Film Obsessed

For the voyeur in you.

The Running Man  (1987)

The Condemned  (2007)

Untraceable  (2008)

Suprisingly, I liked the film UntraceablePlease refrain from laughing, no really, stop now.  I too was critical going into a film about an "internet terrorist", as the film so bluntly puts it, but Untraceable doesn't try to be strikingly original and its refreshing.  Instead, it is a film that very easily just lets you go, feeds you enough information to keep you interested, and then proceeds to the next step.  While watching a film about the dark side of internet voyeurism you quickly become the become just that, a voyeur waiting to see the cleverness of the next killing.  I could have done without the preachy rant at the end of the film by the criminal of the story, Owen, played by the masterfully cast Joseph Cross. Though Untraceable questions how far we are willing to go as a society much like the films Running Man and The Condemned did.  Are we truly ready so detached from violence in our society?  Don't we just want to have a peak at that car chase on the freeway, that dirty video of Paris, that crash site, or that murder?  Sure you do.  So go have a quick peak at Untraceable, its not real, and I promise it won't kill you!
