Product Description
Dark thriller starring Diane Lane. Within the FBI is a division dedicated to investigating and prosecuting criminals who commit crimes on the Internet. Two members of this division are Agents Jennifer Marsh (Lane) and Griffin Dowd (Colin Hanks). When an Internet predator begins displaying his brutal murders on his website, it's up to Marsh and her team to track him down before he kills again. Unfortunately, the fate of each of his victims is left in the hands of the public - the more hits his website gets, the quicker his victims die.

Being a bit of an IT guy this was right up my street.
Someone's kidnapping folks and sticking them in life situations that will kill them, the more people that watch on the internet the faster they die. It's Diane Lanes (phwoar) job to find the perp and stop him/her.
This is a brilliant film, good story, good script and Diane Lane, what more could you ask for.
There are some moments of this film that made me want to look away (but I couldn't).

We've all visited websites we shouldn't have, usually late at night when we're on our own and feeling a little lonely. The makers of Untraceable have taken the taboo to the next level with an exceptionally gory thriller. Diane Lane stars as the head of an FBI internet task force whose job it is to investigate illegal websites. One day she receives a tip regarding a new site where people are filmed on a webcam being slowly killed. The hook is, the more people who log on, the faster they're bumped off, and in ever more inventive and gruesome ways. Director Holbit, of last year's enjoyable Fracture, has crafted a chilly, dark and atmospheric thriller. Not your typical torture porn, it's not the gore that disturbs so much as the unsettling thought that it's probably only a matter of time before a website like this really appears.
An entertaining thriller for the Youtube generation.

This is a serial killer/detective thriller that mixes the Saw time-running-out theme with the Kiss The Girls style detectives-closing-in. There have been so many serial killer films since Silence of the Lambs that original plot points are typically limited to finding more inventive ways to kill someone. That applies here: the main original point being the use of website hits to increase the rate of torture to the victims.
The murders themselves are violent but not as gory as some, e.g. the later Saw sequels. The acting and direction are solid; Diane Lane is an effective lead, while Joseph Cross is suitably 'normal' but still creepy as the killer. Most unusually, for a film featuring high-tech FBI analysis of internet crime, the technology and terminology used is realistic. As someone who works in IT, I'm always irritated by huge fonts and email that arrives by flying across the screen. The FBI geeks talk in IP addresses, DNS routing and backdoor trojans (don't panic non-geeks, this is all brief conversation!); most importantly from a reality point of view, the computers used are all PCs. There's nothing more unrealistic in a movie than all characters using Apple Macs. Overall, I had limited expectations from the film but actually enjoyed it. It's not a classic but perfectly watchable.
The Blu-ray transfer has little opportunity to shine, with most scenes shot at night or in dark interiors. There is some film grain evident particularly on faces, but with plenty of detail too. The sound is very good, from the footsteps moving around the soundstage in the opening scenes to hefty subwoofer use in some very realistic claps of thunder towards the end.

Worth a Watch, but nothing special
The simple basis of the film is about a serial killer who snatches unsuspecting victims, then kills them live on the Internet. Read more
