I want a server that robust!, July 22 2008
By Smeddley - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Untraceable (DVD)
I understand I have to suspend my disbelief with movies like this, but I wasn't interested enough in the characters to make it worth the effort. And it's not about the people tuning in; a troll through the videos on the internet make it obvious that people would watch it, though I have a hard time believing there were 12 million viewers and the load doesn't crash the site. It's more about the FBI's inability to take down a website. I find that... highly unlikely. Still, I could have overlooked it (goodness knows I'm no computer expert, perhaps it's possible, but there are plenty of governments out there blocking a lot more than a single website...) had the rest of the story been compelling or interesting enough to make me care. If I cared at all about the characters in the story. But I didn't. They were flat and boring and I honestly cared more about his first victim than I did all the others put together.I suppose there was some high, moral message to the story, in the end, but it was so smothered in... fluff and tedium that it lost any real meaning. It felt like Saw or Hostel without the gore (okay, there was a little bit of icky, but nothing compared to the levels of those movies). Which leave you with a vague plot, some action sequences, and a lukewarm, predictable ending. It's fine for an evening when there's nothing on, or for watching with a group of friends (and throwing popcorn at the screen), but overall you won't be missing out much if you pass it by.

Entertaining, May 29 2008
By Romina Wilcox "Author of Cold Eyes" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Untraceable (DVD)
This movie has lots of actions, tense, as you would expect from a cyber-movie. The main plot is about a psychotic man who uses his taser to get the people to his "dungeon" and display the torture online. I thought the plot was brilliant. The way he does his torture where the lights increases as the viewers increases which practically baked the victim; the use of chemical (forgot what it was) on the next person; and the voice changer so the psycho can lure his victim - I thought those were all unique and high-concept.Now adays, though, Feds can easily trace the IP address. In this movie, they have difficulty tracing the IP address of the user. I'm sure that is why the title is Untraceable. The computer forensic folks are a lot savier now. It would have added more mystery if the audience does not know who the person behind the keyboard. That would have given them something to solve.
I laughed at the ending, though. When the heroin broke loose of her captivity where she was tied upside down, one of the users posted a question: "How can I download this scene." (something like this). I thought that was hilarious as it shows us our obsession with live Interent action.
Again, this movie is entertaining enough in a different way. I would still recommend seeing it. Cold Eyes

Untraceable, May 16 2008
By C. A. Luster "The Rook" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Untraceable (DVD)
Based on reviews I expected something like "Saw", but that wasn't the case. This wasn't a horror, it was a crime drama like "Bone Collector". An FBI investigative team tries to track down a murderer that has a website tied to the method of murder. The problem is he hides his tracks to well on the internet. His murders are conducted based on the number of hits the website recieves. In one case the more people visit the website, the water the person he kidnapped is soaking in turns to battery acid. So this is not for the squemish or young. This is also the one thing I have trouble with in the movies given perception. Being a computer geek for over twenty-four years I know if you want someone shut down for killing people, there is a way including going to their ISP if not the networks or IPs they're bouncing through. That aside it was a pretty decent movie. In fact scarier when you consider the popularity of public websites for people to post videos. One can't help wonder if people at least initially would think something like this was a hoax and tell all their friends to check it out. Hence one facet of this is feasible. The texted graphic comments we see would then be understandable as well as I have seen people make comments like those about online game characters. When they don't think it is real, but just fake with acting and props, then you can see why it is believable. The acting was good, the directing, story, and music were all well done. Overall I would recommend it if you like movies like "Along Came a Spider" and "Kiss the Girls". Good quality DVD with decent replayability.
Listmania!
