Summary: One Of The Best Movies I Have Ever Seen
Review: Panic Room Is The Best Thriler I Have Seen In Years With This Much Style And Energy. Jodie Foster Is Believable As The Divorced Mom. I Wish She Did More Like This Because You Hardly See Jodie Foster In Movies Anymore, But This Is A Trimph For Foster. Director David Fincher Has Much For An Eye Of Capturing His Actors And His Style Of The Movie. I'm Giving This A Bonus Because It's Very Rare When The Main Charactor Doesn't Do Anything Stupid! The Film Is Eniously Suspensful. It Always Is True To What It's And Never Anything Else. I Loved Panic Room And I Can Garantee That You Will Have A Good Time Seeing It. No Matter If You Like It Or Don't... You Will Have A Good Time. It Is Not A Horror Film At All For Those Who Don't Like Them. I Am Suggesting That Everyone Who Reads This Should See Panic Room. It's A Lot Of Fun For Everyone In Your Household! Rated R For Violence, And Language Nothing Else.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ENTERTAINING
Review: I was very impressed with Forest Whitaker Dwight Yokum. The two of them are very driven by different things and it works very well here.

Summary: Finchers disturbing masterpiece
Review: I saw Panic Room last night. I am not going to lie to y'all, I was looking forward for it because I love Jodie Foster. I have to say that she did it again. The movie itself is sinple, but require great acting. Of course, Jodie and Forrest Whitaker managed to carry out the whole movie. It is a good suspense thriller. Well acted, well directed!

Summary: No Panic - It's a great movie
Review: In her first role since 1999's Anna and the King, Jodie Foster is simply wonderful as Meg Altman in this one heck of a thriller movie, PANIC ROOM! In this film there is little time to establish any since of normality, until the action breaks with a tag-team of three robbers breaking into Meg's new four story 4,200sq foot NYC brownstone. Meg, of course immedently wakes her daughter and they run to the Panic Room, a fortified fortress, within her castle of a home! From her station in the Panic Room, Meg, though the use of cameras commissions a standoff with the robbers, them all the time trying to get into the Panic Room, with Meg trying all the time to contact the outside world to help her get out of the Panic Room. This makes for some very intersting situations when you inject a diabetic daughter, a caring ex-husband, dazzling visual effects, a fearless robber, a money -hungery robber and another with heart of gold! This is a film not to be missed!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A 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 this year! The movie exihbits fantastic camera shots as well as the edge-of-seat suspense most moviegoers want to have when seeing a 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: This movie rocks!
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. She seems pretty dumb in the beginning, but believe me, she's not so dumb. This is one of Jodie Foster's best movies ever made! Kristen Stewarts plays the role of Meg's daughter Sarah who is a brilliant girl and also a 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! I mean come on, you have Dwight Yoakam playing a bad guy. How funny is that??? If you like a good thriller, this is the movie for you. If you enjoy Jodie Foster as much s I do, then you will also want to see this movie! I hope you enjoy it!

Summary: Panic Room
Review: This was not the quite "Thriller, edge of your seat" movie they hyped about. But I admit it kept me interested throughout the entire movie.
It 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 night. 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.
Dwight Yokum was evil beyond description except when he got caught in the Panic Room.
This was one helluva good movie. I highly recommend it to all Jodie Foster fans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Could be a classic
Review: The film blew my mind away. Jodie Foster was 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 very excellent at playing Jodie Foster's daughter. For a newcomer, she was outstanding.

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

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

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A solid movie with great acting. DVD could be better.
Review: Like all of David Fincher's movies, "Panic Room" is more a study in cinematic style than it is cohesive storytelling. And while "Panic Room" lacks the surprising twists and turns of "The Game" and "Fight Club", it still succeeds as a standard suspense movie, with Jodie Foster carrying it further with her usual charm.

The story is simple enough: Forster, a recently divorced mother, moves into a spacious Manhattan house with her teenage daughter (Kristen Stewart). The house is huge, with one unique feature, a "panic room", which is a self-contained safe room where people can retreat if something goes awry. Well, as luck would have it, something does go awry on their first night. A gang of burglars break in, assuming that no one's there. The gang is your typical stereotype: "The Nice One" (Forest Whitaker), the "The irrational one" (Jared Leto), and "The Psychotic One" (Dwight Yoakam). So Foster and her daughter retreat to the panic room and lock themselves in. Here's the twist: What the burglar's want is in the panic room.

Nothing special, but for some reason, it works quite well. Many people have called "Panic Room" a violent, adult version of "Home Alone", but I think this movie deserves better. The writing is very well done, considering the mundane subject matter. The acting is first rate, with Foster doing her most believeable performance in years. Personally, I think she can make any movie good. David Fincher, ever the master of stlye, does some neat camera tricks, and the movie is kept interesting by the dark atmosphere. If you crave suspense, this movie will definitely please you. It has more than it's share of moments.

The DVD hails from the "Superbit collection", which boasts impeccable picture quality, but it's relatively light on the extras. There are no featurettes, no documentaries, no commentary, and no deleted scenes. Fincher's movies are so interesting that you crave the extras after you see them. I have no idea why they consider scene selection, language selection, and interactive menus to be "Special Features", since they are the industry standard. My guess is that there will be a special edition of "Panic Room" coming out sometime in the near future.
