Featured Reviews

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Fincher eschews quick cuts in favor of long, leisurely ones. He knows what he's doing, and the proof is in the result. The suspense in Panic Room never ebbs, and that makes for a thoroughly entertaining -- if somewhat exhausting -- 108 minutes. ...read the complete Panic Room movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

Panic Room is the ultimate example of Hollywood's obsession with the high concept: A divorced woman and her daughter move into a new house with a panic room, a secret room designed to keep out intruders. ...read the complete Panic Room movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

It’s Home Alone for grown-ups. And just like kids ate up Macaulay Culkin and his homebound adventure, Panic Room is a real (yet creepy) crowd-pleaser for adults. ...read the complete Panic Room movie review at filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)

Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

Panic Room is Fincher's high-style testament to the cool things movies can do to make us jump out of our seats in the dark. ...read the complete Panic Room movie review at Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

Nick's Flick Picks (Nick Davis)

It is despicable to see a renegade artist like Fincher consume himself within such a tired, deceptively conventional product; it is sad to see the filmmaker who made, in Se7en, a provocative commentary on sadism degenerate in Panic...read the complete Panic Room (2002) review at Nick's Flick Picks (Nick Davis)
