Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Morally 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.
