Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I went in with a preconceived notion of this film based on the trailers which I admit is something I need to stop doing. I am a fan of the original Saw - as it was an excellent concept for a horror film. Then came Saws upon Saws and I lost interest as it kept going through the Studio System "Money Grab" ploy. But then, this one came out, and while it had the same 'sorta' predictable elements - I waited until its cable debut to watch. And I grew interested as the story unfolded. For me, this is not a bad installment, or a jump start into a new idea based on an old one. What was better for me was seeing Tobin Bell reprise the iconic role and not rely on the "Jigsaw" tag, but what started out as a good concept to begin with. No need to call him..Jigsaw. But please feel free to call imitators that if need be. And that is the point.As I watched this I started thinking that the filmmakers were playing the audience for fools - a real big suspension of disbelief - to think that what inevitably happened to John, didn't. But I scored this high for the way the Speirig Brothers...actually didn't. So it got me there.To be realistic, it comes down to what you are watching this franchise for...is it 'the games'? The equation of morals? The paybacks? Trying to figure out is this good or bad or somewhere in between? I find it's a bit of all of it and it comes together, even if it can be slightly predictable at this point. But this one had an ending that I didn't quite see coming in the way it did, and it made me checking this one out, more worthwhile than I would have thought.

This movie's cinematography is actually quite good but the storyline is horribly paced. As the Saw franchise goes on, the sequels make the story even more hilarious with each new twist. And this movie certainly did not disappoint with its absolutely ridiculous twist! Overall, this movie is great as a comedy, but not so great as a dead serious horror film.

SAW I, II and III tried to be serious. SAW movies 4-8 are a deliberate PARODY combined with fan service. They have to be viewed through this lens and if you do just that they won't disappoint. The last 5 movies are not an attempt at a serious thriller! Jigsaw gave me solid 10 minutes of pure laughter. It would have been an 8 if I wasn't forced to correct the rating.

Every one who is associated with this franchise needs to realize that it was once a great, in fact one of the best horror movies at its time but now its dead, so no more games. Contained useless twists, it was supposed to be rebirth of the series or what? still it was not fun. And most of the actors don't fit, it seems they are struggling to keep up. If you ask me one word to describe it, "Dissappointed".
