GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Justin Easton There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

corrientes123 The plot is original and in certain ways prescient for being a 2008 movie. Apart from the gross scenes, the only thing I didn't like was the stupid mistakes that the FBI agents apparently made. Maybe erring is human, but that didn't make that much sense.

tomsview I am always amazed at how inventive serial killers are in movies. In reality serial killers use fairly unimaginative methods in their crimes, and get away with them mostly through sheer luck. Even when they taunt the police with a note, they more often than not reveal a challenged level of literacy. But in movies, the planning and engineering skills of the average serial killer are on a par with putting a man on the moon. "Untraceable" is a case in point.Jennifer Marsh (Diane Lane), an FBI agent involved in detecting cybercrime discovers a serial killer using an Internet site to set up his victims. The film has an unpleasant premise in that the murders only happen if viewers log on, which they do despite pleas not to from the authorities. The film posits a very jaundiced view of society, becoming somewhat preachy on the subject. Much of what happens though is straight out of the Serial Killer Movie Manual, especially the head FBI guy taking a while to get on board with Jennifer's warnings.A single-mother back-story and a quirky offsider with victim written all over him help fill out the space between the credits. One break from the formula is that the murders all involve guys and aren't sexual in nature, a point of difference with 99 per cent of serial killer movies. Usually the most watchable part of this kind of thing is the detection element, and in this case the tracking sequences are the highlights of the movie. The ending is definitely drawn from the manual as the cops close in on the killer - you hardly need to watch the screen to know how it ends.As long as you don't expect a "Se7en", or a "Silence of the Lambs", "Untraceable" is not the worst serial killer thriller, however, it does take itself just a little too seriously - no wonder the critics thought its 'message' was hypocritical.

BA_Harrison Silence of the Lambs meets Saw in this contrived hi-tech serial killer thriller starring Diane Lane as Jennifer Marsh, an F.B.I. Cyber Crimes agent investigating a website called Killwithme.com, which streams live video of people being tortured and killed by a psycho in his basement. The more people who log on to the site, the quicker the victim dies!Morbid curiosity and internet access has led me to see some pretty disturbing stuff in the past, but I would definitely draw the line at watching a murder, and I trust that most people would do likewise. The makers of Untraceable, on the other hand, assume that the masses would have no such qualms about watching live footage of people being killed, even if doing so made them complicit in the crime. It doesn't say much about their faith in humanity.Thank heavens, then, that our every click on the world-wide-web is being monitored — or so the authorities would dearly like us to believe: Untraceable is thinly veiled propaganda for the F.B.I. designed to scare the public into behaving themselves online. It kinda backfires, though, by unintentionally portraying the organisation as being full of incompetents: while millions log on to see innocent victims being bled to death, burnt to a crisp, and melted in acid, the F.B.I. fail to make any headway in blocking the site, but do manage to get two of their own people trapped by the killer (F.B.I. agents are clearly not trained to look in the back seat of their car). Doh!Despite a reasonable central performance from Diane Lane and a few effectively disgusting death scenes, Untraceable fails thanks to its dubious message—that most people are morally bankrupt and need to be policed—and a silly script full of iffy technological nonsense that only gets more and more preposterous as it progresses (the finalé is absolutely hilarious!).

deatman9 This movie is not too bad it is entertaining enough its just if you think about the plot for more then two seconds it really doesn't make any sense. Also I don't believe Diane Lane can hold the lead her acting is shaky at best.This movie is about a website that appears on the net that has people being tortured and murdered on it. How the website works is however many views it gets the faster the people die.This movie was a decent enough watch a lot of things just did not make sense though. Its overall message though with this world is a sick place I thought was dead on. The comments it showed on the videos really was the best part it made it feel so authentic because thats exactly what people say to those things.
