Untraceable is a 2008 thriller film which stars Diane Lane, Joseph Cross, Billy Burke, and Colin Hanks. It was directed by Gregory Hoblit and is distributed by Screen Gems. The film is a social commentary on Internet schadenfreude.[1]
Set in Portland, Oregon, the film involves a serial killer who rigs contraptions that kill his victims based on the number of hits received by a website ("www.killwithme.com") that features a live streaming video of the victim. Naturally, millions of people log on, hastening the victims' violent deaths. Lane plays the protagonist, a cybercop named Jennifer Marsh, who pieces the mystery together, at great risk to the personal well-being of herself and her family.

Has anyone seen this movie? What are your intakes and opinions on it?
Do you think that it's plausible for a killer like that to exist?
I personally don't think that there's a website that can't be shut down. Despite the explanations there are many ways to either ban or restrict access to the site so I don't think that a killer like that can get away with law enforcement.
I watched the movie last week and thought it was all right. It wasn't the best thriller but neither was it the worse. It was a lot less gory than I thought because I was expecting saw material which isn't the case here. Although people have complimented on the unique killing techniques. For some reasons, maybe because the victim was allowed to scream or didn't scream too much I didn't get the impression that they were extremely painful. lolz I thought the first half was kind of boring and pointless. It gets better towards the end but the movie itself didn't keep be glued to the screen nor did it felt suspenseful enough. I thought they also gave away the killer too soon. I'd give this one a 5.5/10
