Movie Reviews of Untraceable
Movie Review: The Premise was good and offered some food for thought!
Summary: 3 Stars
"Untraceable" is about Special Agent Jennifer Marsh, who is assigned to the Cybercrime Task Force Unit of the FBI. While monitoring hackers and other cyber crimes, she stumbles across a website that invites people to "killwithme". Therefore as the death count rises, so does the boldness of his actions and the motive for his senseless killings. What I found interesting about the movie was the entire premise of "if given a chance, would you watch, even if it meant someone would die, events unfolding on-line"? Would knowing that your mere actions would result in someone's death, stop you from watching or prevent you from clicking "enter" with your mouse? Maybe I analyzed it all too much, but based on what I know of our society and its need to know and my belief that most people are voyeurs, I think that people would tune in. Think about it, we live in a world of technology (blackberries, palms and PDAs) and reality television. How many people dial up to watch the ridiculous or simply watch things that they know are private? How many people dial up to watch Big Brother After Hours? Afterall, we live in a society where we want to view sex and or violence, even if on some level we know it isn't right, but we are curious. So hopefully that kind of explains why I gave this movie "3*s" because underneath it all, I think it offered food for thought.
Summary 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.System Requirements:Running Time: 101 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER Rating: R UPC: 043396191341 Manufacturer No: 19134Untraceable 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
