Perils of Pauline? Not with Jodie Foster in the Panic Room!

by MumMumMum Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 01 '02
Pros: Jodie Foster, Kristen Stewart, Forest Whitaker
Cons: a few plot flaws...just don't over analyze!
I really wasn’t sure how much I wanted to see Panic Room. I’m not usually too keen on “women in jeopardy” type movies. You know, the “Perils of Pauline” sort of thing where some big brave handsome man comes along and saves the day. My mistake was...

Why Isn't There a Couch in the "Panic Room"?

by millinocket millinocket is a Lead on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Nov 17 '02
Pros: Good performances, camera work
Cons: Predictable storyline
When Panic Room was first released, I knew I wanted to see it. Starring Jodie Foster, whose acting talents I admire, and directed by David Fincher, of Se7en and Fight Club fame, for me this was a must see. I even went out of my way...

Panic Room: "Get out of my house!"

by diverpam Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Mar 31 '02
Pros: Jodie Foster and an interesting plot
Cons: Some of the foreshadowing was a bit heavy-handed. The very end was anti-climatic.
It's every woman's worst nightmare. It's the middle of the night, she's in bed alone, her young daughter is asleep several rooms away, and she knows strangers have broken into her house.

To make matters worse, she had too much wine before...

Panic Room: Ya'll Ready For This?

by flamepillar Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Mar 29 '02
Pros: Great suspense! Jodie Foster does it again. Kristen Stewart may be the next big thing.
Cons: Whatever happened to...
Lordy, still got the jitters! Do you live in a big house? Are you paranoid? If you answered yes to both of those questions, you're in trouble. If you didn't, well then, have a seat.

I haven't seen suspense this good since who knows...

Sometimes the Safest Place To Be Isn't the Panic Room

Pros: Jodie Foster, Forest Whittaker and newcomer Kristen Stewart ...
Cons: Jared Leto was a little over-the-top ...
Panic Room is a taut thriller that, quite honestly, would have made Hitchcock proud. Starting off with opening credits that feature floating, three dimensional text that meld in with the buildings of Manhattan and look like a permanent fixture (a...

David Fincher’s Panic Room 2002

by artbyjude Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 27 '02
Pros: Foster, Whitaker, The House
Cons: should have been Kidman, linear plot, seen it before, visually uninteresting (color)
Let me ask you this. “Have ya had enough? Or are ya thirsty for more?” Sound familiar? The reference is from Home Alone, the anti Christmas movie, and instead of cute 8 year old Macaulay Culkin asking the hypothetical...

A Room Without View

by MrsNormanMaine Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, May 14 '02
Pros: Inventive visuals. Some smart performances.
Cons: Perfunctory, by the numbers story telling. Multiple cliches.
With the casting of Andrea Boccelli as Rhadames in my exciting new production of Aida on Ice, things have really started to move forward. His skating still isn't what I had hoped. At yesterday's rehearsal, he plowed right into a group of...

Fincher's First Failure - Panic Room

by lynus Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Sep 21 '02
Pros: Done well enough to keep one engaged.
Cons: Poor story, poor thrills, DVD not worth the money.
David Fincher has no one but himself to blame when it comes to why Panic Room is quite the dud that it is. Much talk has already surfaced on the small inconsequential facts surrounding the quick replacement of Nicole Kidman with Jodie...

New "Perfect" House might not be so ideal...

by Caprigrl84 , May 02 '02
Pros: Good movie, odd but captivating plot, ok writing, Jared Leto
Cons: Jodie Foster [i'm not a fan], Gruesome Violence, Bad ending
Note: This is my first epinion since October so please bare with me while I try and get back into the "grrove" of things. Hopefully this is the start of a new beginning for me and epinions and that I'll be back for good. I really missed it...

They Should Have Come A Day Early...

by xeno3998 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 02 '02
Pros: pro
Cons: con
There hasn't been a decent thriller in a while, but Panic Room is about to change that (to an extent). Directed by David Fincher, Panic Room is Home Alone and Die Hard (and possibly several others I'm forgetting) coming together in a slightly overdone...

The Gift of "Panic" (Or Lack Thereof...)

by joe5283 , Nov 25 '02
Pros: Performances by Foster, Stewart, Whitaker, Leto; direction by Fincher; cinematography by Khondji and Hall
Cons: Performance by Yoakam; cardboard characterizations in screenplay by Koepp; no worthy special features
"There is nothing to fear but fear itself."

This famous quote, which had lived as a mainstay at the forefront of human philosophy for numerous decades, taught us the lesson that fear was an absolutely self-destructive and, sometimes,...

The Scariest First Night in A New House

by sj1and0 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 21 '07
Pros: Panic Room featured some excellent actors/actresses.
Cons: Too many curses.
In times like this where in the news, more and more home invasions pop up, a panic room seems like the perfect room to have in any room. Sony Pictures released a movie entitled Panic Room which involved a situation of this sort. The ASCAP ...
