Saw V

You won’t believe how it ends.

Detective Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) and Agent Strahm (Scott Patterson) survive Jigsaw’s (Tobin Bell) traps, but Strahm has a feeling that Hoffman knows far more about it than he puts on. This franchise is like a Russian nested doll – reveal one mystery and another one waits inside. But now the surprises are so expected that they’re losing their element of… surprise. Increasingly hard to believe in, the story is also rather dull this time and Mandylor is a much less colorful killer than Jigsaw.

2008-U.S. 90 min. Color. Directed by David Hackl. Cast: Tobin Bell (Jigsaw/John Kramer), Costas Mandylor (Mark Hoffman), Scott Patterson (Peter Strahm), Betsy Russell, Mark Rolston, Julie Benz… Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Glover.

Trivia: Followed by Saw VI (2009).

Remember This?

“Don't you think I know that if I was some hotshot from out of town that pulled inside here and you guys made a reservation mistake, I'd be the first one to get a room and I'd be upstairs relaxing right now. But I'm not some hotshot from out of town, I'm a small reporter from 'Rolling Stone' magazine that's in town to do an exclusive interview with Michael Jackson that's gonna be picked up by every major magazine in the country. I was gonna call the article 'Michael Jackson Is Sitting On Top of the World,' but now I think I might as well just call it 'Michael Jackson Can Sit On Top of the World Just As Long As He Doesn't Sit in the Beverly Palm Hotel 'Cause There's No Niggers Allowed in There!'”
