description |
| As
David
Fincher's
PANIC
ROOM
begins,
recently
divorced
Meg
Altman
(Jodie
Foster)
halfheartedly
tours
an
old
New
York
City
townhouse
with
her
restless
young
daughter
Sarah
(Kristen
Stewart).
Using
money
from
her
divorce
settlement,
the
unhappy
mother
decides
to
buy
the
spacious
home.
The
former
abode
of
a
wealthy
eccentric,
this
townhouse
contains
an
unusual
extra
feature,
a
supposedly
impenetrable
"panic
room"
equipped
with
surveillance
monitors,
a
separate
phone
line,
and
other
survival
aids,
where
residents
can
hide
in
case
of
emergency.
When
three
men--Burnham
(Forest
Whitaker),
Junior
(Jared
Leto),
and
Raoul
(Dwight
Yoakam)--break
into
their
new
home,
Meg
and
Sarah
end
up
using
the
panic
room
much
sooner
than
they
could
have
possibly
imagined.
And,
unfortunately
for
them,
these
intruders
are
not
simple
burglars;
they
possess
knowledge
that
makes
the
situation
much
more
perilous.
Hitchcockian
in
its
confined
setting
and
carefully
doled-out
suspense,
Fincher's
PANIC
ROOM
is
more
straightforward
than
his
infamous
FIGHT
CLUB,
though
no
less
engaging.
Foster
(who
replaced
Nicole
Kidman
after
she
injured
herself
on
the
set
of
MOULIN
ROUGE)
gives
her
best
performance
since
THE
SILENCE
OF
THE
LAMBS.
The
thieves
are
equally
compelling--Whitaker
shines
as
a
likeable,
sad-eyed
security
expert;
Leto
provides
comic
relief
as
a
talkative
brat;
and
Yoakam
is
perfectly
loathsome
as
an
armed-to-the-teeth
psycho.
Although
the
film
features
some
of
Fincher's
trademark
hi-tech
effects,
its
true
bells
and
whistles
are
the
excellent
cast,
the
stunning
photography,
the
moody
score,
and
the
simple
yet
thrilling
story. |
