      Storyline

      Did you know

      Edit
      • Trivia
        When it was released in Brazil, it caused controversies because the movie's translated Portuguese title, "Pânico", was already given to the slasher film Scream (1996), also starring Neve Campbell.
      • Quotes

        Alex: You shouldn't have done that with Sammy, dad.

        Michael: What are you talking about?

        Alex: Making him feel bad like that, about spilling the glue.

        Michael: [Dismissively] The kid's a retard.

        Alex: He's very smart.

        Michael: Right.

        Alex: He is!

        Michael: Okay. I'm sorry. I get aggravated. Tell Martha I'm sorry. Is she pissed at me?

        Alex: Yes.

        Michael: Did she make you come talk to me? Are you the messenger boy?

        Alex: No.

        Michael: You pussy-whipped, son? I think you're pussy-whipped. Don't feel bad about it. We're all fuckin' pussy-whipped. Women run the world. Don't let anyone tell you different. Women, not men. Fuck them.

        Michael: [sighs] Sneaky, the way they do it. That's what they're good at: being fucking sneaky. Who decides what you're gonna' eat tonight? Who decides how much booze you should drink? Who decides what movie you're gonna' go see? Follow my drift, Alex? Women are vipers.

      Alas, It Had Potential
      Panic has a great cast. The acting is superb. An illogical and unrealistic plot, however, dooms the film. Maybe, I've been spoiled by the Godfather movies or other well-constructed crime films, but big-time hit men earning the money it takes to live in Macy's neighborhood, as depicted in this film, don't walk, talk and live like college professors. They have heavy mob connections or if international killers, live shadow lives away from common life. Macy is obviously pushing 50, yet we are to believe that after earning his living by contract killing since his youth, he is suddenly overcome by the realization that his chosen "profession" and his father are evil? What planet do you live on people? That's a farce!
