Saw V

Finally, a Saw that gives us something new, or at least newish. Sure, Saw V has faults, many of them, but I respect what the writers tried to do. They twisted the usual story line, and focused more on Scott Patterson's Agent Strahm than the victims. Plus, the amount of gore was significantly reduced, perhaps in response to the erroneous claims of "torture porn." Director David Hackl takes over for Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II - IV), though his work seems lacking when compared to Bousman.
