“Panic Room” is an interesting film, with a very interesting premise, but in the end its own cramped space (and cramped script) does it in. It’s a worthwhile film, Fincher shows his creative flairs every now and then, but perhaps a shorter running time would have benefited the movie. After all, if your concept is this limited, wouldn’t 90 minutes or less be much more manageable than an hour and 50 minutes?

This is an absolutely GOOD movie to watch. On this movie you will experience thrill, excitement, fear and rush! Strenght will show in times of adversities.
Also, the movie shows how a mother can be strong not only for herself but for her daughter... mostly for her daughter. Unexpected scenes will be seen on the movie. Fasten your seatbelt and enjoy watching.

A women and her daughter move to a new house. There's a special room in the house too. You can lock inside and no one can get in. One night robbers get in the house, looking for money they left a long time ago under the house. The women and her daughter panic and face a hell of a fight.

This movie is a nice piece of work! Those expecting or needing an edgy film ala Seven or Fight Club, don't bother. This movie does not pretend or intend to be what it is not. The camera work is great, the photography is great, and the acting is note-perfect given the script.

Nothing over-ambitious and the Fincher flick with the most appropriate running time and the least false notes so far. This is a classic thriller, much better than the negative reviews from other people led me to believe.

The photography is perfect for the movie. That includes the virtual camera work. Yes it looks like a David Fincher movie, but no it is not intentionally depressing and ugly as his others. The lighting works with the settings (3am in a huge house.)

Yes it's violent, that's why it's R rated. No, it's not something you'll necessarily want to watch a second time. This 90 very entertaining minutes of "now what's gonna happen"?

So suspend your disbelief a tad, sit back, and be entertained.

On their first night in their new New York home, Meg (Jodie Foster) and her daughter, Sarah (Kristin Stewart) are imprisoned in their panic room when three burglars break into the house looking for money.

Jodie Foster is truly excellent in this movie. I have yet to see a movie with her in it and feel underwhelmed. The movie is extremely fast paced and exciting as soon as the burglars enter the house.

A must see movie for thriller/drama or Jodie Foster fans.
