Review of Panic Room

Panic Room (2002)
7/10
Good Solid Movie
29 March 2002
Pretty simple. Meg and her daughter Sarah move into a beautiful old house in Manhattan, right after Meg and her husband get divorced. She notices that one of the rooms are smaller than it should be, and the realtor explains this "Panic Room". A room that is a "safe-haven" for anything that could go wrong. You then have the 3 burglars that break in and try to get something from the house. They are furious because they hadn't planned on Meg moving in yet, just a slight obstacle for them. The movies keeps you on the edge of your seat for most of the time, and has you jumping in some cases. The camera work of David Fincher is absolutely amazing. Anywhere he wanted the camera to go, it went; keyholes, through walls, through floors, anywhere. The only reason I gave the movie a 7 out of 10 is because I found it pretty predictable. Although, still good, I was able to determine what was going to happen long before it actually did. In general, a good movie.
