ReelViewsJames Berardinelli
The film, which has the ingredients for a thoughtful, tense thriller throws away a compelling first half so it can descend into silliness and clichés. Read full review

Washington PostAnn Hornaday
From its very first scene, Untraceable isn't the sophisticated, brainy thriller it so nearly could have been, but just another movie about a serial murderer. Read full review

Seattle Post-IntelligencerTravis Nichols
A genuinely creepy film, though not in a "No Country for Old Men" kind of way. More in an overzealous-blog-comments kind of way, or a dude-on-the-bus-looking-at-me kind of way. Just ugh. Read full review

Over and over again, Hoblit misses opportunities to make an engaging picture, instead giving us a merely pedestrian one. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineKen Fox
Even worse than its hypocrisy, gratuitous homophobia and cheap proselytizing, the movie is dull. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Kamal AL-Solaylee
While the punishments and triumphs are absolute, the entertainment value is highly equivocal. This ultimately relegates Untraceable to the ranks of so-so thrillers with legitimate but half-developed intellectual aspirations. And since you inspired the movie in the first place, part of the responsibility rests on, well, you. Read full review

Baltimore SunChris Kaltenbach
Lane gives the film her best shot; she's pretty much the only reason to see it. There's an intelligence mixed with ferocity that makes her performance compelling, far-more-so than anything else in the film. Read full review

The A.V. ClubKeith Phipps
Not only does Untraceable unmask its initially hidden killer with little ceremony, it's the sort of film that telegraphs every new development. Read full review

Portland OregonianM. E. Russell
Yet another mediocre-to-lame thriller shot in Portland. Read full review

Film ThreatPete Vonder Haar
Computer movies have come a long way since the good old days of monitors projecting vector graphics on hackers’ faces, but there are still some forehead slappers in Untraceable. Read full review

EmpireIan Freer
A competent suspenser, helped by the always-dependable Diane Lane, but it suffers by following the modern thriller playbook to the letter. Read full review
