Saw X

"There’s more talking and less torturing; I personally approve of that ratio, though I’m not sure it will pay off at the box office."

"Sick and twisted, and those are the selling points."

"This is a movie for the dedicated freaks, and on that level, it's a major success."

"A milestone sequel that goes back to the franchise’s roots to a deeply satisfying degree."

"Saw X is the most shocking thing in the franchise yet: a decent movie."

"It’d be hard to call any element of Saw X original but returning director Kevin Greutert knows what’ll satisfy his audience."

"Those minded to put themselves through it are unlikely to leave disappointed, though giving deli counters a wide berth for a week or two is advised."

"A solid entry that will delight the armchair sadists out there."

"We’ve seen enough."

"20 years on, Jigsaw still has some tricks up his sleeve."

"Brutal, self-aware, and roughly 30 minutes too long."

"Fizzles out a little in the third act, but a bloody fun time."

"X must surely mark the spot Jigsaw finally rests in pieces."

"Easily one of the best-crafted in the series and the genre."

"The focus on Kramer's vulnerability and human side sits at odds with his awful judgmentalism. Let monsters be monsters."

"(Saw X) makes you wish that a Saw film would finally let Amanda be the one that audiences worship."
