Untraceable

Cast: Diane Lane, Colin Hanks, Billy Burke, Peter Lewis. Directed by Gregory Hoblit. Story: The more people view a murderous web site, the sooner the victim carks. Running Time: 1hr 40 minutes. UK Certificate 18.

Untraceable is a computery thriller with an unusually compelling premise that peels away to reveal a standard and adequate murder drama.

Diane Lane stars as an FBI agent investigating a new web site that streams murders live over the internet. The twist is that everyone who views the site speeds up the victim's death - so potentially all the millions of viewers are accessories to the murder. As the title suggests, the web site is Untraceable, at least for the moment. Diane Lane, perhaps best known as Richard Gere's cheating wife in Unfaithful, isn't the natural choice for a computer specialist (you'd think they would've chosen one of the many starlets with silicon inside them, ho ho), but then you wouldn't want to spend 100 minutes watching anyone who does look like a computer expert, would you?

It's always tricky for someone making a movie with technical content, like computers. Leave out details and your average techno-twat will bleat about it. Explain everything and you have one hell of a boring movie. Untraceable's techie bits are almost entirely spot on, but you do get the impression that they've gone to great pains to let us know that they've thought it all through, which does tend to result in some very unnatural dialogue, particularly in the scene-setting opening. Fortunately though, this is only really necessary to set the ball rolling and once it does, the movie settles into a more familiar thriller pattern. There's never a great deal of doubt where things are headed and the ending is a little unsatisfactory, but at least we get Tom Hanks' son Colin adding some much-needed character.

Aside from the innovative setup, there isn't really anything new, but it is nonetheless an accomplished effort - not as good as the director's previous achievement, the excellent Fracture, but still worth your time.
