Die frisch geschiedene Meg Altman (Jodie Foster) bezieht mit ihrer 11-jährigen Tochter Sarah (Kristen Stewart) ein herrschaftliches Haus im Herzen von Manhattan. Das große Haus weißt eine Besonderheit auf: ein sogenannter Panic Room, ausgestattet mit dicken Stahlwänden, einer Überwachungsanlage und eigener Belüftung, der den Bewohner im Falle eines Notfalls Schutz gewährt. Schon in der ersten Nacht müssen Mutter und Tochter Zuflucht in dem geheimen Raum suchen als auf einmal drei brutale Einbrecher (Forest Whitaker, Dwight Yoakam und Jared Leto) auf der Matte stehen. Dumm nur, dass es die Einbrecher ausgerechnet auf diesen Panic Room abgesehen haben und nichts unversucht lassen, Meg und Sarah aus ihrem Versteck zu locken. (TV25)

Ein lobotomiertes Kleinod, gedreht in einem exhibitionistischen Geist, der für mich an eine Art erwachsene Version von Kevins Polka in Kevin - Allein zu Haus grenzte. Noch nie hat mich Fincher so sehr mit Leere irritiert - nicht einmal in der harten Geschichte The Game. Hier ist Psychologie im Spiel, aber das Ergebnis ist eine Komödie.

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 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 :)

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 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%.
