Panic Room (3-Disc Special Edition)

Summary: Panic Room
Review: This film delivered everything it promised, intrigue and action filled suspense. The beginning built up to an exciting climax and we were left with a Shakespearean-like tragic ending. Jodie Foster and her on screen daughter Kristen Stewart delivered their roles fabulously, and their on screen foe, Forest Whitaker, was definitely their equal in that category. What I didn't enjoy: the two other "bad-guy" characters which were quite clichéd, and phoned in their performances. What I really enjoyed: awesome cinematographhy (reminded me a little CSI and What Lies Beneath). All in all, a solid, good film. I'd pay to see it in theatres again, especially to view the awesome credits at the beginning of the film again.

Summary: Far more plausible than others give it credit for.
Review: Any implausibility in the plot or scenerio of this film is made up for by the most accurate portrayal of type-1 diabetes ever captured on film. It's too bad that this goes almost completely unnoticed by critics and others who are very quick to point out certain "implausibilities" in the handling of the panic room itself (which I find difficult to understand--they certainly do not lessen the enjoyment of the film in any way). The fact that Kristen Stewart was not given the critical praise she deserves says less about her performace but far more about the general public's ignorance of the diabetic condition (and the ignorance of most film-goers and film critics). Stewart's was a trailblazing performance, as important as any that has been given by an actor playing a debilitating illness in recent past (Dustin Hoffman, Tom Hanks, among them). Fincher handles the most important scenes with great sensitivity and, of course, they are beautifully and accurately written by Koepp. The rest of the movie, don't get me wrong, is also quite good--I would say one of the better movies that has been seen this year. But it's shining glory is the absolutely miraculous portrayal of type-1 diabetes. This performance (and film) should not go unnoticed (as, sadly, it has).

Summary: Sould Be Nominated For A Golden Globe
Review: David Fincher did a terrific job. I think this movie should be nominated for best cinematography award! To bad Nicole Kidman had to drop out:( But, Jodie did a great job.

Summary: Fincher Did A Fine Job.
Review: When I first heard about what the plot for this film was going to be before I had seen it, I was worried. After seeing it I was very impressed. Not only with some of the best direction I've ever seen, but by some great acting by a great cast. This is a movie that I would love to see in a Special Edition other than the Superbit release in the near future. The special effects blend in perfectly in the film rather than detract from it. Even though the film only takes place in one building on one day, there is a fair amount of story to be told. This is a great film by a great director. If you loved this film, you should see: Fight Club, SE7EN & The Game.

Summary: My least favorite Fincher
Review: It is probably too much to ask that Fincher follow "Fight Club" with an equally groundbreaking piece of cinema. This film has plenty of thrills for your average movie-goer, the same person who will no doubt be impressed that the camera goes inside a keyhole and comes back out. But for those who value a higher level of story and technique, this film is not worth owning over other Fincher-helmed projects as "Se7en" or "Fight Club," both of which are available in excellent two-disc special editions.
