You could say that “Untraceable” starring Diane Lane, is a cyber-thriller as the movie tries to reach out to humanity and say that too much internet can kill you!
The movie is set in Portland, Oregon, and Diane Lane plays the role of Special Agent Jennifer Marsh of the FBI’s cyber crime unit which deals with the investigation and prosecuting criminals that use internet as a “murder weapon.”
Jennifer is a widow and single mom too, who is living with her mother, Stella (Mary Beth Hurt), her 8-year-old daughter, Annie (Perla Haney-Jardine), and a cat.
She works at night in order to spend more time with her daughter and mainly because the cyber-criminals are most active during the night. The criminals that she and her colleagues catch are mainly pornographers, pedophiles and fraudsters.
So you can say that she has seen it all…until now.
