Summary: Fantastic Suspense-Thriller
Review: I saw this movie with a few of my friends and boy I have to tell ya it was the best thriller I've seen in years. This movie exhabits fantastic camera shots as well as the edge-of-seat suspense most moviegoers want to have when seeing this thriller. The plot is well written as well as the casting. I must say, if you have high blood pressure, make sure you take your medication before you go see this movie. They should definitely have a warning sign put outside the movie enterance!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A masterpiece !!!
Review: This has to be one of the best movies I have ever seen! Jodie Foster delivers an amazing performance as the beautiful Meg Altman. This is one of Jodies best movies ever made! Kristen Stewart plays the role of Meg's daughter Sarah who is a brilliant girl and also diabetic. The robbers that invade Meg's house are pretty hilarious! They have no clue what to do to get into the Panic Room. They will crack you up! If you like a good thriller, this is the movie for you. If you enjoy Jodie Foster as much as I do, then you will also want to see this movie! I hope you enjoy it!

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ANOTHER WINNER FOR JODIE
Review: This movie was fantastic. I thought Jodie was excellent. She played the victim but you could never tell by the way she portrayed the new homeowner being burglarized during her first sight. Her daughter, wonderfully done by Kristen Stewart, seemed to have a sexual identity problem. Apparently whoever decided to give Jodie a daughter, must have had a son in mind. It's a very suspensful movie, you should watch it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: David Fincher is a genius
Review: When I saw the trailer to this film, I heard David Fincher's name. I loved Fight Club. So I went with high expectations for the film and that's exactly what I got.

The film blew my mind away. Jodie Foster was so great in this film. I heard that Nicole Kidman was originally supposed to be the leading role, but she was injured while filming Moulin Rouge so she didn't have enough time to heal and be in Panic Room. I was kinda mad about that but what can you do?

Kristen Stewart was also excellent at playing Jodie Foster's daughter. For a newcomer, she was outstanding.

The whole movie had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The thing I loved most about it was when Fincher used the digital camera movements.

The plot was great, the film was great, the actor's were great and directing was outstanding. I suggest that if you are breathing and alive to go see this film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Missing the Forest for the Trees
Review: I give this movie a 5 star rating for the lack of a 10 star rating. This movie is phenominal! I am incredibly disappointed with the reviews that have been written for this movie, here. It seems that the people who don't like it hated it because of its lack of plot, where the people who liked it did so because of the "thrill." Why hasn't anyone dug deeper into this movie? The movie's surface is about this woman and daughter who end up being trapped in the Panic Room etc. etc. the plot has been sumarized numerous times. No one has dug deep enough to realize that the movie is about us all; how we think. The three antagonists aren't just "three robbers," they are to represent human fears. One is paranoia and fear, another is death and pain, and the third is weakness and the fear of security for others. This huge house that the entire movie takes place in is symbolic of the mind, holding all of this "stuff." Our two protagonists are representing the "good thoughts," how we think normally. The whole concept of these three "bad thoughts" forcing our two "good thoughts" into the Panic Room, shows us how we can run from our fears into a secure part of our mind, where everything will be okay. I won't say anymore, but I hope at least someone will see this movie for it's REAL story, not just the first layer. Watch it again, now enjoy.

Summary: Suspenseful movie!
Review: I'm not sure that I remembered to breathe while watching this movie. From start to finish it is laden with suspense. Jodie Foster plays a newly-divorced woman who is making a home with her daughter, played by Kristen Stewart. "Home" is a large, beautiful place in Manhatten which comes complete with a panic room, an inpenetrable place reinforced with steel and guaranteed to keep out anyone who wants to get in. Of course, someone does want to get in. Three someones, in fact, are determined to get in and retrieve the millions of dollars they know are locked up in a safe in the room. Foster and Stewart manage to get into the room when the men break into their house, but the crooks play a game of cat-and-mouse with them, while trying to flush them out. Foster matches wits with the bad guys while trying to take care of her diabetic daughter and it all adds up to a taut thriller.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Edge of your seat thriller!
Review: If you enjoy thrillers, you'll be entertained by this one.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Should have been made for tv
Review: The plot for Panic Room would make for an adequate made-for-tv film. However, turning it into a theatrical release stretches the storyline well beyond the breaking point.

A freshly divorced mom and her teenage daughter move into a new house. In the heart of the house is a panic room - a fortified room that is impossible to get into, and provides absolute safety for the occupants. This premise already begins to grind down the flimsy plot.

When three crooks break into the house looking for a specific set of valuables, Foster and her daughter take refuge in the panic room. So all they have to do is wait for the cops to come, right? Wrong. To keep the story moving along another twenty paces, like some desert castaway dragging himself a few more yards to an oasis, the scriptwriter throws in one contrived plot device after another. Why can't the crooks loot the rest of house? Because what they want is in the panic room. Why can't the crooks just tell the girls to hand over the valuables so they can leave? Because the intercom only works one way. Why can't the girls call the police? Because the phone hasn't been hooked up. Why can't the girls just wait out the crooks? Because some life threatening illness occurs.

I assume the director is trying to make the point that the panic room serves as both refuge and prison. But can you really develop a full-length film based on this premise? Why don't the girls hide out in a walk-in closet or a meat locker? Because the title "Walk-in Closet" or "Meat Locker" just isn't as catchy as "Panic Room."

Foster is a bit lifeless, Forest Whitaker does an acceptable job conjuring up sympathy, and the rest of the cast is adequate. The artsy camera maneuvers are interesting for twenty seconds, but is certainly not enough to save this film from the realm of wait-until-its-on-video movies.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Yalping turkey steak.
Review: Boring and precedent-setting in its predictability. I would rather watch reruns of Alf. Alf, at least would eat different cats on occasion, thickening the plot to an extent that didn't even exist as a fart of a notion to director David Fincher when he [flopped] out this yalping turkey steak.
