Trivia:

Colin Hanks' serial-dater character mentions Peggy the secretary as an upcoming date. This is a nod to Hanks' appearance on "Mad Men" (2007) - Hanks plays Father John Gill, a priest who becomes acquainted with Peggy the secretary (played by Elisabeth Moss).

Goofs:

Continuity: In the motel room, the morning after Griffin's death, Marsh is showing Box a video clip in Windows Media Player. The main blue icon in the toolbar is a "play" button, instead of a "pause" button, which it should be if Media Player is currently playing back a clip.

Quotes:

[online, Griffin sits in a chamber with sulfuric acid pumping into it]
Detective Eric Box: If that's water in that tank, pretty soon he's going to be sitting in battery acid.

Underrated

That's the one word I'll tell you describes this film.Untraceable was an awesome, suspenseful, thriller with great action, new death strategies, and wonderful acting, that has "WAY TOO LOW" of a rating.Diane Lane was a great actress in this film, and she made the movie totally believable.While there were maybe 3 flaws I found in the story line, this movie was great entertainment.I found myself yelling at the screen and telling the people in the film what to do, and I have never been "THAT" interested in a film.There was 1 thing I found predictable, but most of the time I was so interested in the movie, that I was barely making any predictions AT ALL!!This was a wonderful film, that is under appreciated and if you haven't seen it PLEASE DO!!
