Frank Scheck
Despite the essentially formulaic nature of the proceedings, the film does boast some nasty twists that prove galvanizing.
Michael Nordine
By the time half the contestants have been offed you may be less interested in who will win than when it will all be over.
Dennis Harvey
Real suspense and shocks are MIA in a movie that's eventful but lacks the atmospherics needed to be scary.
Gary Goldstein
Though the dialogue is pretty basic and the narrative dots don't always quite connect, "The Human Race," in its own gutsy, grindhouse-movie way, manages style, vision and tension.
Kathryn Ashcraft
Loved it. Great film. Has a dash of The Long Walk mixed with Battle Royale and a twist.

Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) might be dead, but his traps live on in this fifth Saw entry, which finds the series' production designer David Hackl at the helm for his debut directing gig. Costas Mandylor reprises his role as Hoffman, the detective whose involvement in the string of grisly murders turns out to be more than meets the eye. Picking up where the fourth entry left off, Hoffman is revealed to be a hidden accomplice in Jigsaw's grisly games of death, which look to be continued by the lawman. The plot bounces back and forth from the beginning of their relationship to the present, as Agent Strahm (Scott Patterson) delves farther into the case. Also in the cast are Dexter's Julie Benz and One Missed Call's Meagan Good as victims of another one of Jigsaw's lessons in morality. Saw IV scribes Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan return to pen the screenplay for the Twisted Pictures/Lionsgate co-production.
