Review of Panic Room

Panic Room (2002)
7/10
Hard to ignore the plot holes, but still a slick and decent movie
13 June 2007
I liked it. I really did. Not only because I am a big fan of Fincher's work (with the exception of Alien 3), and I thought that he really did a good job with this one. Even though the plot is not always as cohesive as it should be, there is brilliant camera work, visual tricks that are A-class Fincher, good acting, solid suspense, an interesting premise and decent dialog.

It was hard for me to dislike those things. Were many people get irritated by some of the plot holes (which is some sort of thing Fincher makes mistakes in more often, i have to admit, if you look at The Game for example), I could hardly notice them because of all the excitement and tension the movie was building up to.

Hard to dislike it's slick style. Period. I give this movie my fullest recommendation for everyone who wants a simple thriller with excellent camera-work, acting and directing. I give it a 7/10
