A blatantly derivative serial killer thriller that proceeds to tick off every single cliché of the genre has nothing to offer beyond what weve already seen before. The au-courant, set-piece heavy script is skilled enough and the characterization are competent, but still Untraceable dvd feels hollow. What is ultimately more disturbing than the premise itself is the way director Gregory Hoblit injects a sensational voyeuristic element to the proceedings. I felt as though I needed a good wash after watching. Theres a good movie to be made about the power of the virtual mob, the ethical consequences of participating in it, the costs of free will. But Untraceable isnt it, not by a long shot. Life is too short for long-term exposure to relentless agony and distress, even in the guise of entertainment. Wow, can that Diane Lane work a wireless mouse. And she typed that Control ALT Delete with such authority! Oh, my — what was that? — she minimized a window and activated a program with a hot key!
