All told, this is a more affecting study in grief, guilt and human frailty than Babel.

God or Jack Valenti only knows how this work of pure entertainment got an R rating 'for strong grisly violence and gore, sequences of terror and torture, nudity and language.'
Rob Nelson, Village Voice
Rotten
Because of its efforts to make sense of the previous entries and even attempt an earnest parable about forgiveness, Saw III may be the best of the trilogy; hopefully, it'll encourage its makers to wrap the franchise on a relatively high note.
Scott Tobias, AV Club

Even splatter-film buffs should be offended by this piece of nonsense: Not because it's so gross, but because it's so dumb.
Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic

The second Saw sequel develops the mythology of sadistic puppet-master Jigsaw in ambitious, gruesome but ultimately self-defeating ways.
