Okay, I agree it has a lot of bad stuff in this movie, like demented/syko people and violence but that is why some people like it. Obviously, there arnt role models in this video, and i dont think any kid in their right mind would think there were (because they should be discustd by what is going on). if they do think that, then you have another issue on your hands bigger than this movie. I say if your kid really wants to watch it, let them watch it. Telling them they cant until they are over 17 is kindof too clingy of the parent, because if YOU dont let them watch it you know they will at someone else's house anyways. My thought is that as long as they arnt turning evil on me, and they like this stuff then they can watch it. And if it scares the crap out of them, then at least they will learn they dont want to watch movies like that anymore. I think this is a fine movie for your kid if they want to watch it, obviously not under 14 though... but 17, guys thats just crazy. you can't control your kids forever- let them experiance things- let them get scared.

The Saw movies have a really bad rep, and I felt the need to point out (for all who will believe me) that it only deserves half of that rep. Is it every bit as bloody, horrifying, awful to watch, and nasty as you think? No. Actually, it's worse on all counts. No, really. Is it mindless torture porn? Absolutely not. Saw has a story -- and a very decent one, if you enjoy psychological horror -- and usually has valid reasons for turning the gore dial to 11. Occasionally it doesn't have those valid reasons (hence the 4/5 stars), but most of the violence isn't gratuitous, and those who think it is show their ignorance of the extremely complicated and layered plot (I can completely understand if you couldn't stand to watch it long enough to get the plot, but don't judge on what you haven't seen, please). I really enjoy the serial storyline -- you have to have been on board since the first movie to understand what's going on, and every movie keeps the audience on their toes and requires sustained and careful attention to appreciate the various stomach-dropping endings. Saw wrestles with some really interesting psychology and has some great characters. I don't think it's appropriate for children with the exception of the particularly-mature mid-to-late teen, but there's a lot to like here if things like Dexter or Law and Order are up your alley. At the "invincible age" where teenagers often make reckless decisions, there are good things to learn here if put into the proper context. I agree with Tobin Bell ("Jigsaw") that anything that makes young people ask questions like, "how would I live differently if today were my last chance?" is a good thing. Don't say there's no story just because you can't keep your eyes open long enough to get the story. These films are not torture porn.

Who comes up with this?
Boobs gets the same amount of sexual content ranking as having a crush. Do you guys even watch these shows and movies or just the previews? Cause you never have anything about the story in the review. Also who in the hello came up with torture porn?

Saw Vl
This movie is not even worth watching. Not even if a friend offers you a free ticket, unless your literally dying from bordum. Its a gorfest, but has terrible acting, seemily boring tortures, and just a poorly made movie. They should have stopped the Saw movies at 2.

Really intriguing story is told considering the flawed Health Care System, but because it is SAW we see its message coated in blood, guts, and splintering bones. Also the Hoffman storyline reaches a climax, but of course in SAW fashion that climax is the final shot of the movie. I am looking forward to SAW VII in theaters October 22, 2010.
