    They need to let more people survive the saw traps so they can eventually have an all stars season of competent and semi-smart players and Julie Benz’s character can be there and win. Also WHY did they think it was a good idea to have strahm and Hoffman look exactly alike

    Filme legal pra caralho, o roteiro é legal, o filme mostra o policial Hoffman que continua com o legado do jigsaw, e faz novos desafios para outras pessoas, Hoffman também fez um jogo para o agente straum que ele escapou, depois o filme mostra flashbacks do jigsaw junto com o policial Hoffman fazendo vários jogos, depois o agente straum foi atrás de pistas sobre quem era o jigsaw, e descobre que o policial Hoffman era o jigsaw e persegue ele,…

    This time from Canadian director David Hackl, Saw 5 follows a new Jigsaw game that lures five unassuming victims. Meanwhile, FBI Agent Strahm is suspicious of Detective Hoffman and delves into his past. Saw 5 is a pretty fun and yet another gory entry to this iconic franchise. It’s actually grown on me over the years. I think it was slightly disappointing on first watch just because it seemed pretty dull compared to Saw 4. But just focusing on this…

    🎬 SAW V Agent Peter Strahm 🕵️‍♂️ versucht, die grausamen Ereignisse rund um Jigsaw und dessen Erbe aufzuklären. Dabei stößt er auf immer mehr Hinweise, die ihn tief in ein gefährliches Netz aus Manipulation, Rätseln und tödlichen Prüfungen führen. 🧩⛓️ Währenddessen müssen mehrere Menschen um ihr Überleben kämpfen und sich scheinbar unmöglichen Entscheidungen stellen. 😰🔪 Wer steckt wirklich hinter den Spielen – und wem kann man noch vertrauen? 💭 Meine Meinung: Ich finde SAW V tatsächlich besser als SAW IV.…

    Quando a franquia vira um quebra-cabeça sem graça Existe um momento bastante específico em que uma franquia de terror deixa de parecer uma história que precisa continuar e começa a parecer uma reunião de executivos perguntando: “mas e se a gente fizer mais um?”. Jogos Mortais V vive exatamente nesse limbo. Não é um desastre absoluto, porque ainda existe alguma inteligência na construção dos jogos e na expansão da mitologia, mas é um filme que frequentemente parece estar preenchendo espaço…

    Siento que esta película es más interesante por la trama de los detectives que por las trampas en sí, y si bien no digo que la saga de Jigsaw sea pura y exclusivamente sobre las trampas, creo que si una película es catalogada como “terror gore” y no como “policial” las trampas de Jigsaw y sus moralejas deberían ser la trama principal. En esta ocasión vemos a un grupo de 5 personas que no entendemos qué tienen que ver con…

    Le film sauve la licence! Reprends la suite du précédent comme d’habitude mais développe le tueur sous une nouvelle approche étant donné son identité et ça change mais de manière positive. Il met également plus de cohérence dans les scènes de flashbacks jusqu’à certains détails et n’hésite pas à bien remonter dans le temps pour vraiment rattraper la merde pas détaillés de presque tous les opus précédents donc c’est vraiment cool! Le seul point négatif c’est les pièges à mon…

    right off the bat i haaateee the editing of the intro. however, the third act of this is so tense and good!!! looveee the glass coffin trap & the concept of a group trap where they specifically have to work together. the writing in general was butt though. the entire movie was just flashbacks, retconning & rewriting to include hoffman’s presence in the last 4 movies prior to this one. felt veryyy lazy. & the way strahm pieced together who the new jigsaw…

    this movie gets an extra half star because im an easy mark and liked watching strahm strut around in his cunty leather jacket and talk to himself while psychically intuiting the plots of the previous four movies and hoffman’s backstory. also having hoffman kill him off and not continuing this story forward into saw vi is such a baffling bad writing decision like what were they thinking. #loveloses.

    well it’s definitely a mid-era saw movie! the traps are the best part. we get two bangers back-to-back at the start. the fatal five situation is slightly less fun (mostly because they’re all stupid pricks. big fucking whoopsie indeed.) but 10 pints of sacrifice makes up for the ones before. top 3 saw traps for sure. overall they contribute sweet fuck all to the rest of the plot to the point fans don’t remember their names or backstories (source: i…

    Unlike Saw IV which felt like it had a really weak justification to exist, Saw V spends the majority of its runtime recapping the previous movies and shoehorning Hoffman in to the history of the franchise. It actively tries to build out this world and add context to what came before. It is far less concerned with anything happening in the current day to the point that this movie has almost nothing actively going on. In most cases, this is…

    The game in Saw V might be my favorite behind Saw 2 it’s just a shame the movie is not if it was just the escape room style 1 person lives on after each room I would rate this movie so much higher When they realise what was actually needed in each escape room game it’s quite the…oh shit moment and I love it The cop side of this movie by this entry does get so convoluted and entangled with the previous 4 movies worth of lore and it can be hard to follow

    “contrived” is pretty common in the saw franchise so i don’t tend to mind it… but i think insecurity around being contrived, and spending upwards of 60 minutes trying to explain and justify contrivances… you already got me. you don’t need to do that! boring, and the trap plot completely fell on its face. i like the teamwork idea but we just don’t get to know them enough for it to be rewarding. i wanted it to be over for the last hour. that’s never a good sign
