Product Description:
UNTRACEABLE (DVD MOVIE)
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

Untraceable (Gregory Hoblit, 2008)
Untraceable is a movie that made me vaguely uncomfortable, and I couldn't quite put my finger on why until I read the best/worst of 2008 lists at Dread Central, where one of the reviewers there handed it to me (never let it be said that I don't give credit where credit is due); he called it the hypocrisy of the movie, the idea that this is a movie about watching, and contributing to, evil while turning its viewers into voyeurs themselves. (He put it ... Read More

- very good
this movie is great a really good horror mixed with crime solving movie its graphic and it has twists in itthe only down side is after u see it the first time u know the ending so its not as great this movie would of rocked if it came with different ending options
Rating: - Probably my favorite thriller of all time.
I'm not much for a lot of words, but my wife and I absolutely LOVE this movie. We've watched it about 15 times now. I love the rain in this movie and I love the cold blue look. It's got a very high tech feel as the story centers around those who use computers to catch hackers and the like. The acting is profound and I just can't get over the "feel" when watching this movie. I love it, my only wish is to find some other movies like this that are at this level of quality.
Rating: - all in the name of voyeurism
Diane Lane plays an FBI agent, Jennifer Marsh, specializing in cyber crimes.Pretty soon, this FBI division are called to investigate deaths that are broadcasted via the Internet...[...]Site hits increase with each death episode.Someone is kidnapping people and killing them online.And the more site hits, the faster the victims die.
You would think that in the name of humanity, people would cease from visiting the site.However, it is our curiosity to check out the site despite ... Read More
