Horror Forensics expert Hoffman (Mandylor) goes on the hunt in order to protect the secret that he is the newest person to carry on Jigsaw's legacy.

	Media	Author	Review
		Nathan Lee The New York Times	"A laughably convoluted plot that skips back and forth in time, trying to piece together who did what, when and why. The only question really worth asking here: Who cares?"
		Gregory Kirschling Entertainment Weekly	"The production values have become so horror-movie shoddy that 'Saw V' has more in common with kitsch like 'Friday the 13th Part V' than the original 'Saw'."
		Wesley Morris Boston Globe	"Oh, Jigsaw. Here we go again. You kill. I doze off. Someone at the studio goes "ka-ching! (…) Rating: ½ (out of 4)"
		Robert Koehler Variety	"Blood flows, but largely at the beginning and the end, with a surprisingly plodding middle taking up most of the space."
		Jim Vejvoda IGN	"The traps, however, are the real reason why people go to see these films and, in that regard, 'Saw V' delivers the goods."
		Nathan Rabin AV Club	"At this point, the series pretty much writes and directs itself. The driving force is inertia and commercial calculation, not inspiration."
