Panic Room
Director-Dave Fincher
Starring-Jodie Foster, Jared Leto and Forrest Whittaker
I saw Panic Room yesterday at 1:30pm in screen six at my local cinema. The movie was very tense and had flawless acting from all the lead actors. The camerawork was really good; inside the Panic Room it was clautsrophobic and cramped, outside it roamed free everywhere like a ghost eye's view of the house. The tension was unbearable at some points but it wasn't a scary movie. The one complaint I have is that it was marketed as a scary movie which isn't true; despite it's many nail biting parts. I think this was a great entertainment movie, but it wasn't a classic movie like American Beauty or Goodfellas. It was a great escapist movie and I recommend it to Fincher fans, and anyone who likes a thriller/suspense movie.
