So much was tied up, answered and completed in Saw VI that this film feels merely like a film going through the motions to what should be the finale of the series. Hoffman's revenge ploy may drive the film, but he too barely appears. Jill was always a supporting player, but her screen time and presence has been drastically reduced even further. Jigsaw, a character who must hold some sort of record for remaining the lead despite having died four movies ago, merely appears in an extended cameo. Gordon (Cary Elwes), there is nothing really notable about the film. Outside of the long awaited (and unfortunately spoiled) return of Dr. If that does not sound like much, it is because there is not much to Saw 3D. But Hoffman is not just out for her blood – he has set-up a new game for Bobby Dagen (Sean Patrick Flanery), a survivor of a Jigsaw trap and self-help guru. After barely surviving a trap meant to murder him, Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) is out for revenge on Jigsaw's (Tobin Bell) ex-wife Jill (Betsy Russell). But much like its predecessors, it ended on a bit of a cliffhanger moment – leading us directly into Saw VII, or as it is more sadly referred to, Saw 3D.

Instead of merely hinting at things, we were getting full explanations, things began to make sense, and the movie on the whole was just a very satisfying and very enjoyable film.

Where the other films quickly became standard exercises in torture and brutality, it was the first film in the series that really made an attempt at building and elaborating the overarching storyline that had been developed over the entire series.

Sean Patrick Flanery, new to the series, plays this episode’s designated hypocrite, whose sin is pretending to be a victim of the serial torturer and killer Jigsaw to profit from the connection. Kevin Greutert’s “Saw 3D,” focused on tying up loose ends and bringing the tale full circle, is probably the most straightforward of the seven films and most consistently (though not inventively) violent. (The standard reaction in theaters to these payoff scenes is laughter and cheers.) The one distinctive thing about the films has been their Dadaist quality, brought about by a concentration on elaborate, self-referential game-playing at the expense of story and logic.
The “Saw” franchise has always produced meretricious garbage, with a claim to moral complexity that serves as a fig leaf while we enjoy the sight of limbs being hacked off and heads exploding. Before they pack up the bear traps and latex flesh, though, they’ve left us a digestif: “Saw 3D,” the seventh and presumably last film in the series. The people behind the “Saw” movies have made us a promise: no more “Saw” movies.
