Touch

Supposedly a satire of American religious hypocrisy, Touch never really finds its tonal centre, and scenes that should tap into absurdist humour are given an overly dour treatment due to Schrader's inability to be funny. Skeet Ulrich is bland in the lead, especially when he isn't blatantly imitating Depp, and Fonda is dull too. Walken and Arnold are entertaining to watch because their characters are closer to the spirit of the material, which Schrader completely misinterprets.
