Unwatchable

The idea for Untraceable was good, but there was plot holes and bad character interaction all over to the place.

The story for Untraceable was original, but stupid at the same time. The idea of "the more hits the website gets, the faster the victim dies" was good, but the way that the movie presented the idea was stupid. Plus there were so many plot holes that the movie fell to pieces. After watching the movie for a while, the idea became very old very quickly. The deaths were creative, but reminded me of the Saw movies in a sense. There was an attempt at a plot, but the movie really revolved around killing.

The characters didn't really help the story either. Actually, the characters brought down the story. They weren't very dynamic, and most of their reactions were very bland. Most...

Unremarkable

Incredibly weak & at times even laughable. "The more hits his site gets the faster the victim dies" that actually says it all. That, along with the film being set up for Diane Lane to be the hero by making every other character an idiot - Please!

not so untraceable!

This film looked great on movie trailers, but as I bought my popcorn and parked my back side on an uncomfortable cinema seat I was quite disappointed.The plot revolves around Jennifer Marsh a single mum and federal agent who works in the cyber crimes department of the FBI. Marsh is given a web address to investigate, and as she delves deeper she discovers a mad man torturing and killing people live on the internet. As more people log on to the site the quicker they are slaughtered.

At first I thought the premise of the story line was a stroke of genius but as I watched the movie the plot became very predictable and the use of the fore echoe I found was corny. The acting is pretty good and I have no complaints about the casting. As we discover who the killer is and his motives, it sen...

Not amazing but decent enough

A movie in the same tradition of the Saw series. Not as graphic which was nice because that is what turns me off in these movies. Instead the movie gets its chills by making you wonder what will happen next -- not what torture will I have to look away from.

Diane Lane is good as usual, and plays a convincing computer investigator for the FBI. Usually these movies piss me off because they talk about computer technology as if the person watching it is a retard. But this one kind of keeps things vague so you don't get hung up on the specifics.

Overall a decent thriller, but you can do better with trillers like Identity, Se7en and Frailty.
