Movie Reviews of Panic Room (Superbit Collection)
Movie Review: A Very Involving Story
Summary: 4 Stars
The movie gets high marks for getting the viewer involved with the story. It grabs you early on and doesn't let go.
The camera-work and David Fincher's direction is very good, especially with the low-angle shots in which the camera roams around the house at about floor level. That's very cool. His direction, along with a suspenseful story, makes this film intriguing.
The film in general is just a little too politically-correct, as there are three criminals all breaking into Jodie Foster's house and the black guy, naturally, is the only one shown with a heart. Jodie Foster isn't real likable here, either, as the liberal mom, nor is the spoiled kid. Parents take note: it's an "R"-rated film with lots of profanity.

But the room itself is the focal point because what the intruders really want is inside it.System Requirements:Running Time: 112 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?MYSTERY/SUSPENSE Rating:?R UPC:?043396064577 Manufacturer No:?06457An 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 divorc?e (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
