Untraceable

Not a lot of choices at the theaters I visit this week. But, I like Diane Lane, this seemed like a thriller, so I wanted to see it. It was not any good. If the standard of torture porn is the Saw and Hostel series, I suppose we could call this soft core torture porn. There were some gruesome torture scenes, but they did not take over the whole movie. They were enough to make me uncomfortable with them, though. The story was interesting and it gave me some thought about Free Speech and the nature of allowable content on the internet, but I'm not sure it's point on the matter was cogent enough. I know how I feel about it, but I don't know what they thought about it. While they hinted at the issue, the filmmakers did not actually make a statement of any sort. Not good, but not revolting.
