And today we are covering Saw V, which was released in 2008 and was directed by David Hackle.

So I'm your host, Alec, and joining me again is Matt Banever.

Welcome back, Matt.

This is the first one where it felt very by the numbers.

Almost.

It didn't have, this is a new director, David Hackle, a first time, not first time director completely.

I think, I don't think it was his first drink.

it is his first time isn't that what you oh it is yeah

just embrace it man

oh i'm enjoying it the whole way but that's gonna be part of the thing well i mean i still like three i didn't like as much but like i really like where this movie goes i like the cat and mouse between the two detectives and you know him trying to figure out that hoffman is actually the the murderer and then hoffman is trying to blame the other guy like i thought that was amazing work i'm

i'm gonna echo his echo bill's uh sentiments here it is definitely not as visually stylistic as the other honestly as the last three two three and four uh really did benefit from darren bousman's uh direction but even though this is david hackles first directorial debut he's no slouch he was the second unit director on saws three and four as well as the production designer on saw two three and four and

[laughs]

[laughs] Directed by David Hackl, written by Guy Mosha and JR Reher, starring James Marsden, Thomas Jane, Piper Perabo, uh, Billy Bob Thornton, amongst others.

Yeesh.

Yeah.

[laughs]

Choice of actors, yeah.

Um, but also I think because the director, uh, Michael, David Hackl, I think he's done a lot of TV.

I think at least.
