Panic Room
Meg Altman (Jodie Foster) and her daughter Sarah (Kristen Stewart) play a deadly game of cat and mouse with three intruders - Burnahm (Forest Whitaker), Raoul (Dwight Yoakam) and Junior (Jared Leto) - during a brutal home invasion. But the Panic Room into which they escape is the very place that holds what the intruders are desperately seeking.

Panic Room - djfunkybob
This film is pure heart-pounding suspense about a single mother’s worst nightmare on her first post-divorce night in the new family home. At times, the story felt contrived with aspects conveniently placed to add to the drama; however, unique direction and multi-dimensional characters add to the film’s appeal. Fincher comes through again (literally, from the opening credits) with an original vision and creative use of angles and unexpected vantage points. Foster plays the scorned divorcee with understood frailty and underestimated anger and determination. Whitaker is outstanding as a burglar torn between cash and his better judgement. For his supporting role, Yoakam is chilling as the unconscionable Raoul.A Solid Thriller from David Fincher - Josh_J
One of today's true masters of visual style, David Fincher brings another effective suspense-thriller to the screen. The plot itself is fairly simple, but the thrills and the camerawork are, as we've come to expect from Fincher, highly innovative. At times the visual tricks can feel a little redundant, but this film is a visual feast regardless.I was nervous... - Need4Speed
This has a lot of thrill, and lots of suspense, but the story is very simple. I was frightened when I stayed alone, so don't watch this movie if you live in the forest, or even suburbs alone. Actors are very good, and you'll surely be either touched, shocked, or both. Good ending, poor guy...
