brilliant actors, brilliant editing

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The plot is original and in certain ways prescient for being a 2008 movie. Apart from the gross scenes, the only thing I didn't like was the stupid mistakes that the FBI agents apparently made. Maybe erring is human, but that didn't make that much sense.

OK, I live in a box so, there are things that slip by when they are new. This drama was new in 2008. I just watched it today. I am impressed at the suspense and the thrills. The cinematography is the main part of the story. This whole thing was filmed to make you think, scare you a bit, and make you believe this is all happening in your neighborhood. I was impressed by the storyline. As it progressed I kept thinking "yeah, this is what's going to happen". Then, things would change direction. When you turn this "very cool" Suspense Thriller on, you need to finish it completely. The last couple minutes are "stand up and cheer" emotional. Ms. Lane is a completely believable, overly dedicated, seriously gutsy, FBI Agent. I liked this movie right through the credits...........See it some evening with your "Buddy", a lot of beer, snacks, and the lights dimmed. Guys and Girls should find this a great "Movie Time" night.

FBI agent Jennifer Marsh (Diane Lane) is working cyber-crime with fellow agent Griffin Dowd (Colin Hanks). A tip comes in about a website livestreaming killing a kitten. It's an untraceable website that can't be shut down that is surprisingly originating from a local unknown place. Then the killer starts putting people in his torture chamber enlisting viewers who visit the site to help kill. Portland police detective Eric Box (Billy Burke) is investigating the case.The setup is pretty good for the usual serial killer fare. The movie lacks tension and excitement. The killer reveal is too early rendering much of the investigation uninteresting. Diane Lane does a strong job as a federal agent and a single mom. The ending is a bit disappointing as it winds down an interesting serial killer.

Diane Lane and a strong supporting cast make up for a "been there-done that" crime drama. The story contains a few original twists as well as a few serious implausibilities. Nevertheless, the direction, pace, and performances, especially Lane's and Bill Burke's, draw you in and by the abrupt conclusion, you are on the edge of your chair. Burke and Lane, as rival investigators, develop an interesting chemistry that builds through the film and is never compromised. Joseph Cross gives a creepy, effective performance as the deranged techno-killer. The fact that the story gives him such amazing capability to the point that you occasionally start rolling your eyes should in no way deter from his acting.All in all, nicely packaged if somewhat contrived; The story hinges on the fact that this "wunderkind" killer can continually crack every computer in his way, stay one step ahead of the law, and continue to capture victims for his morbid shows without skipping a beat. All that IS hard to believe, yet "Untraceable" was still satisfying entertainment.
