Police procedural meets torture pornsleazy and absurd rather than
Police procedural meets torture pornsleazy and absurd rather than clever and surprising. Is it really ethical for a film to warn of the irresistible appeal of online snuff films while it simultaneously indulges, practically pornographically, in graphic displays of the same sort of kinky perversion? Untraceable dvd This new variation on the theme isnt bad, in a gruesome and horrible way, and features a strong performance from Diane Lane as an FBI agent. This tepid, borderline offensive cyber-serial killer thriller takes what feels like ages to rehash both better and worse examples of the current, vapid clamor for so-called torture porn. Untraceable often seems to go out of its way to tip off whats coming, so that its hard to tell whether the films writers are lazy, clumsy or just painfully obvious. Boring, hypocritical, and didactic, Untraceable is an exercise in tut-tutting the audience for being curious about the very stuff the film traffics in.
