Diane Lane and Colin Hanks play in Untraceable.

Plot:  Special Agent Jennifer Marsh (Lane) and her partner are on the front lines and in front of the computer investigating Internet crimes.  They are pushed to the limit when someone starts killing people on-line, streaming live.  The catch for the... read full review »

Suddenly a new website appears called Killwithme.com  and it appears to provied a live video feed featuring animals and eventually...

The Scariest Part Is That It Could Happen
mother of 16 year old son, Internet User, Movie Reviewer, a believer of fate

JAN

2008
My 14 year old son is a fan of slasher films, though they scare the snot out of him, usually making him afraid to go to bed at night. I was telling him how different psychological thrillers can be, and how without all that strictly blood and guts stuff, sometimes it can be even scarier when it messes with your mind. He wasn't sure exactly what I was talking about, but halfway through Untraceable, he looked at me with true fear in his eyes and whispered, "So that's what a psychological thriller is."

In Untraceable, Diane Lane stars as a special F.B.I. agent who works only with cases involving the... read full review »

Never heard of it, but very good movie.
an infrequent movie goer, into action flicks, waiting for the DVD

I had never heard of this movie before I rented it.  I am a big fan of horror & suspense movies like Saw, Silence of the Lambs, etc.  This movie really fits into these categories and has you on the edge of your seat.

The movie is about a very disturbed, but highly intelligent individual that has a website that shows actual murders of people.  When viewers log into the site, they actually assist in the murder by making the victim die faster.  The more viewers, the faster the victim dies.  It's a sad world out there, because lots of people log in to view a death they know is actually happening....

Untraceable is exciting but a bit over the top
casual movie goer, netflix customer

OCT

2008

Untraceable was another Netflix rental.  Being an Internet guy large parts of this movie seemed quite far fetched.  However, if you are looking for a action packed formulaic thriller Untraceable pretty much fits the bill.  The death scenes are pretty gruesome and graphic so be prepared.  Let's hope no one gets any ideas from this movie.

I have rated it a three because it is just an average thriller.  Nothing crazy special about it but not bad either.

My New Favorite Movie!
into action flicks

MAY

      I am definately into thrillers, but not so much bloody horror movies, and I thought it was just right for the story line.  The plot was disturbing because it was of all the freaks out there and what can be done with cmputers today.  I really like the message also-we're able watch terrible things online without realizing that the video could be hurtful to others.  When the man refused to kill the child, I was even more creeped out by the whole idea because the man was obviously sane (not just a killing machine), and had methodically planned who was to blame and who would be killed. The... read full review »

90 min. of torture.

While this is a new premise and the acting good, I wish I gone with my instincts and chosen a different movie to see. If you are in to torture, then this flick is for you! It wasn't the worst I've seen but it didn't leave me on an up note. I always wonder what the movie makers are thinking when they give sicko's ideas that they may not have thought of. I'm not sure if there is a possibility of being completely untraceable. I sure hope not.

Edge of your seat - awesome thriller !!!!
into action flicks

This movie is one of the best action flicks I've seen lately.  It's got a great plot - a little gruesome here and there, but it had an extreme new version of serial killing !!!!!!   I liked how they brought it all together toward the end.  I don't think it was advertised well enough - I almost missed it because I hadn't seen the trailer for it - should have been #1 for the weekend box office !!

This movie will keep you on the edge of your seat.  It is the kind of movie that makes you want to not look but yet you just can't keep your eyes off of it.  Although I'm not a huge Diane Lane fan, she definitely sells this movie.  You just never know what is around the next corner.

 Movie was great..... had you flinching. Hannibal Lector in a whole new way.  Almost had you sympathetic to the killer but lots of blood and gore. Actually had a great story line as gory movies usually tend to neglect the story and focus on blood, this has the best of both

Like SAW movies meets the internet

Starts off as a interesting cyber crime movie, but eventually it becomes a SAW movie with gruesome torture scenes.  Interesting premise, but the gratuitous scenes take away from the clever story.

Diane Lane is good, but the only star I recognized.
