This is hard core Pain And Suffering territory... The film wastes no time getting down to nasty business, ripping, slicing, gouging, piercing, smashing and tearing every part of the human body Full Review |

We now find ourselves in the downward slope of the Saw series as Saw IV stretches credibility to the breaking point. Full Review |

Jigsaw is an interesting character with an interesting worldview and an interesting way of carrying out his will. It's too bad the movies themselves aren't worthy of him. Full Review |

I do wish that these movies were well made, because I actually think the premises are quite clever, but unless a veteran who is more confident in his abilities takes over, we are left with what could have been... Full Review |

Poor Jigsaw. The architect of the most deadly traps ever committed to celluloid has endured inoperable cancer, a debilitating car crash and even the premature death of his son, but nothing as painful or degrading as 'Saw IV.' Full Review |

... any serious consideration of the killer's fascination with violence is superseded by the director's (and the returning viewers') own sadistic pleasures. Full Review |

Outro típico exemplar da série: o final, como de hábito, é até engenhoso, mas a fórmula cada vez mais desgastada exige paciência até que cheguemos a ele.

 2.5/4.0 |
Whereas the first Saw and the third met the right balance, the second film and now the fourth push things a little too far and end up being less effective as a result. Full Review |

2.5/4 |
Were it not for the saving grace of Tobin Bell's mere presence, there's little doubt that Saw IV would come off about as well as a typical straight-to-video horror sequel. Full Review |

Torture, you may recall, used to be an unparsable, unpardonable sin. Now it's porn. Full Review |

Like many villains before him, John turns out to have been wronged rather randomly, an act of terrible violence that he absorbs into his worldview. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
Opens with the clinically graphic dissection of the deceased Jigsaw, who finally lives up to (dies down to?) his name by being separated into pieces... Full Review |
||
|
1.5/5 |
Might be the best since the first, but still a task to watch. A painful, meaningless task. Full Review |

Previously, Jigsaw and the filmmakers played fair, but too much about this latest instalment seems simply arbitrary. Full Review |
