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.

1/5

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

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.

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.

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.

1.5/4

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.

1/5

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.

I thought it was impossible to write a plot so threadbare as Untraceable’s, but someone has managed it. I found myself accurately predicting the dialogue over and over until I gave up and bailed out with 30 minutes left to go. Even worse - this film is Saw dressed up in hi-tech drag. It also has two of the film industry’s worst stock characters: Female Boss and Genius Little Girl, closely related to the very worst stock character, the Wise Teen. A more rewarding use of the viewer’s time would be reading a book or doing crossword puzzles.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

I saw this movie when I was very young still from this day. It gives me the creeps. I saw it when I was getting into high school. I saw it when I was a sophomore in high school. I will never forget the one scene with the acid. It made me shake so violently bad I just kept my eyes closed really the entire film and I will never watch the scene or movie again because it has creeps me the heck out of me. And I don’t recommend this watching this movie because I saw it a long time ago and I didn’t like it and I just don’t like the movie.

Underrated psychological, action, crime thriller. Diane Lane can pull off the 'federal agent' role pretty well. Still looks gorgeous here in her early 40's. Creepy killer and decent support from Colin Hanks and Billy Burke. Is there nothing that the beautiful, foxy Lane can't do?

Filme que envelheceu mal, mas seria bom se empregasse mais ação por parte dos atores.
