Movie Reviews of Untraceable
Movie Review: NOT AS BAD AS MANY SAY IT IS
Summary: 4 Stars
I watched this one today, expecting a big bloody "HOSTEL" type mess and was pleasantly surprised. Granted, there are some gruesome items, but it's nowhere as bad as I thought it was going to be.
It's more "detective thriller" than it is "bloody horror movie". I was pleasantly surprised as it held my attention throughout the entire movie. I'm glad I decided to watch it.
For those of you that haven't read already what the plot of the movie is, in a nutshell it's about a psycho who puts a live stream online showing a person that will be killed. The more people that sign on to watch, the faster that person dies. Each person is placed in a "SAW-like" situation, and the FBI is trying their darndest to shut the site down. Yet, as word of mouth spreads about the site, you can only imagine how more curious people become when they hear about it and they want to sign on just to check it out. Unfortunately, doing so just speeds up the death of whoever happens to be captive at the time a person looks at the site.
Check it out if you like thrillers. Definitely worth a look.
Movie Review: Tough, Brutal Diane Lane Thriller With Something To Say About Modern Times
Summary: 4 Stars
Untraceable certainly isn't a flawless thriller, but it's a solid, enjoyable one. It's not only a grisly, hard-at-times to watch film, but it has a brain, and definite opinions about how our culture seems to feed like pirahna on the misery and suffering of others using the immediacy of the internet.
Diane Lane plays an Portland FBI cybercrime investigator who finds herself after a gruesome killer who kidnaps his victims and tortures them to death on the internet, upping the ante as fast as he gets hits on his website. Lane's character is still grieving the death of her husband, a policeman killed in the line of duty, and this case quickly intrudes on her life with her mom and her young daughter.
There's no phony romance with her cop partner, no killer who is somehow connected to Lane, and she gets to save the day without a male cop taking over for her. There are plot aspects that don't ring true, but overall, this is a smart, engrossing film that has something to say, and says it pretty well.
Movie Review: Aside from a couple scenes....
Summary: 4 Stars
Me and a good friend just saw this film last night, we both enjoyed it.
But let me tell you, this is 10times better than fear dot com-ha! Doesn't take much. The acting is very good, and the death scenes are sadistically clever, the only real dissapointment was the killer's motive. A couple scenes made both of us turn our heads. The violence is not puke-factor graphic, but it's definately not for the squeamish. The critics once again, wouldn't know a good murder mystery if it conked em on the head-this is not a slasher flick, not enough blood shed, plus every victim has some connection with the killer. Slasher flicks rarely have any real charecter development, and usually with those the killer has only one primary target, not with this one. Any murder mystery fan should give this a look, you probably won't regret it.
Movie Review: Interesting Cyber-Thriller
Summary: 4 Stars
Diane Lane stars as FBI Agent Jennifer Marsh who finds herself dealing with the unthinkable. A sadistic killer is torturing his victims and posting it on the internet. The pace at which his victims die depends on the number of visitors to the site.
"Untraceable" starts off slow and dull, but the movie quickens with the same pace at which the victims meet their demise. As original as a story "Untraceable" is, it slightly resembles "Saw" and "Silence of the Lambs." See if you can piece together the puzzle before it unravels. Great cyber-thriller, its worth a watch. 3.5 out of 5.
Movie Review: Silence Of The Lambs for the Internet
Summary: 4 Stars
I have one problem, they are hyping it as the new "Silence Of The Lambs" for the internet age.
I doubt any film will ever come close to that phenomenal movie.
It was alright. Although some of the technical stuff the killer was doing with his equipment and computers was not realistic and impossible with what he was working with and the time frames.
But, watching a movie is about suspending disbelief.
I actually laughed out loud when she stuck her badge into the camera at the very end, it looked like a mentos commercial.
All in all, it was a good movie though.
