This film is pretty swell. The music and colors the team chose to use set a really great tone throughout. Leto's portrayal of his character to me is a little questionable but not terrible. Every other actor in this film are really really great in their roles. Most importantly for this quick review is to bring attention to the special features. I won't get into detail about them because they are so numerous that I have yet to get through them all. If you love film to the point that you are interested in how things get made. If you are like myself and listen to every commentary track to get trivia bits and to hear about how a scene was lit and why....Then This special three disc edition is so perfect for you. Fincher is one of my favorite directors and he is by far easily, aside from Scorcese, a person who understands the value of revealing how damn near everything was done. For the usual price of this edition, and being that the other version floating around has no features i think. this is a great buy. enjoyRead full review
Panic Room is an interesting concept that I really thought would make me mentally claustrophobic - Meg Altman (Jodie Foster) and daughter Sarah Altman (Kristen Stewart) must escape from a couple of armed robbers by hiding in their home's Panic Room... of course its more complex but I hate spoiling the details. Anyhow, the simple concept - it all takes place during a matter of hours - sounds pretty bland... but it works out terrificly and has plenty of thrills and action scenes. Most importantly - the cast is fantastic and really make the film work. Jodie Foster as usual is great. Forest Whitaker and Jared Leto are also outstanding... Kristen Stewart isn't so great - but she's the young daughter so I guess its expected. Anyhow, I definitely recommend the movie - make some popcorn and turn off the lights. Its a good one. Panic Room Cast - Rated 5/5 Jodie Foster .... Meg Altman Kristen Stewart .... Sarah Altman Forest Whitaker .... Burnham Dwight Yoakam .... Raoul Jared Leto .... Junior Patrick Bauchau ....

The movie begins with a newly divorced mother scouting around New York City looking for a new home with her daughter. The home she decides to purchase has an unusual feature, a "panic room" which is a inpenetrable room which is equipped with surveillance video monitors, a phone line separated from the direct phone line, and many more features that helps the residents of the home hide in case of an emergency. Their first night in the house 3 men break in and they have to use the panic room much earlier than they thought. What they soon find out is that the 3 men know more about the panic room than they do. Which complicates things even more for them. This movie is excellent. Definitely one of my favorites. The cast is also amazing, they include: Jodie Foster, Jared Leto, Dwight Yoakam, and Kristen Stewart.Read full review
