Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
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

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Undeniably Mediocre
Untraceable? You mean UNreal and UNbelievable. Everything that's been done before is done all over again and done badly. The dialogue is one of the worst, you'll find yourself cringing over some of the lines said in places where no one in their right mind would utter in the particular situation. Even worse cringing over how poorly acted some of the supporting cast delivers those lines. The saving grace? Diane lane for one, does a good job at pulling it off and keeping us interested as well as just the right sprinkle of suspense to keep you peeled to the screen long enough to get to the end debating on if it was worth it or not.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - I want a server that robust!
I understand I have to suspend my disbelief with movies like this, but I wasn't interested enough in the characters to make it worth the effort. And it's not about the people tuning in; a troll through the videos on the internet make it obvious that people would watch it, though I have a hard time believing there were 12 million viewers and the load doesn't crash the site. It's more about the FBI's inability to take down a website. I find that... highly unlikely. Still, I could have overlooked it (goodness knows I'm no computer expert, perhaps it's possible, but there are plenty of governments out there blocking a lot more than a single website...) had the rest of the story been compelling or interesting enough to make me care. If I cared at all about the characters in the story. But I didn't. They were flat and boring and I honestly cared more about his first victim than I did all the others put together.

I suppose there was some high, moral message to the story, in the end, but it was so smothered in... fluff and tedium that it lost any real meaning. It felt like Saw or Hostel without the gore (okay, there was a little bit of icky, but nothing compared to the levels of those movies). Which leave you with a vague plot, some action sequences, and a lukewarm, predictable ending. It's fine for an evening when there's nothing on, or for watching with a group of friends (and throwing popcorn at the screen), but overall you won't be missing out much if you pass it by.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Watch out now, take care, beware
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.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Another dose of poison for our society
This movie provides a look into the world of a very disturbed person who tortures people and displays this over the internet. Is this really something we all need to watch? Don't we have quite enough real life tortures of the human body and spirit going on in our world? Why is this considered "entertainment"? It is sad to see in one generation how we have gone from the Turner Classic type movies (Clark Gable, etc, etc,) to movies where watching someone slowly tortured on a website is a possibility. Sure torture has been around forever, but it was never in my home and in my mind like this movie delivers. I regret having seen it.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Silence of the Lambs It Ain't!
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.
