“Saw X” (**1/2 out of four) was one of the better entries in this never-ending series about the dying John Cramer/Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) who is diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer and travels to Mexico to meet with a doctor (Synnove Macody Lund) for a risky medical treatment but soon finds that this is a fraudulent program to scam the elderly and vulnerable and re-starts his torture chamber techniques to enact bloodthirsty revenge. More character development and subtlety than earlier entries and Bell is strong as always but film (as expected) eventually loses its way in bloody gore and ugliness in its final third although that’s probably what you’re paying for. Film actually takes place between the original “Saw” and “Saw II” for anyone keeping chronology.
