| Sometimes I'm confused on what people go to the movies for. I mean do they want to be scared? Do they want something new? Do they want an artistic statement that sums up life as we know it? I know why I go, to be entertained and to be moved - somehow, in a different way. People look at a movie like Untraceable and find it "appalling" and "distasteful", but I mean, aren't all horror movies like that? It is a pretty routine thriller in some places I'll admit, but what makes it different is its attack on (American) society and it's intriguing premise. I mean, everything they say is true: some people would go to websites like that. Some people are sick. You know, like the villains in horror movies, or maybe like every person on Earth. Credit should be given to Hanks and Lane for taking rather unglamourous roles, I mean nothing here is pretty to look at - all ugly all the time. In all, this is entertaining, so I like it. It might be hard to watch is some places, but that is only because the truth hurts. Plot/Originality - 80 Acting/Characters - 70 Dialouge/Screenplay - 69 Effects/Camerawork - 82 |
