 Rating:  - Lame Movie that has no thrillsI have just three questions for the writers of this movie: 1.-How can a FBI computer crimes agent only use the computer three maybe four times in a movie about the internet?; 2.-How does a FBI computer crimes agent not have a secure wireless network and also lets her seven just turned eight year old daughter download anything off the net; and finally, 3.-As a woman, an FBI agent, and the widow of a cop how does she not close her curtains at night in her house? I mean the killer just sat outside her house and watched her. As I write this I've just thought of another question that came to me. Why would she have secure FBI files on her laptop and not a firewall to be found. And please enough of the troubled but brillant killers. A little thought and research would have done this movie well. Did she not have any friends who were hackers that could have helped out. What's up with talking on unsecure phone lines when you know you are dealing with a computer whiz. Enough. Just a really dumb and lazily written movie. For a good cyber-crime thriller read the Blue Nowhere by Jeffery Deaver. Rating:  - SURPRISE , you've seen it all before1. the very smart killer stays several steps ahead of the authorities . 2. the characters we are spoon fed an emotional investment in are abducted and dispatched . 3. the colleagues look on appalled and helpless . 4. the lead detective (a female model) has a heterosexual fellow officer with no personal life and an enormous moral compass . 5. she's very resourceful (particularly after making horrible decisions) I.E. re-entering a vehicle disabled by the killer . 6. the detective must see the case through to its' bitter end (regardless of personal safety and/or the counsel of fellow and senior officers) . 7. deductions are timely and digital-clock-precise provided the lead detective is in danger . 8. roll credits . rinse and repeat as needed . Rating: - Nice package, could have been better.Diane Lane starts as an FBI cyber-crimes investigator, part of an elite super high-tech unit within the Buerau, dedicated to investigate cyber criminals, where it's of the utmost importance that you catch the perpetrator in the act. She comes across a gritty lady, who still misses her recently deceased husband, and who, along with her daughter and mother is part of a woman-only household, happily managing life. Things begin to pick up when a site somes up, where torture death is purported to be shown, the catch being that the higher the hit-rate on the website, the faster will be the death. The FBI is clueless about the origins of this site, hence the name of the movie. The throwing-around of tech jargon does unsettle quite a few, but one must admit that the most tech-illiterate would not find the movie hard to follow despite it all. The pace as well as tension is maintained, and the stakes are raised higher, when after successfully experimenting with a cat, the website targets a man. What follows is some really grisly, and I must add quite imaginative, "online" murder scenes, and some impressive old-fashioned detective work. All in all, "Untraceable" comes across as a grim reminder of the modern day Internet-ophile who survives off the WWW, no matter what is being served. The topic of the general public feeding on the sadistic website is reminscent of the video of an erstwhile famous reporter, whose last moments were also put on the famous Net, and hungrily gobbled down ...

Diane Lane plays a cyber crimes investigator who, along with Colin Hanks, come up against the greatest tech felon that they've ever seen. He's killing people live on the internet, and using the traffic to the site to expedite the murders. The suspense is kept steady through the entire film, and the plot is revealed a piece at a time and will leave you guessing. The story begins to fall apart slightly towards the end, but it's strong until that point. The violence in this film is similar to "torture flicks" (like Saw etc.). Definitely not for kids. Rating:  - CYBER CRIME TO THE EXTREMEIt seems today that people will watch almost any and everything they can find online. Sites that promise titillation, sites that offer fetishes, sites that offer the most gruesome acts that man can do to man proliferate the internet. UNTRACEABLE takes that idea and runs with it Diane Lane stars as Jennifer Marsh, an FBI agent in the Portland, OR who specializes in cyber crimes. Whether it's illegal downloads or identity theft, Marsh and her co-workers filter through the online conundrum to track down the criminals and bring them down. By way of an anonymous tip, the team is sent to a website called Kill With Me. At first it seems a bit twisted as a kitten is lured to its death, the process sped up as more and more people click on to the site. It takes a more tragic end when a human becomes the next victim. The first victim is tied up, the web site address carved into his chest and an IV running and anti-coagulant into his bloodstream in higher dosages the more viewers the site gets. Eventually he bleeds to death and the FBI agents take the site more seriously. The killer behind the site is skilled not only in the machinations of death but in the use of computers as well. He reroutes his web site through numerous servers around the world making the origin of the site untraceable (thus the title). Each victim seems to be unconnected with the previous one. And with each victim the popularity, the curiosity of viewers grows to the point ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
