It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

THE HUMAN TRACE is very low budget crime thriller about an undercover cop investigating a series of mysterious murders in a small American town. There's a conspiracy angle to the story and elements of interest dotted throughout, but the whole thing is so cheap and amateurish that it's not a film you can take seriously.Josh Sumner takes the lead role and doesn't convince as a detective for a moment, either in appearance or performance. He kips in a house and talks a lot to people, and that's about it. Attempts at scene-setting are limited and the film has little to no atmosphere for what should be a suspenseful production. It's hardly worth the effort to tune in, in other words.
