It might not be Fight Club, and it''s definitely not The Game, but when it comes to David Fincher, Panic Room will never
be considered a failure. Starring Jodie Foster and Forest Whitaker, Panic Room unleashes a suspenseful thriller from beginning to end.
Everyone has fears of intruders in their homes, and probably more so for people living in the city. Director David Fincher takes a look at one such incident, where a divorced mother and her daughter become trapped in a so-called panic room, a steel chamber with a security system, when burglars invade their house. Unfortunately for them, the burglars want something that is inside the panic room.
Panic Room tells two different stories, that of the women trying to survive, and that of the burglars attempting to get a lot of money, and dealing with conflicts within their group. Unfortunately, the conflict between the robbers seems to take up an overabundant amount of time, and at the same time is the most clichéd and uninteresting aspect of the film. It isn''t necessarily poorly done, but obviously, if more of the movie focused around the survival and escape attempts of the women, things would have been a lot more exciting.
