This movie was a really pleasant surprise for me. Though I am a real fan of the other fincher movies (especially "se7en" and "the game"), I didn't really now what to expect from this one.
The story didn't sound very original, but like stuff that could make a great movie in the hands of the right director.
Well, Fincher was the right director. With this movie about a young divorced woman and her daughter being trapped in a security room of their house while criminals trying to lure them out in my opinion is his very best work so far.
Despite some little plot holes that are very easily forgiven, "Panic Room" not only is a great flick, but a wonderful pice of art. I think so because even though the whole movie takes place in one big house, director David Fincher and cinematographers Conrad W. Hall and Darius Khondji manage to create some truly unique shots you haven't seen in any other movies so far.
I don't want to go too much into detail, but if you are even a little interested in the art of film making, you have to see this movie.
Of course I also highly recommend it for fans of Fincher and/or Jodie Foster.
I talked to some guys who didn't really understand what I meant when I told them how great the (digitally enhanced) camera movements were, but that was only because they weren't really movie fans who would recognize these kinds of details.
My conclusion: you might argue that the plot is not very original, but the cinematography alone justifies to see this movie at least once.
I give it 9 out of 10 points.
