Untraceable fuses Saw with The Net in a perverse yet moralistic story about a psychopath who broadcasts acts of torture over the internet--all to better reveal the twisted underbelly of the American public, who hasten the victims' deaths simply by looking at the website. FBI agent Jennifer Marsh (Diane Lane, her mature-sexy mojo tamped down but still simmering in the corners of her eyes and the nape of her neck) launches a cyberhunt for the killer, only to find herself and her team caught up in his murderous scheme. It's hard to make tapping on a keyboard and staring at a computer screen exciting, but Untraceable does its best by making Marsh and her cybercrimebusting partner (Colin Hanks, King Kong) rattle off cascades of jaunty techno-jargon and do impressive bits of long-distance surveillance. The movie aims for the audience that flocked to see Ashley Judd in thrillers like Kiss the Girls and Double Jeopardy, but it's hard to say if fans of Lane's romantic fare like Under the Tuscan Sun or Must Like Dogs will enjoy the queasy violence. Nonetheless, the cast--including Mary Beth Hurt (The World According to Garp) as Marsh's mother--does a solid job and the movie clips along at an aggressive pace, maintaining tension throughout. --Bret Fetzer

Watch out now, take care, beware July 19, 2008
This piece of hokum should come with a disclaimer about not taking it too seriously.

Seriously, although there are a number of issues arising from this movie, not least of which is how a laptop's files would have information about the home's plough, but the macabre interest the general population has in watching people suffer and die, you cannot really take this movie as anything more that shock and gore entertainment.

I am reminded of a science fiction story where viewers participate in how a subject feels whilst undergoing difeerent physical stimuli. One leading exponent of these empathetic experiences is eventually made to suffer his own experience while millions share in his death.

The scarcely credible adventure is certainly worth a watch but does not stand up to any sort of scruting.

Silence of the Lambs It Ain't! July 18, 2008
Eh. So-so thriller with a really bland perfomance by Diane Lane and probably nobody else you've ever heard of. (MaryBeth Hurt, maybe, but she really just sits around and sighs). The deaths are fairly gruesome if that's what your looking for but the plot is predictable and it lacks any real energy.

Interesting Cyber-Thriller July 18, 2008
Diane Lane stars as FBI Agent Jennifer Marsh who finds herself dealing with the unthinkable. A sadistic killer is torturing his victims and posting it on the internet. The pace at which his victims die depends on the number of visitors to the site.

"Untraceable" starts off slow and dull, but the movie quickens with the same pace at which the victims meet their demise. As original as a story "Untraceable" is, it slightly resembles "Saw" and "Silence of the Lambs." See if you can piece together the puzzle before it unravels. Great cyber-thriller, its worth a watch. 3.5 out of 5.

Good Old Horror Movie July 16, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

If you don't know the plot, see the Amazon description. The advertising sells it as a thriller, and many of the reviews link it to Saw (definitely horror) and some of the Ashley Judd fare. But this movie is really more thoroughly connected to John Carpenter's Halloween. Watch this, then watch that. For example, the lighting. As with Halloween, most of the action takes places at night, and even the daytime action takes place in heavily overcast daylight, leaving washed out colors, and an almost black-and-white feel to the movie. Second, the music. Anyone who ever watched Halloween remembers the score, and Untraceable's score sounds eerily like it. Then there's the bad guy. With his blank white face, especially in a few scenes, he looks very much like the killer in Halloween. Then there are the lead females. Granted, Jamie Lee Curtis was twenty years old when Halloween was released, and Diane Lane is in her forties. But again, watch this, then watch that. There are a number of scenes in which Diane Lane's character looks much like the Jamie Lee character.

The story moves along quite nicely, with solid performances all around. I'm not enough of a geek to know whether the internet stuff that was being done in the movie can actually be done, but it worked in the context of the movie. The only thing that bothered me was (POSSIBLE SPOILER COMING) Marsh getting into her SUV without checking the back seat after being stalled on the bridge. That seemed implausible.

All in all, a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours.

The Visions Of The Even Darker Side Of The Internet July 12, 2008
When Untraceable was first released in the cinema, I'm sure a lot of people thought that this was just another "gorno" Saw rip off. In some senses it is, but in others it gives us something much more intelligent rather than blood and guts. It portrays the true darker side of the internet for which I fear and know there are websites that thrive of the death and torture of others. I'm not saying these sites kill but they capitalise off the dead and that's just as bad as these people who view and enjoy such content are just as guilty as those doing the killing.

Anyway, enough of the sentimentality I think I need to get around to talking about the movie. The original trailer for this movie tried to make it look like a sick horror movie that puts a twist on the already popular Saw franchise. Let me tell you, it's nothing of the sort. It's a very different breed of torture movie and in a sense, that's a good thing. Diane Lane plays FBI Agent Jennifer Marsh, who works in the internet devision locating and shutting down illegally operating sites. One day while in the office she's given a site to look at, a site which she thinks is just another routine run is something she's never encountered before. The site is called KillWithMe.com and it has real people placed in torturous situations and the more people that visit the site, the quicker the victim dies. The site, even in the watchful eye of the FBI is "Untraceable" and can't even be shut down due to the use of a number of clever internet tactics.

This is quite a slow running movie and is placed more around the characters rather than the torture aspect of the story. This, in my opinion is a very good thing as it allows for character progression and much better story telling. The movie isn't perfect but it gives us something that we can all learn from and that's be cautious of the internet. Sure, there aren't sites out there that kill people... Yet. A line in the movie summed the feeling up perfectly when it was said that soon TV will broadcast live executions and even charge people to watch it. I have no doubt that this is a possibility, just look at the number of movies that focus on blood and guts released in the last 5 years. We're being desensitised to violence, blood and guts and it will come to a point where we come to view another persons death as mere entertainment. Watch this film as it's a worthy 1 and a half hour spent but don't expect anything edge of your seat dramatic.
