A divorced woman and her diabetic daughter take refuge in their newly-purchased house's safe room, when three men break-in, searching for a missing fortune (www.imdb.com).
Director: David Fincher (Alien 3, Se7en, Fight Club)
Starring: Jodie Foster, Kristen Stewart, Forest Whitaker, Jared Leto
Panic Room is not one of David Fincher's best. But that doesn't mean it's bad. Foster and Stewart are an impressive pairing as mother and daughter, breaking out of the usual female's 'damsel in distress' situation. Forest Whitaker and Jared Leto are two of the three burglar-villains set on stealing money hidden in Foster's new home's panic room, which is where mother and daughter have taken base. Both parties use their heads rather than their resources to resolve their conflicts. Panic Room is a little on the predictable side, but extremely tense throughout. It's not one of those films you can flick in and out of, as it had me grabbed by the privates, from the moment the burglars enter the house.
3.5/5
