DVD Reviews of Untraceable
DVD Review: Probably my favorite thriller of all time.
Summary: 5 Stars
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.DVD Review: all in the name of voyeurism
Summary: 3 Stars
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 what consequences may be.
However, this case becomes personal when the killer intrudes Jennifer's personal life. And like a moth to a flame, Jennifer finds herself in a mess without backup.
*Untraceable* is like a spawn of *Saw*, *Copycat*, *Silence of the Lamb* and *The Net*. A good thriller worth watching.
DVD Review: Great Premise...Not So Great Execution
Summary: 2 Stars
What a wasted chance. The first 15 minutes of Untraceable are professional, authentic and eye-opening. You really feel as if it is going to be a good movie. Diane Lane is a great actress and has demonstrated this in plenty of films. The killer's set-ups are terrifying and the way his style of killing implicates our neurotic voyeuristic culture is profound. Unfortunately, the police aspect of the investigation is terribly bad. After watching shows such as Criminal Minds with their professional profiling techniques, the blundering police, naysaying superiors and immature language and behavior of Detective Box (whom you may remember as Gary Matheson from Season 2 of 24) really bring down the quality of the feature. If the film makers wanted to make a comment about the difficulty of FBI/Local Police Cooperation, they should have fleshed those angles out better than hope that the quality of the killer's little cyber dungeon would carry the day. It's gut-wrenching to think of what might of happened if the writers had put just as much energy to the investigative methods as it did to almost glorifying the killer's methods by dedicating so much film time to him. If you watch this , make sure it is 99 cents for 2 night at your local rental place. Otherwise you'll surely feel robbed.DVD Review: A pleasant surprise
Summary: 3 Stars
3.5 stars. Granted there are quite a number of squeamish moments and there are a few holes in motivations for the heroine, but Untraceable did a decent job in getting me to suspend disbelief in order to enjoy the mystery and thin suspense of the main storyline. Overall, I think the script would have been better suited as an episode on one of the many TV cop shows than a feature film, but c'est la vie.DVD Review: EXCELLENT THRILLER WITH A MESSAGE!
Summary: 4 Stars
'Untraceable' works as a good thriller with some very disturbing revelations about our society. Diane Lane is in good form as a FBI agent who investigates internet crimes. She stumbles across a rather disturbing website that has real time murders, where the more it's viewed the faster the person dies! It's a good mixture of police drama and gore!
Description of Untraceable
Within the FBI there exists a division dedicated to investigating and prosecuting criminals on the internet. Welcome to the front lines of the war on cybercrime, where special Agent Jennifer Marsh (Diane Lane) and Griffin Dowd (Colin Hanks) have seen it all - until now. A tech-savvy internet predator is displaying his graphic murders on his own website and the fate of each of his tormented captives is left in the hands of the public: the more hits his site gets, the faster his victims die. When this game of cat and mouse becomes personal, Marsh and her team must race against the clock to track down this technical mastermind who is virtually untraceable.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
