One of my all time favorites.

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Fantastic!

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Panic RoomTicking for almost 2 hours, it seems a bit long and stretched considering its premise (it could have easily been of around 90 minutes), it needed a better editing to satisfy the viewers in the end but other than that it works for the most part of it. David Fincher doesn't compromise on the execution but seems a little irresponsible on the editing part and as far as David Koepp's screenplay is concerned; its perspective is interesting enough to invest in it, but lacks on proving a point. Jodie Foster is good in her part and is supported well by great cast like Forest Whitaker, Jared Leto and Kristen Stewart. Panic Room is a fine popcorn entertainer that roots for the big bucks but fails to go deep and take risks which then leads into a shallow soulless feature that looks good in a first glimpse but nothing beyond that.

Beautifully Directed movie by David Fincher. Very natural and flawless acting by Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart. Loved the thugs who enter the house too. especially Forest and Jared Leto. Overall a very entertaining and suspenseful movie until the end and hooks you right from the beginning and maintains it until the end.

Mother and daughter move in a big house, learn about secret room and become victims of robbery the first day they moved in. Three guys with totally different motives for robbery are looking for couple of millions hidden inside house. From the start Fincher shows us some pretty nice directing of the movie and how camera goes from scene to scene. After Meg realizes that they are in trouble she picks her daughter up from sleep and manages to get inside panic room. Now movie turns into a big thriller story which has it's high and low notes that sometimes get too dull and just have no sense. Considering that Meg and Sarah are unable to contact anybody only thing left is to wait and after Sarah gets seizure attack movie really speeds up and gets to a different pace which is more exciting than the one before and now there is a lot of violence, action sequences and even some pretty tense moments that really kicked in at right time. Jodie Foster played Meg and she was very good as well as Forest Whitaker that played one of the intruders and his character was a really nice touch to the whole story. 3/4

Watching Panic Room's trailer or reading a quick snippet of the plot points towards the film being just another cheap thriller. However, what David Fincher can do with any script is so remarkable its really something to be admired. Panic Room is a simple story with terrific acting and setting. The apartment complex and panic room's visual intrigue has just as much character as Jodi Foster's persistence, Forest Whitaker's cunningness and Jared Leto's desperateness. There is a great build up scene after scene with clever plot developments that cause many twists and turns. The darkness in the dialogue is genuinely frightful and realistic to what would be an actual home invasion. Although there is a bit of a downward spiral towards the end the technical and stylish directing of Fincher is just too good to discount. Panic Room is a high quality thriller and worth at least one watch having not too much in the way of replay value after that.
