Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the scene where Hoffman is burning the Jigsaw evidence, you hear the click of the lighter as he opens it, he then drops the lighter into the gasoline on the ground, however you also hear the lighter closing again, though the lighter clearly never got into Hoffman's hands again.

Life Won't Wait

Anticlimactic and rushed FINAL CHAPTER Made the last 6 MOvieS PointLESS

This movie was a huge letdown , publicity made me believe that this will be final piece of the puzzle which will connect all the previous movies, so i was at least expecting something more intelligent and a shocker twist of an ending, what we got instead seemed to be a rushed attempt to close all loopholes from the previous chapters.

I followed this SAGA not just because of the gore but also the story which i thought would end in a very epic scale ,this final chapter just offered more gore and took the simplest and easiest way out of the story, It felt like wasting a 7 year long wait for a good ending and instead we get a mediocre and Pointless one.
