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 July 8, 2008
Untraceable proves that computers can be our own downfall and that it does stop people from realizing fact from fiction.
 Cool concept, poor execution July 7, 2008
(No pun intended).
The idea was original but that's about as far as it goes. The plot is contrived and the suspense completely forced. Many parts of the movie made no sense and the resolution was predictable and unsatisfying. I thought it especially lame that we are expected to believe that this mentally-ill, 20-something dropout is a computer genius and master-criminal. Good grief...
Watch "Mr. Brooks" instead; it's 50 times better.
So NOT recommended.
 This could be movie of the year July 6, 2008
This was a great movie CLEARLY SO MUCH BETTER THEN "NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN" . I don't really wanna give away much about this movie so I'm just going to say that the plot was very creative and the actors and actress's were great. And on my final note, after I say this movie I couldn't even dream of touching a computer that entire night because the move was so suspenseful.
 Lame Movie that has no thrills July 5, 2008

I have just three questions for the writers of this movie: 1.-How can a FBI computer crimes agent only use the computer three maybe four times in a movie about the internet?; 2.-How does a FBI computer crimes agent not have a secure wireless network and also lets her seven just turned eight year old daughter download anything off the net; and finally, 3.-As a woman, an FBI agent, and the widow of a cop how does she not close her curtains at night in her house? I mean the killer just sat outside her house and watched her. As I write this I've just thought of another question that came to me. Why would she have secure FBI files on her laptop and not a firewall to be found. And please enough of the troubled but brillant killers. A little thought and research would have done this movie well. Did she not have any friends who were hackers that could have helped out. What's up with talking on unsecure phone lines when you know you are dealing with a computer whiz. Enough. Just a really dumb and lazily written movie. For a good cyber-crime thriller read the Blue Nowhere by Jeffery Deaver.
SURPRISE , you've seen it all before July 5, 2008
1. the very smart killer stays several steps ahead of the authorities .
2. the characters we are spoon fed an emotional investment in are abducted and dispatched . 3. the colleagues look on appalled and helpless . 4. the lead detective (a female model) has a heterosexual fellow officer with no personal life and an enormous moral compass .
5. she's very resourceful (particularly after making horrible decisions) I.E. re-entering a vehicle disabled by the killer .
6. the detective must see the case through to its' bitter end (regardless of personal safety and/or the counsel of fellow and senior officers) .
7. deductions are timely and digital-clock-precise provided the lead detective is in danger .
8. roll credits . rinse and repeat as needed .
