Boston GlobeWesley Morris
Who knew that the franchise’s creators would eventually find a plot twist that made sense? Read full review

The New York TimesMike Hale
Warm feelings are inspired by the reappearance of old friends, even those who had their faces ripped off or their intestines ejected several films ago. Read full review

Film ThreatStina Chyn
Conveys a much louder political message and the implementation of violence reflects as much. Read full review

Time OutJoshua Rothkopf
There’s still too much flashback material here about apprentices and evil cops. But if you’ve ever raged at nameless, insensitive service people, you won’t mind seeing them strapped into a rotating turret, the shotgun cocking. Read full review

The A.V. ClubScott Tobias

L.A. WeeklyNick Pinkerton
Taken just as an objet d’art, Saw VI — gray, grisly, solemn, stupid — would be about the most dismal thing I’ve ever laid eyes on, the argument against film preservation. But it vaults into the realm of real detestability through pretensions of relevance. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert Abele
Terrible acting, zero suspense, laughable logic and the promise of another one next year. How can we get this policy canceled? Read full review
