Storyline
Jigsaw and his young apprentice, Amanda, are dead. But the grisly games continue. 5 supposed strangers find themselves in the midst of the big game, and believe they are in a survival of the fittest competition. Via his now infamous video linked doll, Jigsaw conveys the message that they should ignore their instincts, and ignore his advice at their peril. Meanwhile, agent Strahm wants to prove that Hoffman is an apprentice to Jigsaw, and pursues him as he continues his twisted games. What Strahm does not realize is that Hoffman is testing him all along, and must pass his test in order to stay alive. Written by Nathanael Benson

Trivia
Scott Patterson had to rerecord his lines in ADR to make his voice deeper and more hoarse to reflect the voice of someone who has just had a tracheotomy. See more »Goofs
When Jigsaw is talking to the detective at one point he opens the shotgun and we see a cartridge in the left barrel. Moments earlier when the detective is tied to the chair, jigsaw pulls the front trigger and it is blank. Traditional double-barreled shotguns have the left barrel connected to the front trigger and the right barrel connected to the back trigger so when Jigsaw pulls the front trigger it should shoot, since there is a cartridge in the left barrel.

Given that the Saw films are notable for their unexpected plot twists, the fact that this was the most predictable one makes it difficult to see why it scored the "You won't believe how it ends" tagline. Otherwise, it's decent. It blows Saw III out of the water, but I don't feel it really compares to the other three. I can appreciate that they're trying to bring it back to what the original was all about; a brilliant plot with a couple of gory scenes (the previous two have been somewhat gore-laden with little story for my liking), the problem being, unfortunately, that the plot is fairly weak. The intensity of the torture scenes is greatly increased, though, by the rest period between them.
As a horror film, this works, but don't expect Saw - and don't expect to be blown away by the ending, because it is nothing special. That said, if you're addicted to the Saw saga as so many of us are, there's no harm in going out to see it.
