Sinopsis(1)
El infame John Kramer (Tobin Bell) regresa por todo lo alto con la entrega más salvaje de la franquicia y el juego más personal de Jigsaw hasta la fecha. Situada entre los acontecimientos sucedidos en Saw y Saw II, John, desesperado y enfermo, viaja a México para someterse a un tratamiento experimental y muy arriesgado con la esperanza de curar su cáncer mortal. Sin embargo, toda la operación resulta ser un fraude para engañar a aquellos más vulnerables. Lleno de rabia y con un nuevo y escabroso propósito, John retomará su trabajo como asesino en serie y dará a probar su propia medicina a los embaucadores. Bajo la atenta mirada de Jigsaw, los jóvenes se enfrentaran a las trampas más ingeniosas, mortales y tortuosas en un visceral y despiadado juego. (DeAPlaneta)

En un metraje de dos horas, Saw X primero intenta ser un drama sobre una persona que se está muriendo de cáncer, y luego quiere noquear con giros sofisticados, lo cual es inútil debido a la omnipresente torpeza en el guion y la dirección. Con lo de la torpeza me refiero a la estilización de un sádico asesino en masa como un mártir y juez con quien debemos simpatizar mientras busca un tratamiento que le salve la vida; y ante quien después cruzaremos los dedos en la masacre de quienes lo han engañado. Al mismo tiempo, el castigo del personaje del villano principal, que esperamos durante toda la película, es el menos "satisfactorio". Con lo de la torpeza me refiero a la escena cómicamente exagerada con las tripas, o que a los personajes no se les ocurre girar la cabeza hacia un lado cuando les riegan con sangre para que no les llegue a la cara. Por no hablar de las habilidades quirúrgicas de una de las víctimas. Por mucho que me gustan las PELÍCULAS DE TERROR más que a la mayoría de los espectadores, me molesta mucho más cuando son tratadas como un género para idiotas.

Me gusta mucho la serie Saw, especialmente en la primera década de este siglo, durante su mayor revuelo, literalmente la devoraba. Tengo que decir, que después de los años que han pasado, ya no la devoro tanto, porque me gustan otras cosas, pero todavía la disfruto, así que no me importa llamar Saw mi serie preferida. Tenía curiosidad por la décima película, pero estaba preocupado por sus dos horas de duración. Después de verla, puedo decir que no tengo ningún problema con ese metraje y que se justifica dentro de la narrativa. Saw X no desarrolla de ninguna manera los eventos anteriores, al contrario, realmente se centra en John Kramer: nos lo presenta con mayor profundidad, analiza su perfil psicológico en detalle e incluso nos muestra su humanidad y vulnerabilidad en toda su extensión. En la primera parte, la trama no va a ninguna parte, se necesita tiempo para construir una base sólida para eventos posteriores. Es una película de Saw, por supuesto, así que en algún momento se rompe y se nos presenta lo que todos esperamos y exigimos de la serie en una secuencia abarrotada y cabe señalar que algunas de las trampas son extremadamente intensas, por lo que los espectadores hambrientos de sangre y carnicería sin duda estarán súper felices. Una trampa en particular, la que se enfoca en el cerebro (me recordó a la escena legendaria de Hannibal), destacaría como lo mejor que la serie jamás haya producido: unos minutos realmente extremamente intensos que me pusieron bien nervioso. Naturalmente, los fans de la serie deben estar satisfechos, no podría haber resultado mejor. Si este supuestamente es el último episodio con Tobin Bell, entonces salió de maravilla. Por cierto: De las diez piezas del rompecabezas, creo que solo Saw VIII es una mierda, lo cual es un milagro para una serie tan prolífica.

Certainly better than I expected when the next Saw was announced (the best since the sixth installment), but at the same time not so good that I understand the surprisingly high ratings across film databases. It benefits from the fact that Jigsaw's main antagonist is an incredible bastard, and that the film thus breaks slightly from the existing template by making Kramer and his sidekicks the protagonists. It would have worked better, though, in my opinion, if this approach had come right after the first original episode. It's too late now, especially knowing all that's been (and will be) going on, and this is really an unplanned padding made out of necessity after the creators eliminated the villain too soon, driving the series into a dead end in which it has hopelessly sunk deeper and deeper over time.

Oh yeah!! Saw X is a pleasant surprise for me and the franchise is back in full force. I personally like this franchise a lot, it's a nice showcase of gore and torture with a high level of craftsmanship and we rarely see it in such quality, but here I have to appreciate that the film can once again work as a dense revenge psycho-thriller and the return of the iconic serial killer Jigsaw is the best thing that could have happened to the franchise. This is actually a very personal revenge and John Kramer is actually portrayed as a good guy who even the viewer is tempted to root for (because his victims are also pretty big bastards that you wish dead) and I loved that nice contrast. I enjoyed Jigsaw's background, even though the introduction is a bit slower, but, what the hell, Jigsaw is such a cool character that he is entertaining even if he doesn't set traps and torture. From the second half onwards it's the same old Saw we love with all that goes with it. The traps are once again well thought out and inventive (it's really crazy what they’ve been able to come up with in these 10 episodes), the gore is beautiful and very intense (I have to say that even I as a blood lover was a bit uncomfortable this time, and I've seen a lot), all that leg cutting and brain scratching will stick in my head for a long time. The return of Amanda was also a delight, adding a nice nostalgic spice to the film, and the closer the film got to the end (the iconic soundtrack started playing and the cool twists started rolling again), I couldn't be dissatisfied. I do have a minor complaint about the finale (the sneaky bitch definitely deserved something utterly morbid, but on the other hand there is room for another installment where they can once again go all out). I have to say that I had great fun for the first time in a while, I devoured every second of it and I'd happily watch it again in a heartbeat. Together with Evil Dead Rise the clear winners of this year's Gore section. 8.5/10.

After all these years, here it is, and after the efforts to modernize and Hollywood-ify the two previous installments, here is good old Saw as we know it. Well, maybe with the difference that the dirty camera filter has been dropped and instead of jumping from one "trap scene" to another, Saw X focuses more on a single room with four people, and in addition to the quantity of traps, it goes more for quality and presents us with a pretty rich background of all the victims, so your hatred and satisfaction at their deaths is well taken care of. Similarly, I appreciate the first 45-minute warm-up which reveals Kramer's motives and after which it's straight to the point and full speed ahead to the finale. The film has an idea, it makes great use of the Mexico theme, the dirty garage and the eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth revenge, and the more it races towards the end, the more it picks up the pace. But the biggest pleasure is definitely the twist at the end and the literally breathtaking turn that shocked like a bitch, changed the whole game and left me gaping. Up until then the film was riding an already entertaining enough wave, and then comes this unexpected blow that just ripped my balls off and I was screaming inwardly with joy like a little kid. The gore and the traps are ingenious, we get Jigsaw's clues in the form of his verbal metaphors, Kramer is given a huge amount of room to develop his character and there's a mini-cameo from Hoffman in addition to Amanda, so the film nicely ticks off all the audience's desires at once. I was convinced of a strong four stars all along, but I can't go other than full score for the ending. Horror event of the year and proper fanservice. Oh, and we have a post-credit scene!

The story is actually a sequel to the first film... And I quite liked the direction the creators of the series took. I really had no idea what to expect from Saw X. The first half was rather slow-paced (which isn't standard for this series... that change was refreshing). But then it hit hard. John Kramer broke loose! The traps were once again meticulously designed (some surprised with their brutality). And the ending? The central twist worked. Yeah, nobody’s going to take down Kramer easily. I give it a solid 7/10. P.S. The post-credits scene deserves a star.
