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.

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 vast improvement over the previous two installments of the series taking on the health insurance industry in the series' first overtly political statement.

a welcome return to enjoyable horror fare for a series that seemed to have lost its way.

It's been three films since they killed off Jigsaw, the putative psycho-killer of the Saw series of slasher films. So at this point, they literally are beating a dead horse.

Saw VI is, pardon the pun, a cut above the rest but not, sadly, by much.

If you haven’t followed the series up until now, there’s not much point in trying to catch up.

Editor-turned-director Kevin Greutert shows confidence behind the camera -- still, one can only hope that Jigsaw’s gruesome Pecksniffian pedagogy gets a taste of its own blade soon.

For the next installment, I think Jigsaw should time travel into the past and mess with the ancestors of his enemies. That would be cool!

Intense, relentlessly horrifying, disgusting and often implausible, but surprisingly intriguing at times.

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.

A triumph (a very relative triumph) for two reasons: first, it is not so confusing as Saw IV, and second, it is not so sleepy and wholly pointless as Saw V.
