Entertainment Weekly
The production values have become so horror-movie shoddy that Saw V has more in common with kitsch like "Friday the 13th Part V" than the original "Saw." - 40
L.A. Weekly
The method to the madness of the traps turns out to be quite clever, but the rewriting of Saw mythology is the slasher equivalent of revising Star Wars so that Greedo fires at Han Solo first. - 40
Film Threat
This is easily the smallest-scale of the sequels, and it has the feeling of a massively shrunken budget. - 30
Austin Chronicle
Truly, the greatest torture of all is boredom. - 25
The A.V. Club
Devotes so much time and energy to flashbacks and recycling footage from its predecessors that it threatens to implode. - 25
USA Today
Saw V is a terrible combination: grisly and tedious. Let's just call it bloody dull. - 20
New York Daily News
This year's installment is as disappointing as a Halloween bag filled with nothing but raisins. - 20
