah, she adds a bit of honor to the series by trying to keep those who are killed the same reason as her husband plus try to get rid of some people that might ruin the entire legacy even more. On the scale of Oscar acting or Razzie acting, she is in the middle, but more on with the Razzie end of the spectrum. The script, as I said, is better written then the previous one by adding more thrills then horror to the story. Plus, the entire idea of Hoffman against Jill, while it will be decided in the final film, does have something of an excitement if you allow yourself to be plunge into this world. And I like how paranoid Hoffman gets in the film. The score, why do I bother anymore with the score? It is basically the same one used over and over for all of the films with no one going around to try to make it different. Well, you can guess what I think of it just based on what I had written. Overall, this is a better entry in the series in terms to SAW IV - V, but this film is not as good as the original trilogy, but it is close.

    It wasn't that bad considering I don't particularly like any of the Saws. It was as gory and horrible as ever. If not worse... Genuinely scared me. A enthralling horror that makes you cringe.

    it looks like they spent alot more time working on the cool spooky cover than the actual... uh.. movie. Its pretty funny in some parts. like this chick whos in some burning maze that you can only stop from being hot if you pull this lever thingie and let the steam fly in your fac... read moree causing you to go "ARRRGH!" But it looks as if the actor has whiplash or something because if i was pulling a lever that shoots steam in my face AND i have the option to duck away from the steam, then im gonna a-duck. So anyway Jigs or whatever the hell his name is says the key is inside the the guy's body and she picks up this hacksaw or something and shes all "I WANT THAT KEY, BITCH!" I also think its funny that this girl won the "I wanna be a Scream Queen" contest thought this was gonna be her big break and it turns out all she does is cut her own arm off with a facial expression that tells me someone raped her baby in front of her. YOU FINALLY MADE IT, GURL!!

    And so it continues. Mandylor's arrogance in this film leads to him wanting to be seen as more of a hero. Meanwhile Jigsaw's ex-wife is becoming more involved and a new game has begun. The latest game takes on a bit of satirical social commentary, as we see a man from a health in... read moresurance company forced to face his evils. I can imagine this being pleasant viewing for many wronged by the health service in America. Outerbridge does a good job at conveying a man with difficult, and sometimes cruel, decisions to make, without ever being a completely hateable scoundrel. More gore and gruesome traps, perhaps some of the worst. Luckily, the Saw franchise is coming to an end, but it was a jolly good run.

    Having had a gap from the others, this became a little confusing to me, the order of how things happened etc, Jigsaw has made more appearances since his death than when he was alive.

    New traps, new games, but nothing gore-wise we haven't already seen.

    Slightly superior to the previous installment of this tiresome long-running series, the sixth Saw film is, of course, immensely gruesome and brutal, but surprisingly intriguing sometimes. However, it is also inadvertently hilarious, try not to laugh during the final scene.

    Surprisingly, Saw VI comes out of absolutely nowhere with a great story. Everything about this film is great. Not focussing on John this time around, the stories turn to one last round and a maze of brilliance. Saw VI covered the ground and made up for everything wrong with the p... read morerevious 4 films. This was a really good movie, not to mention they got people who can actually act and characters that you can actually care for when the final few minutes of the film were underway. The last film is soon approaching and I have never been so excited for a conclusion to a horror franchise that has been for a while now, considered to be dead. This franchise truly died out about 3 films ago, but it's back and ready for the final chapter to take over. Saw began great and is on it's way to a fantastic conclusion. The end will tear you apart and make you come back for the grand finale. Who knew SAW still had some steam left in it? Now, The Final Chapter Begins!

If you haven't followed the series up until now, there's not much point in trying to catch up. Full Review

Roger Moore

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

This script, by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, has a more lyrical bent, and a more satiric bite, than any of the other Saw sequels. Full Review

Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

The usual critiques apply: terrible acting, zero suspense, laughable logic and the promise of another one next year. Full Review

A film so frighteningly familiar it could well be called Saw It Already. Full Review

The Saw series long ago cannibalized its cleverest bloodbath gimmicks, but now it's figured out a new way to torture us: by taking a barb-wire stab at political relevance. Full Review

Saw VI doesn't come close to reigniting the spark of the original, but at least it approaches coherence, which is more than can be said for the last several installments of the series. Full Review

The latest installment of the movie franchise is as customer-service-oriented as ever.
