Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

jtindahouse The biggest strength the 'Saw' series possesses it how intelligent they are, however the biggest weakness the series possesses is that too many of the film aren't unique enough and don't have personally identifying features. So where does 'Saw VI' fall in terms of those two parameters? As far as intelligence goes it is up there with the smartest in the series. It is thought-provoking, challenging and has an extremely clever twist ending. It succeeds in this area as much as, if not more than, every other entry in the series. What about in terms of being unique though? Again this is the only fault with the film, as it is with many of the later editions. It feels very similar in format and style to every other film and when there are seven entries in your series, that makes them very hard to separate in your mind.I really enjoyed 'Saw VI'. It is everything a 'Saw' film should be. The brutality is immense, the layers to the story are plentiful and the ending is superbly executed. I would say the dialogue in this one is perhaps less memorable in spots than other films in the series, but only in a very minor way. This is probably the best of the latter editions to the series and one that ensured the series would have a lasting impact on a lot of people. A 'Saw' entry not to be missed.

swilliky Jigsaw returns for the sixth time to further the horror story and continue the gruesome conquest of punishing those the killer deems guilty in terrible ways. Mark Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) carries on the legacy of John Kramer (Tobin Bell) but he has to work harder to cover his tracks. Dan Erikson (Mark Rolston) leads the FBI investigation though he has a misguided belief that a former agent is guilty. He kept it a secret that Agent Lindsey Perez (Athena Karkanis) had survived a Jigsaw attack back in the fourth film. John's ex-wife Jill Tuck (Betsy Russell) holds on to a box of Kramer's last wishes but hands over the folders inside when Hoffman demands them. This installment is about Jigsaw continuing his revenge even after he has died.William Easton (Peter Outerbridge) is the focus of this film's terrifying puzzle. He is attacked in his office and wakes up attached to a breathing machine. His decisions at the health insurance company have resulted in people dying so his first task is to hold his breath against a chronic smoker or whoever breaths will have their abdomen squeezed. William makes it out of this test but has to continue forward or explosive bracelets and anklets will explode his limbs. He also must continue forward because his family is held in a cage with a tank of acid above it. It looks like an abandoned zoo and his next step is in a glass observatory. He must choose between his older secretary with her family or a lonely intern. He chooses the intern to die by releasing a chain that makes the young man hang by barbed wire. His third task is to help a lawyer through a maze by stopping steam jets but in the process, he'll get burned. He helps the lawyer through but balks when she tries to cut a key out of his side. A device goes off ripping open her skull. Check out more of this review and others at swilliky.com

Smoreni Zmaj Thank God... Somehow I managed to survive third and fourth, I was thinking to quit, fifth gave me little bit of hope, but when I sat to watch this one I really wasn't optimistic at all and I was almost sure I'll give it up in first half and say goodbye to Saw once and forever. But this was pleasant surprise. I'm not sure if this movie really is good or I just lowered criteria terribly after watching crappy prequels, but now I'll definitely watch seventh movie and go to theater to see the latest one. Current order from best to worst:1. Saw I 2. Saw II 3. Saw VI 4. Saw V 5. Saw III 6. Saw IV7,5/10

zkonedog After the utterly confusing fifth installment of the "Saw" franchise, I knew that the "Saw" brand would be at a crossroads, with this effort likely determining its future viability. As it turned out, this is where the slow bleed begins.For a basic plot summary, Saw 6 sees Detective Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) continuing the work of the very much deceased Jigsaw (Tobin Bell). This time, in keeping with real-life events, the targets of the cruel iron death traps are mortgage loaners and health care representatives, and they are both morally and physically tested by the horrifying ordeal.I have one very positive thing to saw about the film, which is that I least I could understand what was going on (something I could not say about the fifth movie). Instead of overly relying on Jigsaw flashbacks (although there are still a few of those), this film kind of goes back to the roots of the original, where the focus is on the morality of the "game", not on Jigsaw's tangled personal web. Unfortunately, that is about the only compliment I can give.The main problem with a film like this is that it has milked the source material so dry that it's more disappointing than interesting. The original "Saw" completely changed the game in terms of horror flicks, but each subsequent sequel only watered things down a little bit more. By the time this one rolled around, there are no more surprises and the shock value is gone, plain and simple. Basically, one can only "go to the well" so many times before it dries up.Thus, although this franchise hasn't produced the worst sequels in horror movie history (see: Halloween), by "Saw 6" it is clear that the originality has dried up and the writers/producers are running on fumes. Who knows how long the franchise will continue, as the horror genre can always bank on that one special week (up to October 31) for good business, but suffice it to say that it will only serve to make us appreciate the genius of the original even more.
