Untraceable dvd is a thriller about computers that was probably written by one. Some viewers might find the Hostel-style splatter hard to stomach while, for a smart cop, Lane sure does some dumb things. 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. A competent suspenser, helped by the always-dependable Diane Lane, but it suffers by following the modern thriller playbook to the letter. Untraceable essentially forces its audience to identify with those who would be willing accomplices to torture and murder.
