Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
muons Cast, acting, directing, cinematography and editing are very good with Panic Room. Despite some holes which are listed by other reviewers, the plot is not so bad. Yes, the events unfold in quite a predictable way but the movie is still very engaging with its fast tempo and suspense that never lets go. On the negative side, the ending turns out a bit cheesy with too much effort to redeem the character acted by F. Whitaker. One interesting observation is that with good acting and captivating storytelling, the plot holes become less noticeable. After all, engaged audience care more about entertainment than analyzing each and every incident with a fine comb. To sum up, this is a very enjoyable movie with its fast pace, unrelenting suspense and lack of fluff.
rdrvenkar This movie Panic Room about a single mom and her diabetic daughter's fight to get through a night of terror is amazing! After buying a house in New York following a hard divorce they are greeted on their first night in the house with 3 burglars who know something about their house that they don't. This movie was fast paced and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Highly recommend it for any audience that enjoys action!
Jithin K Mohan Probably Fincher's weakest along with The Game. With great performances from Foster and Whitaker and impressive performance from Stewart along with the seamless camera effectively using the CGI Fincher is able to thrill the audience. Some of the dialogues and some of the situations seemed a bit stupid but the direction is able to come above it. The feminist touch is elevated now considering the status of both the lead actresses right now.
Ersbel Oraph The film is well done and quite tensed. Most of the faults listed in the spoiler reviews are not faults, but highly frustrated viewers that are not very smart. The acting is good. And the tension is high enough the viewer won't notice the perceived goofs. Only the ending is weird and blows the movie. That last scene seems to have been added just before releasing the movie. Which gratuitously draws attention to the story. Yea, it is a heist story. And it's better than the ridiculous Home Alone. But there is no character development. And no goal. Just a two hour filler for some Saturday evening entertainment.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch
