3/4
"By connecting its central themes to one of today's most hot-button issues, Saw VI brings more relevance to the franchise than it's seen in ages."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  A. J. Hakari

3.5/5
"the best entry in the series since Saw II."  Filmcritic.com  Blake French

D+
"Would it kill these producers to take a few chances for the next adventure? It's easy to loathe a Saw picture, but to be utterly bored by one seems an unpardonable offense."  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

D
"Headache-inducing, and featuring one of the worst D-movie performances of the aughts from Costas Mandylor, the latest "Saw" franchise addition is more of the same torture-punishment-rehab-porn audiences have come to expect."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

3/4
"A clear improvement over its two most recent predecessors..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

2/4
"The good news: it is easily a step up from the worthless, dirge-worthy likes of Saw IV and Saw V. The not-so-good news, then, is that the film is still unnecessary and convoluted, the series having long since run out of steam and freshness."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

C
"While the social commentary is as shallow as ever, the film's overall quality is better than the last two installments. That isn't saying much, but it's something."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

F
"The tawdry use of important real-life social issues in the service of what amounts to nothing more than another exercise in malignant sadism makes this picture even worse than earlier episodes."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2/5
"Sixth film in revenge series is just as bloody as the rest."  Common Sense Media  James Rocchi

"Parental Content Review"  Screen It!  Jim Judy

2.5/4.0
"In what was originally slated to be the final chapter, the latest installment keeps the traps interesting but leaves the back story running thin."  MovieCrypt.com  Kevin A. Ranson

3.5/5
"At one point, I did roll my eyes and think that the movie might be going too far. But then I realized they had been going too far for years. That's what makes them still edgy."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

"When torture porn becomes as snooze-inducing as lecture hall, it's time to call it a day."  Horror Hacker  Maitland McDonagh

3/5
"Saw VI is a step in the right direction, but it's still a film more likely to appeal to fans of the earlier entries than win new converts to the cause."  The Horror Geek  Mike Bracken

1.0/4.0
"Saw VI plays like the last gasp for relevance of a heavy-metal series that has not only gone regurgitation-rusty but seems lacking much of a will to live."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

1/5
"The nicest thing that you can say about it is that it isn't quite as contemptuous of its audience as the incredibly lazy and unnecessary "Saw V" was."  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

3.5/5
"Where Saw 6 earns a few points over its predecessors is in its devotion to simple but effective gallows humor."  FEARnet  Scott Weinberg

3/10
"A triumph (a very relative triumph) for two reasons: first, it is not so confusing as Saw IV, and second, it is not so sleepy and wholly pointless as Saw V."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton

2/4
"A vast improvement over the previous two installments of the series taking on the health insurance industry in the series' first overtly political statement."  Oscar Guy  Wesley Lovell
