Did you people see the same film I saw?

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This is an a bad movie nor is it a great movie. But the movie is however very predictable. With that said I did enjoy the first half of the movie. My only issues came at the end. One it was obvious the entire movie that the main character was going to get caught. When she went into her hotel room and suspected someone had been there it did not make any sense for her to a continue into the room or be to then get into her car without doing a full sweep of her car to ensure nobody else was there. Also when her car goes out on the bridge and she found the FBI and they say they're on their way it did not make any sense for her to get back in the car without opening up all the doors to make sure no one else was in the car with her. Other than that the movie has a very good plot in the acting is decent my only issue was at the end was very quick and the choices of the main character was very predictable

I am always amazed at how inventive serial killers are in movies. In reality serial killers use fairly unimaginative methods in their crimes, and get away with them mostly through sheer luck. Even when they taunt the police with a note, they more often than not reveal a challenged level of literacy. But in movies, the planning and engineering skills of the average serial killer are on a par with putting a man on the moon. "Untraceable" is a case in point.Jennifer Marsh (Diane Lane), an FBI agent involved in detecting cybercrime discovers a serial killer using an Internet site to set up his victims. The film has an unpleasant premise in that the murders only happen if viewers log on, which they do despite pleas not to from the authorities. The film posits a very jaundiced view of society, becoming somewhat preachy on the subject. Much of what happens though is straight out of the Serial Killer Movie Manual, especially the head FBI guy taking a while to get on board with Jennifer's warnings.A single-mother back-story and a quirky offsider with victim written all over him help fill out the space between the credits. One break from the formula is that the murders all involve guys and aren't sexual in nature, a point of difference with 99 per cent of serial killer movies. Usually the most watchable part of this kind of thing is the detection element, and in this case the tracking sequences are the highlights of the movie. The ending is definitely drawn from the manual as the cops close in on the killer - you hardly need to watch the screen to know how it ends.As long as you don't expect a "Se7en", or a "Silence of the Lambs", "Untraceable" is not the worst serial killer thriller, however, it does take itself just a little too seriously - no wonder the critics thought its 'message' was hypocritical.

OK, I live in a box so, there are things that slip by when they are new. This drama was new in 2008. I just watched it today. I am impressed at the suspense and the thrills. The cinematography is the main part of the story. This whole thing was filmed to make you think, scare you a bit, and make you believe this is all happening in your neighborhood. I was impressed by the storyline. As it progressed I kept thinking "yeah, this is what's going to happen". Then, things would change direction. When you turn this "very cool" Suspense Thriller on, you need to finish it completely. The last couple minutes are "stand up and cheer" emotional. Ms. Lane is a completely believable, overly dedicated, seriously gutsy, FBI Agent. I liked this movie right through the credits...........See it some evening with your "Buddy", a lot of beer, snacks, and the lights dimmed. Guys and Girls should find this a great "Movie Time" night.

A ferocious retelling of the old tale of voyeurism, supplemented by the behind-glass-partitions shots. It brought to my mind the memory of Hitchcock's (The Rear Window). A good casting is waiting for you there. Diane Lane was like enthusiastic .. The guy who played the serial killer gave the traditional flat affect imprinted on serial killers' faces in movies. His methods of killing seemed to me rather complying with the social roles of his victims, for example the anti-coagulant bleeding of the naturally cold-blooded pilot and the heat lamp burning of the announcer who brings secrets to light on TV. Actually voyeurism continues till the last moment as the chat room displays comments.. It's a good movie on the whole.
