Review

I was leery after seeing the first trailer for Panic Room but as I saw it each time I noticed something I liked about it. First the story looked okay but then I realised Forrest Whitaker was in it (usually a great sign!) and then I saw Jared Leto and noticed Dwight Yokams name in the credits and I was ready to see it. Then I realized this was the new David Fincher film and I was HOOKED! I loved Seven Fight Club and I even admired Alien3 simply because of Fincher. The movie is fantastic full of twists turns and jolts. The performance of Jared Leto was awesome. His character was funny and seemed to hold the action together. Jodie Foster is great as usual and Kristen Stewart was very good as the Sarah (although from the trailers it was hard to tell if it was a boy or girl...)and Dwight and Forrest were great as well. This is the best suspense film in a while and Fincher once again proves he is at the top of his profession! "Go see Panic Room!"
