Regardless of what you want to see, anything can be found on the net and the new movie Untraceable explores this fact, not only explicitly, but rather well, if I must say so myself.First off, in no way am I advocating that this is a good movie because it’s average at best. Unlike most films that build on the hype and speculation of the person behind all the wrongdoing, this film fails to do so and it kinds of leaves you with no incentive to watch after you find out what’s going on early on. And what’s that you ask? Well, basically the premise of this film is founded around a serial killer who rigs contraptions to kill his victims based on the number of hits received through a website (www.killwithme.com). Featuring a live streaming video of the events as they happen, the more people that log on, the faster the victim dies. Perpetuating this fact, Diane Lane plays a cyber cop named Jennifer Marsh who must race against time to piece together this mystery, in regards to the wellbeing of herself and her family.
Now, there are many things wrong with this film but to get into them all would be a waste of time. A full-length theater release was not warranted here and would’ve been perfectly acceptable as a straight to DVD flick but don’t waste your time (or money) on this. It’s not worth the price of admission and you’ll be happy you did.
