	Author	Review
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Considering the long amount of time since the last installment, you'd think that more effort would have been put into creatively reviving the franchise. But 'Jigsaw' just seems rote and mechanical"	NEG
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"For 92 minutes, it more or less succeeds in sawing through your boredom, slicing and dicing with a glum explicitness that raises the occasional tingle of gross-out suspense but no longer carries any kick of true shock value."	NEU
United States	Kyle Turner The Wrap	"There are a couple of impressive set pieces in 'Jigsaw', but the traps seem fairly rudimentary, and it’s up to the camera work to provide the needed jolts."	NEU
United States	Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"'Jigsaw' isn’t awful. It’ll do the job for anyone who must see a “Saw” movie in theaters on Halloween weekend. But a trip to a real-world escape room — or rewatching the original 'Saw' — might be a better use of time and money."	NEU
United States	Michael Nordine IndieWire	"This 'Saw' reboot resurrects a deadly game nobody wants to play — especially not the audience"	NEG
United States	Scott Mendelson Forbes	"'Jigsaw' is another low point in a horror franchise (...) lacking the gritty texture and often goofy characters that have helped make this continuity-drenched franchise such a quirky kick."	NEG
United Kingdom	Kim Newman Empire	"If you don’t like 'Saw', this isn’t going to change your mind – but it’s skilful, satisfying schlock and respectful of its fanbase. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Cath Clarke The Guardian	"A slick soulless horror flick just in time for Halloween, more trick than treat. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
