Panic Room
2002
**½
Director: David Fincher
Cast: Jodie Foster, Forest Whitaker, Dwight Yokam, Kristen Stewart
David Fincher undoubtedly has an impressive command of the technical side of filmmaking. The camera swoops through walls, floors and kitchen utensils, but that won't keep you on the edge of your seat for two hours. The story about a single mother and her daughter who are trapped inside their new house has nowhere to go from its clichéd settings, except to a foregone conclusion.
