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.
Top CriticYes: a horror movie about health insurance.
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.
Saw VI's story is now so ugly and bent out of shape, it's impossible to follow - more fool you for trying.
It's strange that a few people have been saying that this entry is a step in the right direction for the franchise. The only right step this franchise could take would be to end.
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.
Saw VI is the sixth Saw I've seen, and maybe the sickest.
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.

- William: It's not my game...

- Simone: Look at me. Look at my goddamn arm! What the fuck am I supposed to learn from this? Huh?
-
- Jigsaw/John: You think it's the living who have ultimate judgment over you, because the dead will have no claim over your soul. But you may be mistaken.
