Special Agent Peter Strahm is suspicious of him after his assistant Agent Lindsay Perez says Hoffman's name. While Agent Strahm looks into Detective Hoffman's past, a group of five people who helped burn a building which was supposedly abandoned face a series of tests set up by Jigsaw.Written by

Saw V was a decent film, but sadly it is nothing compared to the first 4 and is the weakest of the lot.
I felt the acting was very poor at times from most of the cast, but Tobin Bell still managed a very good performance as the sick and twisted "Jigsaw", it's a shame he didn't get much screen time.
The other problem I had with the film was that it didn't really feel like a saw film while watching, it seemed like they wanted to focus on the drama more than the actual traps. But with saying that, the main game with Malick, Brit, Luba, Charles and Ashley is VERY well done and entertaining, it's a shame they didn't show it more.
Overall, this is a pretty good film, with a bit of a let down ending (but still shocking).
PS. The rating would have been higher if they focused on the group game more.
