    Storyline

    Edit
    Detective Mark Hoffman is deemed a hero after he saves a young girl and "escapes" one of Jigsaw's games, or so it seems. Special Agent Peter Strahm is suspicious of him after an injured Agent Lindsay Perez says Hoffman's name. While Agent Strahm looks into Detective Hoffman's past, five people face a series of tests set up by Jigsaw. —Rebekah Swain

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Real animal blood was used for the final trap. The director said they wouldn't have used it if they knew how bad it was going to smell.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 7 mins) Detective Mark Hoffman steals Agent Peter Strahm's cellphone out of the evidence locker, and uses it to call Agent Dan Erickson. Erickson answers the phone thinking it was actually Agent Peter Strahm. However Erickson should have known that Strahm's cellphone was in evidence, and therefore known that it could have been someone else using the cellphone.

    Not as good as previous installments
    While this is still a watchable, well acted movie that continues on the Saw tradition well I have to give it a lower rating because it just was not as good as the previous installments. The plot and the traps that we have come to be surprised by seemed to be a more predictable and rushed along by the makers of the movie. It seemed like this movie could have just been tossed in with part 4 to make one big movie as the prequel to the next part. So to me it seemed like the studio just split up 1 movie into 2 parts to capitalize on the profits....which they have done well I might add because myself and many other movie goers packed the theater for the 5th Saw installment. So in closing I think this movie may be adequate for the die hard saw fans, not nearly good enough for new comers, and winds up lacking far more than it gives. That is why I can only give this movie a 5 out of 10
