Movie
Synopsis:
In 'Panic
Room' , double Oscar®-winning actress Foster ('The Silence of the
Lambs', 'The Accused') stars as newly divorced Meg Altman, who moves
into a multi-level New York brownstone with her young daughter, Sarah
(film newcomer Kristin Stewart). One of the key selling points is a
small, technologically sophisticated "safe" room the previous
owner installed in case of a dire emergency. Neither Meg nor Sarah know
that they'll need to use the Panic Room sooner than they imagine. During
the first night in the house, a villainous gang of thugs - played by
Jared Leto ('Requiem for a Dream'), Forest Whitaker ('The Crying Game')
and Dwight Yoakam ('Sling Blade') -- breaks into the house, searching
for something they believe the previous owner left behind. Meg and Sarah
endure an unforgettably suspenseful night of terror as they try to fend
off the thieves from inside the confines of the Panic Room .
Worth Seeing? David
Fincher crafts a visually stunning and suspenseful thriller that holds
us to the screen throughout. Almost the entire film takes place in a
house, which the director utilizes well in the story. It could have
delved deeper into some of the characters early on, but it nonetheless
doesn't fail to satisfy. Suspense fans will crave for more. Moviegrade:
