Untraceable(2008)Within the FBI, there exists a division dedicated to investigating and prosecuting criminals on the Internet. Welcome to the front lines of the war on cybercrime, where Special Agent Jennifer Marsh (Diane Lane) has seen it all... until now. A tech-savvy Internet predator is displaying his graphic murders on his own website — and the fate of each of his tormented captives is left in the hands of the public: the more hits his site gets, the faster his victims die. When this game of cat and mouse becomes personal, Marsh and her team must race against the clock to track down this technical mastermind who is virtually untraceable.

Director: Gregory Hoblit Writers: Robert Fyvolent, Mark Brinker, Allison Burnett Starring: Diane Lane, Billy Burke, Colin Hanks, Joseph Cross, Mary Beth Hurt, Peter Gray Lewis Producer: Steven Pearl » See full cast & crew Untraceable Blu-ray, Video QualityUntraceable is found on Blu-ray with a good-looking 2.40:1, 1080p high definition transfer. This is yet another one of those films that seems so methodical in its shot selection, color palette, and overall drab look that it's a bit harder to judge than your standard-fare, nothing fancy movie. The film's subject matter is bleak, and the look of the film exaggerates that feel quite a bit. Shades of gray dominate most frames, all other primaries faded and dulled to the extreme. The image isn't super-detailed, but it looks good nevertheless, the dark, gray, dreary look of the film sometimes making detail appreciation and recognition a bit harder than normal. The image isn't overly sharp, either. Softness abounds in many scenes, but then again I firmly believe it's all part of the visual style of the movie. Flesh tones and black levels are both solid, about as good as can be expected at the moment. Many scenes are so dark that blacks dominate the screen, but there isn't much lost detail, all that seems to be obscured is what was meant to be obscured. Overall, I was pleased with this transfer. This is yet another Blu-ray that replicates the theatrical experience very well, retaining the wonderful film grain that gives it that cinematic feel, not to mention enhances the tone of the movie considerably. It's an extremely dark and gritty tone, befitting the mood of the movie extremely well, perhaps the best part of the movie, visually. This transfer is anything but crystal-clear, well-defined, and clean; instead, the movie opts for a darker, ugly look, one that is replicated to near perfection on this disc. Untraceable Blu-ray, Audio QualityBoasting a fine soundtrack, Untraceable's Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless sound mix offers listeners a fairly engrossing, realistic listening experience, one that that provides all the basics of a great soundtrack. This one is a fun listen, but reference quality it is not, mostly because of the slightly less aggressive nature of the mix that we hope for and expect from the best action-oriented pictures. There is very good sound panning right from the opening credits, and the sound is expertly placed as it moves across the front of the soundstage. Perfectly rendered ambience in many outdoor scenes adds to the realism of the mix, each sound placed appropriately and at just the right volume to boot. Rain and thunder are almost a character in the movie, and these moments are very dynamic without being in-your-face, the effect simply real and immersive, not over-pumped or too loud. Dialogue reproduction proved to be fine, although I did notice several instances featuring slightly muddled or hard-to-hear dialogue, though such instances were far and few between. While not numerous in number, several sequences offer very good bass, especially near the end of the film. Lows are never too low or distorted, instead rumbling at what seems to be the perfect level for the action depicted on-screen. You'll never feel it rattling the windows or your bones, but it is there in a large enough quantity to bring a smile to your face and a "wow, this sure is lifelike" signal to your brain. A few gunshots heard at the end of the movie proved to be so muted and subdued that they sounded like a pop gun, easily the worst part of this soundtrack. Otherwise, Untraceable offers up a solid, fun listen, one that at this point in the Blu-ray new release game is pretty much par for the course, and that, as they say, ain't bad.
