Cin’s Movie Critiques

Guest Review by Sadie Somerville

Is it just me, or have you all realized how much the world uses the Internet? There is almost everything on the Internet. Schools, videos, music, books, everything. Especially videos. It seems like people always get a kick out of watching videos on the Internet. Some are intelligent and information, some are for music and most are just for silly entertainment. I noticed that lately my grandpa Brett has been a YouTube fanatic. I never really got into the whole video online stuff, but he seems to enjoy it. It seems like each time I come over to his house he has a new video to show me. It’s quite amusing. Some of my friends also have been showing me videos and I grin and bear it, because I personally don’t think they are that funny, but they do. But that’s with a lot of things. I might as well have Party Pooper stamped on my forehead, but I do try. Anyways, there are a lot of sites that show videos and whatnot. Like I said, there are videos about almost everything. Some are actually quite gruesome-

Untraceable

Diane Lane, Billy Burke. Rated R for grisly violence and torture, some language. 2008, Suspense. Sadie’s Critique:

Untraceable is about a cyber killer. A cyber killer who has a website that shows people slowly dying. The more people who visit the site, the faster the victim dies. FBI Agent Jennifer Marsh begins to investigate the case, trying to figure out where the site is coming from, to find who has created it. She does all of this, only to find that the site is untraceable. The victims on the site begin to increase, as do the viewers. Now the victims are dying in minutes, verses hours. As the investigation continues, Jennifer Marsh becomes a target. Now in a race to protect her own life, she has to figure our who the sick-minded Creator of the site is and who the next victim is-before it’s too late.

Despite the occasional sickening sites in this movie, the plot and such were very good. It kept you guessing. You definitely had to follow what they were saying and had to concentrate to keep up with the movie. I really enjoyed it. I’d give it four stars.
