You know something ain't kosher when a movie purporting to offer a critique of sadistic voyeurism opens with a hand-rubbing scene of kitten abuse.
Top CriticMorally duplicitous torture porn: how else to describe Untraceable, a bleak, rain-washed horror thriller.
This joyless thriller runs the gamut from unconscionable through unwatchable to unendurable. It's also unfathomable that two talented people, Diane Lane and her director, Gregory Hoblit, got themselves involved in such an unpromising enterprise.
Untraceable feels sleazy and gratuitous.
Untraceable demonstrates, once again, how unnecessary it is for audiences actually to understand technical jargon.
Untraceable really is disgraceable.
Untraceable boasts a respected director (Gregory Hoblit of Fracture and Primal Fear), and a popular movie star (Diane Lane) but it's still about people getting tortured to death.
Untraceable is prototype Internet conspiracy drivel, with a hackneyed plot years too late and a simple premise of good cops and innocents against sickos.
Cookie cutter police procedural with a Hostel tinge.
Neither terrifying nor inspiring.
While certainly compelling in terms of drawing you into the story, Untraceable has a number of nagging narrative flaws.
If you aren't a fan of scary thrillers, you're going to want to give this one a wide berth. But if you're aching for your next dose of suspense drama adrenaline, Untraceable may just do the trick.
Previsível e desinteressante, tenta contornar a trama clichê com cenas que investem na violência gráfica, mas sem sucesso.
Violent torture thriller puts blame on the media.
Bah! What a lame-o thriller.
