    • Quotes

      Jigsaw: [flashback scene when John questions William about being denied coverage for his cancer treatment] I came to talk to you Will, because I've found a treatment for my cancer that I think holds a lot of promise, but my requests for coverage have all been turned down.

      William: Yeah...

      Jigsaw: So, I was hoping that if I came and explained it to you that you might be able to get that overturned for me.

      William: [smiles doubtfully] Well, the buck stops here, John. Fire away.

      Jigsaw: Okay.

      [John hands William a brochure]

      Jigsaw: This is a doctor in Norway. He's got a 30 to 40% success rate with gene therapy. He injects what he calls suicide genes into cancerous tumor cells; then an inactive form of a toxic drug is administered...

      William: Yes. I'm familiar with the therapy you're talking about.

      Jigsaw: Right. And a new trial's starting. He's looking for new patients and he seems to think that I'm the perfect candidate...

      William: John, if your primary physician, Dr. Gordon, thought you were a suitable candidate, he would have pursued it.

      Jigsaw: No. Dr. Gordon is a specialist. You know, he's making money on his specialty. He's not a thinker. I mean, the man has his hand on the doorknob half the time that I'm there.

      William: I'm gonna be straight with you. At your age and with the development of your cancer, it's simply not feasible for Umbrella Health...

      Jigsaw: Wait, wait, wait, wait. What's not feasible? By whose mathematical equation is this not feasible?

      William: It's policy, John. It's policy.

      [pause]

      William: And if you go outside the system and seek out this treatment, which has been deemed ineffective, you will be in breach of policy and you will be dropped from coverage completely.

      [pause]

      William: I'm sorry.

      Jigsaw: [gets up from his chair and paces around William's office] Did you know that in the Far East, people pay their doctors when they're healthy? When they're sick, they don't have to pay them. So basically, they end up paying for what they want, not what they don't want.

      [pause]

      Jigsaw: We got it all ass-backwards here. These politicians, they say the same thing over and over and over again; "Healthcare decisions should be made by doctors and their patients, not by the government." Well, now I know they're not made by doctors and their patients or by the government. They're made by the fucking insurance companies.

    • Crazy credits
      SPOILER: In the Unrated Edition, there's an extra scene after the end credits: Amanda comes to the door of the place holding Corbett Denlon (Jeff Denlon's daughter, who Hoffman "saves" at the beginning of "Saw V" (2008)) and warns her "not to trust the one who saves her".
    • Alternate versions
      Also available in an unrated director's cut version, which restores deleted scenes and the violence originally cut for an "R" rating. A new scene after the end credits is also added.

    SAW finally redeems itself.
    Coming back from the midnight viewing, I am seriously shocked. I remember this time last year writing a review for SAW V, and from first impressions, I enjoyed it. Digging deeper though after-wards, I realized how much was wrong. This time however, several friends came along, avid fans of disliking the newer installments. Well, I am happy to say, they finally did something right.

    The very first thing I noticed that was different was the pacing of the movie. The opening scene is a trap. I will not reveal who, or why for that matter, you pay good money to find out after all. Though after that, the movie takes a very different tone. While everyone probably is used to the nature of SAW not wasting any time, they took a different approach for the sixth installment.

    We begin to follow where SAW V left off, Hoffman emerging victorious, or so it may seem. And soon enough, the introduction of our newest test subject, William. It's hard to get into the character without spoiling anything, so if I seem vague, you know why. William is an insurance agent, the vice president of his company as a matter of fact. In that, he made a formula on how to determine who should be eligible for health insurance. Needless to say, John Kramer was a former associate of his.

    Jill, the ex-wife of the infamous Jigsaw Killer was also presented a box. The box plays a large role this time around and again, I will not spoil it. Her role in the grand scheme of things is further explained and finally understood. Everything between her past with John, her present with Hoffman, and if she truly is part of the scheme, or just another person wanting to escape it all.

    The story is nice refresher from the original pace and nicely executed. Acting this time around as well was great.

    My only complaint is how even though the ending will surprise you, there has been so much exposed through previous installments, you feel less than shocked. Those who remember previous SAW's will understand what I mean by shock.

    There is a lot answered this time around, near everything actually. Be it the letter from SAW III, Hoffman's true intentions, Jill's involvement, and Jigsaw's grand scheme, everything will be fully explained this time around. I highly recommenced this SAW, especially if you want to give it that one last chance to see if it can be saved. Personally, I find it redeeming and if they continue with refreshing courses such as this, SAW could go on forever.
