Matka wraz z nastoletnią córką przeprowadzają się do wymarzonego nowego domu, który ma być dla nich oazą spokoju i bezpieczeństwa po właśnie zakończonym rozwodzie. Nie spodziewają się, że wkrótce staną się ofiarami brutalnej domowej inwazji. Niedawno rozwiedziona Meg Altman (Jodie Foster) i jej nastoletnia córka Sarah (Kristen Stewart) wprowadzają się do stylowej nowojorskiej kamienicy. W nowym mieszkaniu znajduje się tajemnicze pomieszczenie, wybudowane w celu przetrwania wizyty nieoczekiwanych “gości”. Matka z córką nie mogą się nawet domyślać, że już wkrótce przyjdzie im z niego skorzystać. Kiedy pod osłoną nocy ich nowy dom staje się miejscem napadu, Meg i Sarah uciekają do schronu. W tej chwili rozpoczyna się niebezpieczna zabawa w kotka i myszkę z trzema brutalnymi napastnikami: Burnhamem (Forest Whitaker), Raoulem (Dwight Yoakam) i Juniorem (Jared Leto). Matka z córką nie znają jednak wszystkich ważnych szczegółów tej rozgrywki: po pierwsze Burnham jest także projektantem i budowniczym podobnym schronów, po drugie, pokój, który ma być ich wybawieniem....jest de facto głównym celem napadu...a przestępcy gotowi są na wszystko, aby dostać się do środka.

David Fincher knows how to dose the tension in his thrillers. It is always based on a great idea and when it starts unfolding, it is clear he really enjoys his work, scene after the scene. When I was watching Panic Room, I was quite surprised why he is currently stuck with movies which quite contradict the things he is best at. However, I enjoyed this movie. I wish they would make more harsh and exciting thrillers like this in Hollywood. But I have a feeling that movies like this one are slowly becoming rare in the States.

A suspenseful and novel plot. There is no Fincher's darkness this time, "only" a very solid thriller, spiced up with a few gimmicks (the camera passing through the ear of the teapot). Jodie Foster is great as always, and it’s nice to see Forest Whitaker again, even in a villain role, but with a good heart. It couldn’t have been any other way with him :)

A lobotomized gem filmed in an exhibitionist spirit, which for me bordered on a kind of adult version of Kevin's polka in Home Alone. Never before has Fincher irritated me so much with emptiness - not even in The Game. There's psychology at play here, but the result is a comedy.

David Fincher's beloved toy for his entertainment, which raises credit in three aspects: the perfect atmosphere of constant unease in the house, from which the camera only emerges sporadically, the ambiguous character played by Forest Whitaker, about whom you cannot guess which side they are on until the last minute, and most importantly, Jodie Foster, who can play with surprising bravado the kinds of hysterical scenes most of her colleagues would break their teeth on. Because of her, those three stars are better, but it needed more twists and script ideas. As it is, the flyovers, details, and slow-motion shots get lost in their own purposelessness several times.

A decent crime thriller that is intriguing in terms of direction. While David Fincher is capable of even better films, here he works his magic with the camera, choosing unusual angles, playing with silhouettes behind doors, utilizing shadows to emphasize the atmosphere of the abandoned house. A weaker aspect is the screenplay, which occasionally stumbles (such as the late arrival of the police considering it's a luxurious prominent neighborhood) and above all, spoils the ending of the film. It could have been more imaginative; a similar ending is already familiar to audiences from many other films. As expected, Jodie Foster and Forest Whitaker dominate the cast. Overall impression: 75%.

Very well made. But still, the screenplay isn’t as high quality as we are used to from Fincher. The cast is fine too: Jodie Foster is great, Kristen Stewart a little squirt, Jared Leto blabber-mouthed and Forest Whitaker likeable. A pleasant watch.

A casual viewer will hardly appreciate David Fincher's brilliant camerawork and the subtle noir atmosphere of the entire film. The script is indeed simple, but the main characters are brilliantly portrayed and the settings of the large villa, bad weather, and Jodie Foster's believable acting contribute a lot. For fans of the genre and Fincher's films, it is truly an exceptional work. For most others, however, it will likely be just an average cat and mouse game with a slightly exaggerated ending.

First of all, I praise the great performance of Jodie Foster, who actually doesn't even need to heartbreakingly cry and wail to express her despair and stress, the look in her terrified eyes is enough. And Fincher's precise and, as always, brilliant direction orchestrates her acting and gives the film a typically dense and uncomfortable atmosphere that gradually builds up until it finally culminates in a powerful and unforgettable finale. I thought Panic Room would be a lot weaker than the best Fincher films, but I was wrong. This guy has done another great job. 90%

The B-movie thriller Fincher originally had planned just didn't work out. He deliberately wanted to take a break from the demanding production of Fight Club with something completely genre-pure that takes place in one location. Instead, it turned out to be a 150-day long shoot and one with mainstream feminist milestones, which happened sort of unexpectedly out of the blue (the originally cast Nicole Kidman was supposed to be a classic Grace Kelly-style damsel in distress, and her teenage daughter actually took on the mothering role during the film; the script had to be rewritten after Jodie Foster was cast, because Foster is typecast as a completely different type of actress). In hindsight, it's the formal purity that is the most enjoyable part. While today's home invasion films try to convey the awkwardness of the protagonists' situation through handheld camerawork and quick editing, Fincher almost never uses handheld shots, doesn't pan and therefore doesn't move his gaze, and instead builds the entire film on the gimmick that the camera can be omnipresent, no one person controls it, and therefore we can expect practically anything from it. It's a bit of a shame that the direction then has to rely on a rather unimaginative script which really pulls the subplot out of its ass at the last minute, violently, and in short when another way for the main characters to save themselves comes after ninety minutes, but somehow goes wrong again, you start to wonder more and more if it even makes sense anymore, and with that parameter you find yourself nowhere you want to be nor where the film wants you to be.

Panic Room falls a little short against the rest of Mr. David Fincher's oeuvre. However, it’s still a gripping story with excellent cinematography, precise direction, well-developed characters, and an outstanding Jodie Foster who really acts like her life depended on it. As a genre flick, this is one of the better, if not the best, but as far as David Fincher is concerned, slightly above average. (Though he makes up for it with The Curious Case of Benjamin Button).
