Review of Panic Room (2002) by Dann M — 01 Sep 2014
From director David Fincher comes the intense dramatic thriller Panic Room. The story follows a mother and daughter who lock themselves into a panic room when three burglars break into their new home. The cast is quite impressive and features strong performance from Jodie Foster, Kristen Stewart, Forest Whitaker, and Jared Leto.
Additionally, the script does a good job at thinking through the standoff with the burglars and at making it suspenseful. Fincher's directing however, is overdone and tries too hard to be mysterious and dramatic.
Panic Room isn't as big and compelling as it wants to be, but it's well-crafted and entertaining.
