Untraceable

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite Diane Lane's earnest effort, Untraceable manages to be nothing more than a run-of-the-mill thriller with a hypocritical message.

[T]he honkingly stupid script is the kind that inspires Mystery Science Theater call-and-response. Go to Full Review

3/5
Lane is an imaginative actress, every bit as good as Jodie Foster, and the film is clothed in a dark and chilly atmosphere that Hoblit constructs with some skill. Go to Full Review

2/5
The problem with Hollywood films condemning the public appetite for torture is that they frequently pander to it, and this is a very lurid and unsavoury example. Go to Full Review

We, the real-life audience, are as sick as the movie's fictional viral audience if we reward the studio behind Untraceable with our dollars. Go to Full Review

For all the would-be with-it cyber/techno-speak, strip that all away, and Gregory Hoblit's film is completely stale and cliched thriller nonsense. Go to Full Review

Untraceable boasts a respected director (Gregory Hoblit of Fracture and Primal Fear), and a popular movie star (Diane Lane) but it's still about people getting tortured to death. Go to Full Review

Harry S Dec 29, 2018 Untraceable is a disappointing film. It is about an FBI agent Jennifer Marsh who is tasked with hunting down a seemingly untraceable serial killer who posts live videos of his victims on the Internet. Diane Lane and Colin Hanks give terrible performances. The screenplay is badly written. Gregory Hoblit did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture. See more
Theodore P Sep 16, 2018 Kitten tortured to death gruesomely as opening scene. Be advised, animals are commonly killed gratuitously in the making of films in spite of the false ASPCA statement at the end of credits, if the producers even care enough to insert it. Don't waste your time condoning this by watching this crap. See more
Kylo S Mar 12, 2018 Forgive the cap locks. I don't know why it is forcing me to scream. I don't know why people see this as a bad movie. It had the non-stop action of a good thriller and was actually pretty accurate with the theory of the dark web red room. working in high tech all of my life and being a fan of scary stories, i just found it amusing to find so many people who really know nothing about the internet hitting the video hard. Were you expecting something else? A romance? See more
Hermione M Oct 23, 2017 As suspense thrillers go, this one is just okay. It has a strong cast headed up by Diane Lane, respectable production values, but really the story has been done before (think "Seven") and some of the scenes are quite disturbing, as if they were taken right out of an Eli Roth horror flick. The real downfall here is the directing, which is pedestrian at best. It also has a very disappointing ending, which doesn't wrap up many of the dangling parts of the story. Ho hum... See more
Finn W Sep 2, 2017 A big budget shock thriller that tells a foreboding parable about the dangers of our Internet obsessed society. Diane Lane does what she can with a mediocre script as a cyber crimes detective with the FBI who is in charge of tracking down a sadistic killer who has created a website in which he tortures and eventually kills random people after receiving x amount of likes. It's tame and lame in portions and the identity of the killer is given far too early to allow for the amount of suspense it wants. See more
Rey M Apr 6, 2017 Procedural, mildly entertaining, cyber serial killer flick.
