Review of Panic Room (2002) by Filipeneto — 24 Jul 2018
This movie has a simple script: a woman who has just moved is unexpectedly confronted with three burglars looking for money hidden in the house by the previous owner, taking refuge in a small panic room adjacent to the master bedroom.
Everything happens in a house almost without furniture and with a cast reduced to the minimum. Sounds like a problem? I guarantee you will not. Lightness and simplicity make the film even more elegant and easier to enjoy.
The film is not very tense and the antagonists are not necessarily bloodthirsty psychopaths, but the drama is guaranteed and the plot gives each actor the right time to shine without the film seeming to have been overstretched.
In fact, the pace is good, especially given the simplicity of all the story. The cast features a young Kristen Stewart and veterans Jodie Foster, Forest Whitaker and Jared Leto. They all lived up to what we could expect, turning this movie into a small pearl of good quality.
