I received the Sony Region A blu-ray release of the Diane Lane thriller "UNTRACEABLE" this morning and just watched it.
The film is quite an exciting, intense and atmospheric serial killer thriller from director Greg Hoblit (Primal Fear, Fracture, Frequency) and starring Diane Lane.
It has many "Se7en"-esque bits to it and it has a gritty and brooding atmosphere to it. Diane Lane is excellent and there are some pretty sick and disturbing deaths in it too.
The blu-ray disc plays fine in both my Region A PS3 and my Region 2 standalone player (so the disc is multi-region)!!! Cool!
The picture is pin-sharp and very, very detailed... every gross blister on the burns victim is resolved in awesome clarity. The film is very dark and drab so there is no colourful scenes but it has a very 3D picture.
The sound is also very clear and involving. The creepy score is all around the room and there is much discrete surround activity from the back of the room. The bottom end and bass is very powerful and unsettling. The film has a few action scenes but it is not an action movie so no real fireworks. But a very effective DolbyTrueHD soundtrack all the same.
The extras are excellent and very interesting. The PIP works superbly well.
Recommended if you like effective and realistic thrillers in the vein as "Se7en" and "Silence of the Lambs". Good disc too.
