Untrackable

Another movie checked off the list: Untraceable. Similar to a certain Millennium episode? You bet! (That said, this isn't the most original idea by now.)

The movie has a set-up: someone gets trapped and their death is put out on the web, and the more people tune in, the quicker the person dies. The movie gets this idea up and running, then does it again and again and again... okay, we get it! Saw, this isn't, but it certainly thinks the audience wants one death after another. (Fine, some audiences do want this, but this isn't really the movie to draw that audience.)

Still the ending stands out for many points, even aside from the interesting denouement. The exact ending of the movie is... unusual. I won't go into details, but this isn't any standard Hollywood ending. I almost wanted the Hollywood ending, but plaudits for them for going for something different.

Not bad, at the end of the day, but not that great either...
