Untraceable

"I’m tired of these sadistic horror movies. I just don’t enjoy sitting in a cinema watching people burn to death, get hacked to pieces, or have their eyeballs melted with a blowtorch."

"In addition to being dull, Untraceable is a monster hypocrite, wagging its finger at the mass audience's appetite for... 'creative' torture scenarios. This film is not really in a position to point a finger."

"Suspense remains at a minimum."

"Unfolding like a better-than-average episode of a first-rate TV police procedural, Untraceable is a satisfying slice of solidly crafted meat-and-potatoes filmmaking."

"You may view Untraceable, as I do, as a repugnant example of the voyeurism it pretends to condemn."

"This film isn't for the faint-hearted, the torture methods used in this film are disturbing and Hoblit hasn't held back from making them as gruesome as he can."

"Highly watchable, anchored sturdily by Lane's convincing performance."

"A competent suspenser, helped by the always-dependable Diane Lane, but it suffers by following the modern thriller playbook to the letter."

"Embarrassingly for the film's makers, when it came to the crucial denouement, the audience roused from its benumbed stupor only to laugh out loud derisively at the preposterous final act in this tawdry play. Not the desired result for a serious crime thriller, one imagines."

"Diane Lane does away with glam in Untraceable. She tosses back her unkempt locks and crawls into the darkest, dingiest corners of cyberspace to find a killer who invites surfers to log on and participate. Even in this bedraggled state, she lends a touch of class to an otherwise tacky thriller by Gregory Hoblit. Still, that's not enough to distract from a plot which, despite a hi-tech premise, feels as if it's been patched together using 'auto-fill' screenwriting software."
