Middle America's Worldview

I had the chance to watch Untraceable last night with my brother. It was just the guys out, kindof thing. We had intended to watch "I am Legend", but it no longer was showing.

Anyway, the movie was actually pretty good. There were some political undertones in it. Specifically referring to net neutrality and online freedom. There is also reference to NSA unable(or unwilling) to assist the FBI, due to the wall between federal and domestic.

The basic premis is someone creating a website to ask others (the online viewers) to join in the murder. The more online viewers the faster the murder takes place. Needless to say, the time speeds up as news of the site grows online.

I won't provide any spoilers, but let's say the structure of the story is typical.

1)Two main characters (the hero ((main female character)) and the killer)
2)Mystery of who can it be
3)The mental game of will
4)It ends well

I will say, at least this movie had a pretty good storyline. It did provide the "why" in the end.

I recall at the end of the movie, my statement to my brother was "That's messed up".

I would recommened the movie.
