"The film's mixture of fun and historical facts sets it apart from other recent action films and though there is some mild violence, the movie is family-friendly for tweens and up." -- DVDSleuth.com

"Untraceable falls between two worlds. It's a slick-looking movie with a few recognizable faces, so it's above pay-cable fare. However, the story is reminiscent of other movies, which makes it similar to all of those direct-to-DVD movies which litte" -- DVDSleuth.com

"One Missed Call is a perfectly serviceable horror movie. It's got an interesting story, a plot which (mostly) makes sense, and some creepy visuals. I'm not sure what else people were looking for with this one, but it's a perfectly good rental." -- DVDSleuth.com
