Detective Kerry states that John Kramer (aka "Jigsaw") technically isn't a murderer, that he finds ways for his victims to kill themselves. She is right, he technically never killed anyone himself, however John could have still been charged with second-degree murder for each of his victims that died. New York state, and most other states as well, has a statute that allows someone to be charged with murder even if they didn't actually intend to kill someone. Normally if someone's reckless actions unintentionally cause a person's death they are charged with involuntary manslaughter. However when someone's actions go beyond reckless and they do something that puts another person in a situation where their death is a likely outcome they are doing what is known as "showing a depraved indifference to human life". It's called depraved indifference murder, by putting his victims in a situation where the likely outcome will be their death John would have been charged with multiple counts of second-degree murder under that statute if he had been apprehended.

Wow. The critics weren't wrong. Not since seven has horror been portrayed so majestically.
From the first minute to last this film twists and turns you till you feel rather poorly. Just like 'Se7en', the all-round Grittiness that director James Wan creates disgusts and enthralls. Just like 'Se7en', there is a H U G E twist that makes your blood curdle.
A lack of star names helps the movie flow as the pace builds to a finale that won't be forgotten by this viewer in a hurry!
I still can't sleep.
It is well scripted, well acted, and, for everyone who guesses the killer after the first few minutes, keeps you guessing right up to the final reel. It is better than Seven for shock value. It is not over the top gory but there is a final scene which makes you sweat.
Very highly recommended!
