		Then, after all of three minutes or so of exposition (just long enough for Jodie to memorize her handy panic room instruction manual), a trio of bungling but vicious criminals (Dwight Yoakam, Forest Whitaker, and a corn row-enhanced Jared Leto) break in for a little nightcap.
		We learn nothing about human nature, crime, or even panic rooms, and with so little real suspense generated, one has to wonder why this film was even made at all.
		Panic Room is as polished a presentation as you're going to get these days in terms of sheer technical expertise, with excellent sound design that spares no expense in trying to excite the ear.

	Panic Room movie review
		Panic Room is the new thriller from director David Fincher.
		Once inside the panic room has it's own air, water, security monitors, etc, and it is all enclosed in several feet of concrete and steel.
		I mean, for instance, if that were MY panic room, this movie is done in about 5 minutes as I would have some major firepower stashed in there with me and the intruders would get to "say hello to my leetle friend!".

	USCCB Reviews - Panic Room (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Panic Room -- Involving thriller in which a divorced woman (Jodie Foster) and her teen-age daughter (Kristen Stewart) hide out in a secret room of their New York City brownstone trying to outsmart three intruders (including Forest Whitaker) aiming to retrieve a hidden stockpile of cash left by the previous owner.
		Forced to use a room they considered more a bizarre extra than a necessity, Meg and Sarah barricade themselves inside the tiny room, unaware that what the robbers want is inside with them: millions of dollars stashed away within the confines of the panic room's concrete walls.
		From the monitors in the panic room, Meg and Sarah can see the robbers' every move, but none of the three ever thinks to smash the cameras to bits, cutting off her visibility.

		Burnham, a security-firm employee who installed the panic room, is smart enough to want to leave as soon as he discovers there are occupants.
		Meg and Sarah quickly high-tail it into the panic room - which sends the bad guys into a panic of their own, trying to figure out ways to force the females out of their seemingly impregnable fortress.
		But by that time, "Panic Room" has built up enough momentum that many audience members will be able to overlook the lapses in logic - or the fact that the feisty Meg is so much smarter and ingenious than the bad guys (who squabble among themselves incessantly) that the outcome seems preordained.

	Review: Panic Room (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Critics writing reviews of Panic Room will likely delve into the cliché bag and pull out some of these familiar phrases: pulse-pounding, edge-of-the-seat, white-knuckler, thrill-a-minute, etc. However trite those sayings might be, they are appropriate for the latest tautly paced and slickly executed motion picture from populist auteur David Fincher.
		The panic room has its own ventilation system, a telephone line that isn't connected to the house's main one, and a bank of video cameras that show virtually every corner of the brownstone.
		On the night that Meg and Sarah move in, they find themselves locked in the panic room in an attempt to escape a trio of threatening men who break into their house.

		Instinctively locking themselves inside the panic room, Meg and Sarah soon find out that the men's object of interest is inside the panic room, and that they will not leave until they manage to get it.
		That's the whole game: where do you place the window?"* Unfortunately, while setting --specifically the panic room-- is an essential element to the story, the plot relies on "cheap thrills" and obvious tricks in order to shock the unsuspecting viewer, such as a character's hand getting violently crushed by a heavy door.

		Panic Room is the story of Meg Altman (Foster), a recently divorced woman, and her daughter Sarah (Stewart), who decide to purchase a house in Manhattan.
		Panic Room is not as original and complicated as Finch's previous work (Fight Club, Se7en, The Game), but it does achieve one very important goal: it entertains.
		I'll admit that the idea of the panic room itself is somewhat novel in movies (in medieval times, there was the castle keep), but that's about as far as it goes.
