Panic Room (2002)

Whats it about:
One of David Fincher's lesser known films, A mother and her daughter move into a new huge house after a split between the husband and wife. The new house is hi-tech with a panic room as well. On their very first night, 3 burglars break in. One of them is a man of conscience and he had actually designed the panic room on behalf of his security agency. The mom and daughter are forced to lock themselves into the panic room.
                   The burglars want to get into the panic room and loot some bank bonds. The mom handles everything starting from her sick daughter to the sudden appearance of the police through her X husband. In the end, following a bloody climax, all is well.

                                                                        

Hits

  • Jodie Foster in an action packed role is perfect. 
  • Kristen Stewart as the frightened yet bold little girl does well too. 
  • Lots of thrilling scenes like the scene where Kristen Stewart tries to get the attention of the neighbors from the panic room, the gas cylinder leak scene, the scene where Jodie goes to fetch her cell phone from her bedroom and the main phone line tapping scene. 
  • Another treat for the male audience is Jodie Fosters' ample cleavage exposure in her black sleeveless top :) This is one major perk in seeing female stars twisting and bending to perform various action scenes ... 
VERDICT
A nice thriller movie. Jodie Foster does another Clarice Sterling kinda role. Worth watching ...
