Untraceable

Sometimes a piece of art attempting to pass a judgment on a tragic state of the world that we live in is nothing but another proof of the sad state of our society. "Untreacable" pretends to have certain detachment and desire to remove itself from the sick fascination with violence in our world. Alas, unfortunately all it does is, makes us all participants in this ghoulish quagmire. Enormous holes in the plot and total disconnection with the simple thing called logic doesn't help a bit this mess of a movie.So, instead of a cool- headed intellectual analysis, we get cheap thrills and a dull headache.There was no need to mask this slasher with any highbrow message.

I am a little biased as a Diane Lane fan, but this movie offers several likeable characters and even the antagonist fulfills his role very well, disturbingly so. The torture scenes are handled with a certain "grace," for lack of a better word, as even though it's rated R, they don't glorify or flaunt the grisly moments and only show what's "necessary." I'd have given it an 8 if it was a little faster paced and less predictable, although that said it still had some surprises in store.

Prime example of a movie with a great premise but overall falls flat. The premise is good and it hooks you right away it's a mixture between saw and silence of the lambs and maybe that's where the film suffers. The acting is good in the film to. The main flaw is the premise is good but it works at times and then it doesn't at other times. If the film was just a psychological thriller it would of been way better but instead the film doesn't know if it's a horror slasher film or a psychological thriller. Overall the film is not bad it's an ok film but there's nothing special about it.

The idea behind the movie is that a killer posts live feeds of his victims on an untraceable web-cam and displays this on the internet. The more hits the site gets the faster he will kill his victims. They were trying to be all deep and talk about how people enjoy watching other peoples suffering and that this is only helped by how easy it is to do so through the internet... The way they get this message out is by charging 10 dollars a pop for people to watch victims be bathed in battery acid or other horrible things on a big screen for everybody's enjoyment. They preach about how the badness of the cyber-age and about how humanity enjoys other peoples suffering but yet this entire movie was written in order to make money off of these two things. Does nobody else see what's ridiculous about this? Maybe this is some kind of inside joke but if not then don't give these slime who believe they are taking the moral path the satisfaction and don't go to the movie.
