Saw V

Rated R for language, graphic violence, gore and scenes of torture

Starring Tobin Bell, Costas Mandylor, Scott Patterson

A continuation of the previous 4 films, this one appears to take place simultaneously with the events of #4, picking up right at the very end of the 3rd one with them finding Jigsaw and Amanda's dead bodies. Like the third installment, in this one, we learn more about Jigsaw's other apprentice, Agent Hoffman and his relationship with Jigsaw as well as how he had been involved throughout the entire series, revisiting scenes from the previous films.

Hoffman is struggling to cover his tracks with his involvement in the Jigsaw murders, however, as Agent Strahm is hot on his heels, all while another set of vicitims, all connected somehow, play one of Jigsaw's last deadly games, only in this one, they must work together to solve each puzzle if they want to live.

If you've seen the series up to this point, might as well go see this one to continue the storyline. If you stopped watching early on, don't bother as it's just more of the same, with more of a detective angle on the story. I will admit though, as up the anty as they've been in the last few films with the gore factor, this one shockingly seemed a little tame!
