Consensus:
Despite Diane Lane's earnest effort, Untraceable manages to be nothing more than a run-of-the-mill thriller with a hypocritical message.

Previsível e desinteressante, tenta contornar a trama clichê com cenas que investem na violência gráfica, mas sem sucesso.

Untraceable will have steam for a little while and then it is just going to die down and become the $5.99 movie at Walmart.

...a generic, garden-variety thriller that's almost entirely lacking in genuine thrills or surprises...

Neither terrible nor memorable, Untraceable is the sort of movie that lives up to its name %u2013 within an hour of seeing it, memories of it will vanish without a trace.

The movie's run of the mill stuff - fairly entertaining but not particularly inventive - with the standard twists and turns. Yet another film featuring a cute but horrific serial killer fixated on a beautiful and intelligent female law officer.
05/22/08
Part of the problem with "Untraceable" is the identity of the killer behind the Web site is revealed way too early, thus taking most of the mystery out of the movie.
05/20/08
Creepy, suspenseful cyber-thriller about downloading death, hacker homicide, and a baby-faced computer geek wielding a mouse as a deadly weapon.
05/09/08
[T]he honkingly stupid script is the kind that inspires Mystery Science Theater call-and-response.
05/01/08
What is ultimately more disturbing than the premise itself is the way director Gregory Hoblit injects a sensational voyeuristic element to the proceedings. I felt as though I needed a good wash after watching.

Even if you take the film's moral lesson at face value, the overkill is discouraging, and not very instructive.
03/21/08
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.
02/29/08
Some viewers might find the Hostel-style splatter hard to stomach while, for a smart cop, Lane sure does some dumb things.
02/29/08
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.
02/29/08
Very unpleasant, though skilfully put together by director Gregory Hoblit and acted with beyond-the-call empathy by Ms Lane.
02/29/08
This new variation on the theme isn't bad, in a gruesome and horrible way, and features a strong performance from Diane Lane as an FBI agent.
02/29/08
On the surface the film is a solid thriller, but there's more thought here than in the average serial killer flick.
02/29/08
Very enjoyable as a 'race against time' thriller and Lane is great as the weary but determined lead. It's just a shame that Untraceable's message is delivered in such a ham-fisted, hypocritical way.
02/29/08
In keeping with the title, this Silence Of The Lambs wannabe contains not a trace of originality, but should appeal to those who like their thrillers with a side order of gore.
02/29/08
Feels as if it's been patched together using 'auto-fill' screenwriting software.
