Back To Index Panic Room
 Barnes & Noble Theres not much breathing space in Panic Room, a wall-to-wall experiment in anxiety directed by supreme visual stylist David Fincher (Fight Club). The script, by David Koepp (Spider-Man), finds a wealthy divorcée (Jodie Foster) and her daughter (Kristen Stewart) besieged by a trio of burglars in their new home, an ultra-plush Manhattan townhouse. Fortunately, the house is equipped with a "panic room," a hermetically sealed space in which mother and daughter take refuge, and much of the film concerns the criminals attempts to gain access to this sanctuary, causing undue panic and claustrophobia for our heroines. Fincher milks the plots stripped-down simplicity, as a roving camera explores interior spaces millimeter by millimeter, tracking through walls, floors, air ducts, and even keyholes. Ultimately, the film develops into a magnificent battle of wit and will between the prim Foster and the bickering and increasingly violent felons (Jared Leto, Dwight Yoakam, and Forest Whitaker). Whitaker ultimately anchors the film, evoking a compassionate strength around which the escalating suspense revolves. The result is a virtuoso piece, telling a story that takes place in a single location on a single night, inventively exploring the possibilities of the scenario without losing its simple inexorability.
