Forget Jack Bauer, our glamorous Jenna Busch was able to extract tons of intel on the new 24 without pulling a gun, breaking a finger, or injecting any flourescent green fluids into 24 star Carlo Rota (Morris) at the Saw V red carpet. Rota was all too willing to discuss the upcoming season of 24, but did he reveal too much? Let’s hope Rota fares a little better with Jack than he did Jigsaw.

The biggest problem with Saw V, when you get right down to it, is that it’s Saw V. The franchise is now past the point where a new installment can conceivably offer anything new while still staying true to its predecessors, and the result is a movie that feels like a placeholder till part six comes out a year from now.
(At least one significant plot thread is left dangling and unresolved when V is over, as if to assure there’ll be butts in seats come next Halloween.)
Saw V is not quite as befuddling as Saw IV, with its head-spinning final series of parallel flashbacks, but it’s even more dependent on revisiting scenes from Jigsaw’s past. The intent is to shed more light on the villain’s methods and motivations, but it largely comes off as a contrived excuse to keep signature actor Tobin Bell involved.
