UNTRACEABLE Film Review - 22/4/08

From the smashing kick-arse trailer this really did look like it was going to produce the goods as an FBI Cyber Crime Squad get's involved with an Internet killer that tortures and kills his victims online and seems to be a total whizz at all things technical and computer-wise. Then the spinning start descends into a rather sluggish plod as it's a cat and mouse web version of "Saw" that although has it's odd tension moments spirals out of control and suddenly the ending hits in seconds - it's a mad rush - and it's all over and done with. Diane Lane gamely holds it all up but it's more of a pedestrian killer thriller made by the numbers. Something that will spook you for an hour or so and then you'll never watch again. Like-ably entertaining for all it's faults!
