When middle aged New Yorker Meg Altman (Jodie Foster) gets a divorce from his filthy rich husband she makes sure that she and her daughter (Kristen Stewart) gets the biggest possible
share of her husband's fortune and this includes a multistory, unfairly spacious house in the middle of the city. The house, previously owned by another multi millionaire has a very special feature. It has a state-of-the-art safe room called the panic room which is impossible to break into and is a perfect shelter in case of a break in.
And when there is a break in on the very first night of their stay in their new home Meg Altman and her tomboy daughter finds themselves holed up in the panic room which three burglars in the house. As Meg had not had time to take up security seriously, the burglers should have had an easy time but the only problem is they are looking for over $20 million stashed away in the panic room by its previous owner. One of the burglars is Burnham (Forrest Whitaker), the man who actually built the panic room and he knows the only way they can get in is by tricking Meg into opening the door from the inside. Meg also has a serious problem, her daughter is diabetic and her blood sugar level is falling at an alarming rate.
Review of Panic Room
Despite sterling performances from Jodie Foster and Forrest Whitaker to be completely honest I found Panic Room to be little more than a tepid and rather tame thriller. Although the movie had all the ingredients for a real chill-a-minute ride, for once David Fincher has missed the plot completely and ended up with a run of the mill thriller with more goofs and loose ends than I would like to count.
