An effective exercise in "confined cinema," Panic Room is a finely crafted thriller that ultimately transcends the thinness of its premise. David Koepp's screenplay is basically Wait Until Dark on steroids, so director David Fincher (Seven, The Game) compensates with elaborate CGI-assisted camera moves, jazzing up his visuals while a relocated New York divorcée (Jodie Foster) and her daughter (Kristen Stewart) fight for their lives against a trio of tenacious burglars (Jared Leto, Forest Whitaker, Dwight Yoakam) in their new Manhattan townhouse. They're safe in a customized, impenetrable "panic room," but the burglars want what's in the room's safe, so mother and daughter (and Koepp and Fincher) must find clever ways to turn the tables and persevere. Suspense and intelligence are admirably maintained, with Foster (who replaced the then-injured Nicole Kidman) riffing on her Silence of the Lambs resourcefulness. It's not as viscerally satisfying as Fincher's previous thrillers, but Panic Room definitely holds your attention. --Jeff Shannon

Riveting!.......2007-06-27

A very suspenseful thriller--well-crafted, directed, and acted, with a full variety of characterizations and non-stop, heart-pounding scares. Recommended,

Edge of the seat.......2007-05-13

Jodie Foster is great again! This movie will keep you glued. Great chilling and suspenseful.

PANIC INDEED!.......2007-03-25

A very tense thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat through out! It does go a little over board towards the end,but it is still a first rate thriller. The superbit version I have, did not impress me any more or less than a standard DVD release.

A lesson in home construction.......2007-03-09

The next time you remodel or build a new room or home, add this to your plans. As the threat of terrorism increases those old 1950s bomb shelters are in vogue. Use this movie as a model. A lot of valuable information here.

WTFis a panic room?.......2007-01-07

There was a lot of negative hype about this movie, so I decided to sit down, watch it and set the record straight. So, I gather up the usual movie watching essentials, (popcorn, pizza, shinerbock, green tea, Hershey bars, cornnuts, barbeque, French onion, cheddar, salt and vinegar flavored potato chips, a slab of ribs, and some carrots and celery stick, so I won't get fat) and proceed to watch the movie. From the moment the movie started...I could tell it was going to be interesting. I was very right. The story starts out with a woman and her daughter trying to find a house. They find this humongous house with a {you'll never guess} panic room in it. During their first night...the house gets broken into. From that moment on...you will be on the edge of your seat. The cinematography was wonderfully done. It was full of suspense that kept you on the verge of your chair. Amen.
So that's about it. Just to recap. You like movies? You like houses? You like chicks? Oh, hell, you like men??? Well, all of these are a factor in this movie, so watch and enjoy. If you don't like it, you can get the F#@K out!

Terror in the Dark........2007-01-12

This was a dark movie as a single mother and her pre-teen daughter, Sarah, moved to 94th Street. It was strange to get oout and search for an apartment at night. With the scary movie, you have to use imagination to figure out what they are doing. The owner specifically showed them the Panic Room and explained what its purpose was, to hide from things. The secret is that $30 million was hid in this hidey hole. The rooms were pretty large as Sarah rode around on her scooter; schoolhouse lights hung from the ceiling. Meg, (Jodie Foster in glasses) appears to be a homely type. The intruders knew that the house had a peep-hole.

Perhaps all of the darkness makes for mystery. but it would have been more effective had the film been made in black and white. Lighting has a lot to be desired. Everything was dreary, no fun, no laughter. It was most frustrating to not be able to see what is happening. I've never liked movies filmed at night in big cities, or in the dark indoors. We could see silhouettes of violence as the three outsiders tear the inside of the house apart with sledge hammers and noisy, loud chainsaw, looking for the stach of money.

Camera work was erratic and the conversations confrontational with no love shown. It was verbally abusive with lots of swearing and cussing. This was like a late-night soap opera in drag. The visitor did not take the spoils. Instead... Sarah was more adult than her mom at first. Terror and abuse is something some kids learn in an unhappy marriage. It is possible that Meg's husband, Steve, is involved with this intrusion.

Before Sarah suffers a panic attack, after seeing her university prof father talking to the criminals, Meg becomes hysterical as her cell phone was not of much use in the Panic Room. She had called her husband and said "there are three..."

The concierge, French for superintendent of supplies like Mona claimed to be in a Los Angeles hotel where Nat King Cole called her Mona Lisa, was avaukabke at a fancy apartment house near Central Park. Some way, Meg had sent a subliminal message on the phone; the police arrive at the request of Steve. At least, they know how to treat a woman out there, as opposed to K. P. who showed me no respect or integrity to a woman who was almost killed. After the rescue, suddenly we see color as things appear normal for the first time.

Meg and Sarah are out in the Park on a Fall day in glorious color. How much better this movie would have been had we seen a bit of that color throughout and not relegated to the ending. It was wasted by then. There is no honor among thieves.

Good Thriller..............2006-03-04

Jodie Foster yet again does not fail to give us an outstanding performance in this gripping thriller. The film centers around Meg ( Foster ) and her young daughter Sarah. They live in New York following Meg's divorce. In their home is a hidden room built to provide safety for in case of a break in. Well, the unimaginable happens when 3 intruders break into the home in search of something very valueable to them that was left behind by the previous homeowners. Meg and her daughter must now fight for their lives while hidding in their Panic Room. This is a edge of your seat thriller as you see what a mother will do to save not only herself but her sick daughter. Great story and good performances with some violence. I'd suggest anyone who has not seen this movie, rent it for if you like good thrillers, this movie won't disappoint. Jodie Foster gives this movie a extra star with her great performance.
