Saw V

Saw V "You won't believe how it ends"
The catchphrase didn't deliver for me because I've seen Hostel II which should never be watched more than once. 
Saw V picks up exactly where Saw IV left off and if you haven't seen the first 4 movies going into this one you will be confused as shit. 
FBI Agent Mark Hoffman is seen as the hero who brought Jigsaw to justice and the Jigsaw Murders are offically over... so everyone thinks.  In reality, this movie is filled with flashbacks to all 4 of the previous movies.  Someone killed Hoffman's sister years ago and for revenge, Hoffman did a copycat murder of the guy who killed her with an evil contraption of his own.  The only problem is, the "game" he creates is impossible to survive from.  This angers Jigsaw so Mark Hoffman gets kidnapped by Jigsaw and he explains once again how he's never killed anyone and always gives them a choice.  Hoffman becomes the second accomplass to Jigsaw (this occurs before the recruiting of Amanda in Saw II)  All the while in real time agent Strahm is on to Hoffman and tracks him to  prove Hoffman has been an accomplass to Jigsaw's murders.
 Also throw on the side, Jigsaw's ex-wife who recieves a mystery box present from her late ex-husband.  What's inside the box?  We all want to know but we may just have to wait for SAW VI.  Not so scary, but keeps you thinking and if your not paying attention 100% your not going to understand as much.  Gore factor is definately there too with the sawing of fingers and tendons, decapitations, electrocutions and more.  Not bad, I'd put this one on par with the 4th one.
7.5/10
If you've never seen any of the Saw movies but your interested, I would recommend sticking with the first 2.
