It won't earn the franchise many new fans, but Saw VI is a surprising step up for what has become an intricately grisly annual tradition.

If you haven't followed the series up until now, there's not much point in trying to catch up.
This script, by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, has a more lyrical bent, and a more satiric bite, than any of the other Saw sequels.
The usual critiques apply: terrible acting, zero suspense, laughable logic and the promise of another one next year.
A film so frighteningly familiar it could well be called Saw It Already.
The Saw series long ago cannibalized its cleverest bloodbath gimmicks, but now it's figured out a new way to torture us: by taking a barb-wire stab at political relevance.
Who knew that the franchise's creators would eventually find a plot twist that made sense?
It's funny, but the thing that the series seems to have lost track of amidst all the soap opera and moralizing is the idea that these are horror films.
Thrives on extreme, ghastly gore as its primary motivation, making all other concerns secondary; in essence, it's more an endurance test than it is a movie.
They keep reviving dead characters to keep the poor excuse for a story going. When will it all end? Jigsaw is dead, everyone's dead. Please make it stop! Paul Chambers, CNN.
Seems [first-time director Kevin] Greutert is off to a good start in the horror film biz, showing equal acumen in handling both actors and action.
Embora ainda não tenha assumido o tom de auto-paródia que eventualmente envolve toda franquia do gênero, a série já começou há muito a provocar risos involuntários.
'Saw VI' proves to be the one to pull the series out of its tailspin. Film No. 6 is not only good, it's really good.
Would make a good co-feature with Michael Moore's 'Sicko,' as self-righteous maniac Jigsaw -- apparently a fan of the public option -- plays his bloody, lethal 'games' with health insurance professionals who deny coverage to the needy.
When torture porn becomes as snooze-inducing as lecture hall, it's time to call it a day.
A clear improvement over its two most recent predecessors...
A vast improvement over the previous two installments of the series taking on the health insurance industry in the series' first overtly political statement.
Saw movies and Halloween go together like ho and hum.
a welcome return to enjoyable horror fare for a series that seemed to have lost its way.
Saw VI is, pardon the pun, a cut above the rest but not, sadly, by much.
Saw VI is by far the second best film in the series and a very good horror film. The story isn't necessarily any different yhan the other Saw movie, but it has the best tension since the original film, it is by far one of the goriest in the series, and is fun for people who have kept up with the series. The cast is

Okay...It's still good. But it's starting to feel like we aren't getting nowhere with the series. Once again I repeat...Killing Jigsaw so early was a big mistake. Hoffman is a great guy....But it's just not the same. Maybe it's good that the next one is the last one. We gotta move forward. Still good though. Brutal
