Untraceable

I probably would have like this film over a year ago, maybe even back in January. It was a bit slow paced, and thank heavens is was only about 90 minutes. I appreciated that it took the view of the FBI from within and the geeks who could be brilliant hackers used their brilliance instead to catch other hackers. 

This movie was okay. It didn't suck, but it made me feel sick that right now there are a lot of movies focused on torture- Saw series and Hostel I and II- its great to be scared like No Vacancy, but actually having to watch fake toture is getting to be a bit much. The killer in the movie says something really naive. People will pay to see capital punishment for only 10$ and share the experience with thousands of other people. To be more fact based, the world or the Western world is completely more censored than say 400 years ago. What about all those people standing to watch royalty -French royalty- being guillotined. Is this not the same thing? This movie makes no new insights on human nature at all and the taste for murder whether we cringe or cheer, its been going on for who knows how long. Maybe the statement should have been more based on the idea that media and the internet gives people access to watch anything they want regardless if its moral or not. This movie was n0thing new except for the IT FBI agents.
