What our customer's say!

""The whole world wants to watch you die, and they don't even know you."", UNTRACEABLE, for all its aspirations to being a harrowing psychological techno-thriller, ends up mostly flat and uninteresting. But, after SAW and Rob Zombie's terrifying flicks, maybe my threshold for the grotesque and the disquieting is now just too high. The visceral torture scenes in UNTRACEABLE invoke a sense of uneasiness, but the rest of the film simply can't maintain the squirmy suspense. It's too bad, because things do start out promisingly and ominously, and with a kitten.

Diane Lane and Colin Hanks play two federal agents working out of the FBI's Cyber Crimes Division who become part of a Portland task force assembled to catch a psychopath who conducts online torture and eventual murder of his abducted victims, all done on live streaming video. The hook to his website is that it's interactive. The more hits the site garners, the faster the torture goes, and the sooner the victim dies, thus rendering the viewer an accomplice to murder. As the FBI and the Portland police desperately pursue leads - but mostly flounder around, feeling helpless - the killer begins to engage them in a cat & mouse game. And soon, members of the task force find themselves targeted. Note that Diane Lane's character is a widowed single mom, so concerns regarding her cute and curious daughter surface quite early.

Here's a bit of a rant (sorry, dudes): There's a dubious credo subscribed to by a rude percentage of the web surfing community, that with the ability to anonymously log on comes a certain rush and also a rebuffing of consequences. The world wide web can often times bring out the utter crud in people. The most disturbing things in the film may have been the crudity and mean-spiritedness generated on the snuff site's chat room window. This is the morbid onlooker's syndrome as transferred online, and it is unsavory stuff. Is it in our DNA that we get our ya-yas gazing at horrifying things, that we can't at all avert our eyeballs? Me, I'm not really one to talk. I couldn't help watching the SAW films, and HOSTEL. Hell, eons ago, I even saw FACES OF DEATH. And, like most, I'll take an inquisitive peek at a roadside accident. It's genetics, right? Because if it is, then I'll feel better about watching so many low taste films.

It's like this. A film can flirt with snuff & torturerama and then can have the gall to sermonize about voyeurism and the growing desensitizing of the masses. Fine by me. But, by the hammer of Thor, that film had better not bore me! UNTRACEABLE, being not at all an edgy film, failed to engage me. It's certainly a far cry from SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, or SE7EN, or even SAW. Just because a character in the film says mystifying things like "We're blackholing those IPs!" or "backdooring those Trojans," that does not a smart film make (and is it me or does "backdooring a Trojan" sound kinda not cool?). The film's weak elements serve to drag the whole thing down. Can't lay the blame too much on Diane Lane (although her character does some unclever things). Diane Lane is solid enough and lends a warmth to her character. But the rest of the cast is unremarkable (sorry, Tom Hank's son). There's a triteness to the story, a certain plodding blah-ness to it, and certainly no jaw-dropping twists. The website torture sequences are fraught with queasy tension and a certain sicko factor, so the film succeeds from that aspect. Yet the villain is unmemorable, and his identity really is revealed too early in the game (so there goes a chunk of the suspense). Typically, annoyingly, the agents are undermined by a self-serving and officious boss, and I only wish that he'd been kidnapped and tortured. Then there's the anticlimactic and unsatisfying showdown between Diane Lane and the killer, followed by the film ending rather abruptly. By that point, I didn't even mind.

"Serial Killer Thriller", "Untraceable," starring Diane Lane as Jennifer Marsh, head of the FBI Portland Cyber Crimes unit, uses as background gruesome, horrifically twisted crimes. This casts a dark cloud of foreboding over the proceedings.
A new website, KillWithMe.com, pops up with real images of a cat innocently lapping up milk from a saucer. The computer hacker has arranged that, the more people hit the website, the faster the cat will be killed through a contraption he's hooked up. Soon after, the stakes are raised when a human being appears on the website, his destiny linked to the number of curiosity seekers who tune in to watch. Teamed with local Portland police Detective Eric Box (Billy Burke), Jennifer races to close down the website and find the hacker/killer.
Despite all-out efforts on the part of the FBI and local police, the killer appears unstoppable. What's more, he seems to enjoy baffling the authorities while brazenly continuing his bizarre program of murder.
"Untraceable" is competently made and benefits from a solid, believable performance by Lane, a good supporting cast, and a series of disturbing set pieces depicting the assorted ways in which the killer lays the groundwork for his victims' demise. Because the deaths are keyed to hits by computer users, the victims are slowly tortured to death.
About halfway through the movie, however, the turf becomes all too familiar. As in countless thrillers before it, "Untraceable" switches gears into formula, making its resolution both predictable and disappointing.
Lane gives her character authority and intelligence. An early scene shows how effectively she does her job. When she is thoroughly perplexed and rendered helpless in the wake of this new, horrrifying crime, we see her frustration and determination to shut down the website and nail the perpetrator. So it's a game of wits, really, between Jennifer and the killer, whose identity is not revealed until halfway through the movie. Both are bright, both have the ability to checkmate the other's moves, and both are motivated to prevail.
Colin Hanks (Tom's son) plays Jennifer's cyber crimes partner, Griffin Dowd, whose job always seems to interfere with his attempts to meet interesting, eligible women. This is sort of a running gag in a film that is otherwise deadly serious in tone. Burke's Detective Box is the typical movie cop -- strong, resourceful, efficient, resolved, yet impotent because he's up against something he's never encountered before.
Compared to such recent movies as the "Saw" and "Hostel" franchises, "Untraceable" is fairly tame. It uses its grisly images as integral plot points, not as the centerpiece and raison d'etre. The images are disturbing, but without them, the movie would be just another TV flick. Screen violence is not always reprehensible. If handled with tact, it can underscore drama and add tremendous tension.
Rated R for strong images of violence and language, "Untraceable" is a well made thriller. Elevated by the presence of Diane Lane, it combines the procedural nature of "Zodiac," the cat-and-mouse interplay of "Silence of the Lambs," and the ghastly images of "Seven."

"Not for Cat or animal people", If you are a cat person to preserve your sanity do not watch this movie. At minimum skip the first 15 to 20 minutes.

"Untraceable (Blue Ray)", This movie was very intense. I couldn't watch the whole thing the first time. I just wasn't in the mood. The second time I watched with friends and it was intense, but it was very good. If you are squeamish at all don't watch this, but if you like suspense till the end than this is for you.

"I hope the real life FBI agents are smarter than these guys...", So many plot holes! If somebody was murdered by hundreds of heating lamps... maybe the FBI should try to find out who the heck bought all those lamps? If somebody got burned to death in a pool of sulfuric acid, maybe, just maybe, they need to find out who purchased tanks and tanks of sulfuric acid! It's not one of those everyday items you buy at your local walmart! Who the heck wrote this script? A middle schooler? Are you kidding me?

The main character, who is a trained FBI agent has no idea how to protect herself knowing that someone's out there to kill her! Her computer gets broken into...and she's supposed to be a cybercrime expert? Her car got broken into and reprogrammed (huh?) and now that it's started back up again.. she enters the freaking car without even checking it out! And of course the killer was hiding in the back seat the whole time! What????? Are you kidding me?

I understand what they're trying to say... yes, things are getting perverted and people are getting more and more desensitized. It's scary.. But come on... at least put some effort into writing a decent script...

And what's with the FBI agents cheering as the main character kills the killer at the end? Do they think it's a football game?

"Solid Critique, Pretty Good Film", It's undeniable that "Untraceable" is a criticism of America's attraction to torture-porn, both in the theatres and (slightly more repulsive) on the Internet. However, this movie has been accused of actually being torture-porn itself, and is more often than not compared to gore-fests such as the Saw series or the awful Eli Roth's Hostel movies. However, in simply watching this movie, viewers will realize that those specific criticisms are unfounded. "Untraceable" walks a fine line, because it does have to show graphic violence in order to get the message across that graphic violence and seeing people murdered are the sole reason people tune in to these kinds of flicks. There was only one instance where I thought that a violent scene was unnecessary to the movie's message, and that was when they showed a close-up of a man who'd already been killed, so that viewers can get a good look at his fleshless hand. That bit was too much, but other than that, this film successfully avoids becoming that which it condemns, and paints a successful picture of the mind state of those who engage in watching such movies.

Now that I've talked about how it executes the message, let's see how it works as a film. It's no Oscar-winner, nor could it ever be a personal favorite of mine, but I enjoyed it considerably more than I thought I would. It's well directed with surprisingly sophisticated use of color (or lack thereof) that really gave a disturbing mood to the movie. The acting, like the script, was fair, but nothing really jumped out at me, except the performances of both the lead cybercop (played by Diane Lane) and the villain in the climax.

Overall, it's a decent film that has a solid and relevant message. The ending--as in the final scene--is abrupt, a bit cheesy, and sort of hard to swallow, but it's so quick that it doesn't mess up what the movie, as a whole, does. Don't listen to unfounded accusations that this is torture-porn--as the most passionate critic of the horrid genre I've met, I'd know if it was--because what it really is best likened to is a particularly good episode of "Law and Order."

6/10

"Reveals Workings of Computer Forensics Unit", Some rather grisly, elaborate murders are shown being committed on-line in this movie. People's deaths are rigged to progress according to how many people log on to view the carnage. Part of the killer's motive is to hold a mirror up to humankind - to show how base our curiosity can be - how our voyeuristic, prurient interest in other's suffering can have real consequences.

One suspects that this movie itself might be an example of pandering to our morbid fascinations - its storyline just an excuse to show torture. Nevertheless, there are elements in this movie that lift it above mere exploitation.

The producers/directors of "Untraceable" researched the largely secret operations of the FBI's Cyber Crimes Division, a unit charged with tracking on-line predators and other criminals. The Director Commentary on this DVD is especially interesting for its discussions of how the cast and crew worked to make the movie as authentic as possible and to recreate the atmosphere of the Unit's tracking rooms. They even lucked out when they decided to film in Portland, then found that City was actually headquarters for this Crimes Division. So the filmmakers had easy access to the FBI officers as consultants for the movie.

As a result, a lot of insider computer lingo gets tossed around in the early part of the movie. Diane Lane's character rattles off references to proxy servers, spoof phone cards, ISP hand-offs and blockers. I wished they would have slowed down a little and found a way to explain some of these methods that cyber criminals have of dodging attempts at tracking them. That would have made the movie truly educational and would have supplied further justification for watching the more gruesome parts of the film.

The writing and acting here are generally fairly good - with a few glaring exceptions. After witnessing one of her co-workers die a painful death on-line, the script has Lane mutter with profound understatement, "I'm not good at losing people."

However, Lane is well-cast as an official in the Division. She was the ideal actor to play a woman now casually accepted in a position of authority, without having to be a gussied, beholden sex object in the process. It would have been nice if the older generation had been granted similar status.

That was not to be though. The woman who plays Lane's mother in the film is reduced to the role of silent baby-sitter/servant in the household. Given only a couple of lines to speak and a ludicrous Groucho Marx get-up of thick eyeglasses and bushy pageboy haircut - this older woman comes off almost as someone who is so embarrassing by virtue of her over-50 age, she has to present herself in disguise. Well, if younger women such as Lane can now be cast as realistically functioning law enforcement officers, perhaps older women will also be liberated into realistic on-screen positions of authority one day soon.

These quibbles aside though, the movie is somewhat worthwhile. It opens up a window onto the little understood world of cyber crime and the people who are on the job, daily trying to stanch its deadening, deadly tide.


"Uneven Thriller", Untraceable is a thriller that is heavily influenced, for both good and bad, by the Saw film series. As in Saw, the killer uses ingenious and diabolical traps to kill his victims. The victims actually are given a chance to survive although remote. The twist here is that the killer is broadcasting his murders on the internet over a site called killwithme.com. The more visitors that log onto the site, the faster the person is killed. As an example, one victim is surrounded by dozens of heat lamps. As the site traffic increases, more heat lamps are turned on, eventually baking the unfortunate man alive.

On his trail is FBI agent Jennifer Marsh (Lane), a member of the cyber crimes unit. Her days are normally spent tracking down online predators, scam artists, and identity thieves but this is something she's never encountered before. This killer may be psychotic but he's also brilliant. Every attempt to track him down results in a bogus IP address being tossed out. Jennifer is joined in the hunt by Portland, Oregon detective Eric Box (Burke). Both of them can only watch helplessly as the killer flaunts his murders to law enforcement as millions of people visit the site. The cat and mouse game soon turns deadly as the killer sets his sights on the agents who are tracking him down including Jennifer and her family.

Diane Lane was perfect in her role. As an older actress she is still very attractive yet she's not a starlet type who would not be convincing as an FBI agent. She's strong but vulnerable. She's clever but the smartest person in the room. Most of the other performances were ordinary but Lane truly stood out. I was happy the writers did not take the sappy avenue and develop an emotional relationship between Marsh and Detective Box. This is usually an unneeded plot contrivance and thankfully it was avoided in Untraceable.

The film does suffer from one of the same weaknesses of the Saw films in that the killer is too smart and too resourceful. I always wondered how Jigsaw had the money to build all of those elaborate traps and obtain all of those empty buildings so he could kill in seclusion. I'm not a computer expert but I found the killers ability to avoid detection, particularly by the FBI, and then infiltrate the home PC of Marsh, to border on the highly implausible. As smart as the killer was he ended up making the dumb mistake of changing his modus operandi by going after the FBI agents. It simply doesn't fit with the motives of the other murders.

Untraceable is a good thriller that could have been exceptional with a bit of tinkering. It pushes the notion of how much our society has degraded as the site visitors KNOW they are helping to hasten the person's death and yet they keep coming back even after repeated warnings. The killer ends up stepping on his own feet and gets caught without any actual effort by the FBI. It's definitely worth a view for Lane's strong performance.


"Horrible", This item did not play well; it played like a bootleg dvd. I had to ask the seller for a refund. She responded quickly, and I was refunded in a matter of days. That is the only up-side to this transaction!

"Where's Hannibal?", One of the raves of this film was something along the lines of " 'Silence of the Lambs' for the internet generation".

PUH-LEASE.

The villain of this movie doesn't hold a candle to Hannibal. This guy would be an appetizer to him.
