Plot – Spoilers:
FBI agent Jennifer Marsh who works in cybercrime is given notice about a website livestreaming torture and murder. Each victim dies a unique death that is hastened when more people watch. The website owner is ubersmart even if he has to indulge in one or two technical implausibilities along the way and has a plan to target the very people trying to shut him down. Being a Hollywood film, it’s ok to show extreme violence against humans but not against the cat. Once you’re able to concede all this, Untraceable makes for a pretty decent watch, given its premise.
If you’re an animal lover, watch out because the cat in the beginning dies. They could have added ‘violence against animals’ then I would have known to skip that shit! Be careful when you watch it!
A watchable film but this is typical hollywood bullshit.
An entertainingly gritty crime techno-thriller with a clever killer who uses gruesome traps reminiscent of Saw for live snuff feeds. As the description says, there are some technical implausibilities and a little suspension of disbelief is necessary, but I’ve always loved this movie.
ive been after this film for ages but i thought it was untraceable
This one hell of a great thriller & thoroughly keeps you invested, some may agrue that its not really an effed up movie, but i disagree
The killer & his methods are equally brutal & sadistic as the protagonists of SAW or SE7EN both which feature, extremely clever & sadistically coldblooded killers, this guy is equally chilling & nasty as John kramer or John doe & yet more human which makes him even darker frighting.
The whole internet “likes & views” & general lack of empathy of the internet culture is the premise & it really fits well with todays society, even more so than the time over 15 years ago when it was made, excellent movie, if you liked Saw or Seven this is for you.
anyone can find this
“More than 14 years have passed since that ill-fated day when, blinded by promises at home and abroad, the German volk [people] lost sight of the most valuable assets of our past and of our Reich, its honour and its freedom – and thus lost everything. Since those days of treachery, the Almighty has withheld His blessing from our Volk. Dissension and hatred have made their way into our midst. In the most profound distress, millions of the best German men and women from all walks of life watch as the unity of the nation vanishes and dissolves in a muddle of political and egotistical opinions, economic interests and differences…
The misery of our volk is appalling! The starving millions of unemployed proletarians in industry are being followed by the impoverishment of the entire Mittelstand [middle-class] and artisan professions. [Our Regime] will extend its strong, protecting hand over Christianity as the basis of our entire morality, and the family as the germ cell of the body of our volk and State. It will reawaken in our volk, beyond the borders of rank and class, its sense of national and political unity, and its resultant duties. It will establish reverence for our great past and pride in our old traditions as the basis for the education of our German youth. It will declare a merciless war against spiritual, political and cultural nihilism. Germany must not and will not drown in anarchistic communism!”
