“Untraceable” Was Absolutely…Eh…Well…Uh…

This sums it up quite well from the KATU Movie Guys:

The one real reason to see this movie is Portland. We love Portland. We love the Broadway Bridge. We love that traffic snarl at the Rose Garden as you merge from I-5 to I-84. We love the old homes in the Hawthorne and Laurelhurst districts. It all looks so good on film. Unlike The Hunted, there are no scenes where the Willamette River later turns into rapids. The city’s geography is portrayed realistically and that’s great.

Untraceable isn’t a totally bad movie, but it isn’t very good and I really can’t recommend it. If you do decide to go, perhaps it’ll encourage more people to shoot their films here and pump money into the economy. That’s a good thing. Let’s just hope that some better movies are shot here. Oh, one more thing. If you ever get an e-mail from a guy telling you he has free Winterhawk tickets for you, don’t meet him in a dark parking lot.

Enough said, and with it having been said, if you go see this movie, try and find me. I spotted myself in three different scenes and I have a total on-screen time of about four seconds, which means you’ve gotta have a trained eye. If you don’t know what I look like then you’re S.O.L.

But hey, if you do see me, you win a chicken dinner. On me. It’ll take some of the sting of seeing the movie away.

Oh, and Fox 12 got scathed in the movie, big time.
