The saw franchise is one of the rare entities in the film industry where the sequels are just as good, if not better than the original. It's difficult to keep the storyline going, but they do it well, piecing in information from earlier movies to help keep the viewer up to date.

And the gore is the glue that sticks it all together, and in high definition it's just even better for all horror fans.

Admittingly, its not the best in series. But I think the director went down the story-line route mixed with some blood and gore, as opposed to creating his own plot and story to follow.
This film uses its runtime to mainly tie up the unanswered questions from the previous films, while adding its own into the mix to set up for the 6th film.
Thats the quick review out the way.
Blu-Ray wise, im looking forward to it. I was bitterly dissappointed with the 1st 2 blu-ray conversions (imported) way too grainy to even bother, upscale a R2 DVD instead. 3 and 4 on the other hand, they were much better. Sharp picture, brilliant sound. Hopefully the R2 Blu Ray release of the 1st 2 will be re-done.

Dont really know how to review this film but here it goes in my opinion this film is mainly used to answer questions we are all confused about. At the end of saw 4 i was confused as hell but after saw 5 i felt a like i had learned something it does have some better tortue scenes in but i mainly think this film is made for the fans seeking answers definatly worth buying 9/10
