OH. MY. GOD!!!!! I just finished watching the movie Untraceable. That movie was amazing!!!! Holy crap, it was awesome for me. It involved crazy technology and insane suspense with a crazy psychotic killer. That movie was really good. I don't it get good reviews. In fact I just looked up some reviews, many of the newspaper I read pretty much called it awful. I don't agree it was so so good. I loved it. Clark Collis, from Entertainment Weekly, said "...after a much-too-early reveal of the murderer's identity, the 'low battery' signal starts to flash on this film...". That is the only review I agreed with. The killer's identity was revealed way to early. But I don't think we it really drew that much away from the story. We find out what the killer looks like, but that's it. We don't find out how is until the end. Some online user reviews said the gore and disturbing content were inappropriate for the film and the movie would have been better with less of them. I don't agree. The disturbing stuff is what keeps you on the edge of your seat. I loved the background story of the killer. I loved how all the victims were tied together in the end. It was genius. It really makes you think, of all the crazy disturbing shit online, could someone just snap because of it. Not because they are desensitized, but because they knew someone in one of the disturbing videos online. I really want to elaborate on that more, but if I say more it may ruin the end for anyone who hasn't seen it. I loved Diane Lane as the main character. Anyone else in that role wouldn't have worked as well or made the character what it was. I'm not positive if I loved the actual ending. I loved the ending, its just the last like 10 seconds I'm unsure about. It just ends. I think they should have added at least 2 minutes after what happened in the end, just to wrap it up and show Diane Lane's character back at the FBI. However, the way the movie ends keeps your heart pounding and doesn't let you calm down. Sometimes movies that end like that just adds to the suspense. I don't know. I guess I liked the ending, but I still think they should have added about two minutes. I think everyone reads this should rent this movie though and decide if you like this for yourself. I have included the trailer for the film below. Now I know the only person who reads this is Jessie, so Jessie you should see this.
