Stuck somewhere between a polite Silence of the Lambs-esque thriller and the gory torture excess of the Saw series or Hostel, Untraceable just ends up feeling confused and surprisingly boring. Diane Lane is good, but she can't support a script that seems to think it's more clever than it actually is. There's nary a thrill to be found and you start to realize that this movie feels a lot like an unofficial remake of Dario Argento's The Card Player.
Not really worth your time or money. Wait for T.V.

I think it was really goood and yeah its nothing original but at least its worth the rent so to the people who didnt liked it FUCK YOU.
For what the subject matter was, it wasn't bad at all. It didn't try to be anything more than a typical CSI episode - and it would have been one amazing episode.
Sadly they released it as a movie - and it was one bad movie. It gives a whole new meaning to the words "unoriginal" and "anticlimactic".
But that wasn't my main complaint. If that was the only thing wrong with the movie, it would have at least got 5 stars.
So what was wrong with it?
I don't hate PG-13 horror. I hate horror that is rated R and doesn't use any of that potential. This movie could have been rated PG-13, because they cut the camera away every single time something potentially gory could have happened. First, it stole Saw traps - BUT THEN it made them pathetic and tame. Bloody? There were maybe a few ounces in the opening.
I saw the new Indiana Jones movie before I rented and watched this movie. Indiana Jones had more gore, and it was rated "light PG-13".
Dear God, can no movie be gory anymore other than the Saw series? Is there no movie who makers who aren't afraid to do bloodbath? Because, seriously, folks, I've seen E-rated video games with more gore than this lame false advertisement for a non-bloody CSI episode.
I thought this would be a good movie. Than it turned out to be a torture. torture should have stopped after saw 3. Now theres saw 3+4 which both sucked and hostel which i did enjoy. Now this. this movie was allright. the ending was what excited me. i wont spoil the ending for you if you hsvent seen it. but if u want to see a good movie thats a horror or thriller go see cloverfield, or the eye.
