Consacré enfant prodige du cinéma américain depuis Seven et, surtout, Fight Club, David Fincher savait sa Chambre forte (Panic Room en version originale), censée explorer les névroses paranoïaques des bourgeois américains, plus qu'attendue. Meg, une femme récemment divorcée, et Sarah, son adolescente rebelle, cherchent une nouvelle demeure dans les quartiers huppés de New York. Elles arrêtent leur choix sur un appartement dernier cri en matière de sécurité, muni d'une chambre forte. Mais à quoi faut-il s'attendre quand le butin d'un trio de cambrioleurs se trouve précisément dans cette chambre? Avec ce thriller tendu, Fincher signe un film visuellement très original, en forme de poursuite ou Forest Whitaker, en brute au cœur tendre, sera le chat et Jodie Foster, parfaite en femme forte un peu perdue, la souris. Chaque scène, et ce, dès l'inventif générique, cache une nouvelle trouvaille de ce formaliste génial qu'est Fincher. Une mise en scène précise et soignée – notamment au début, lorsque la grande maison silencieuse aux murs blancs est, à elle seule, source d'angoisse – un bon rythme (alourdi uniquement par une dernière scène inutile), ainsi que des réparties dynamiques font de cette Panic Room un thriller tout à fait crédible au suspense particulièrement prenant. --Helen Faradji

 Spoiler Warning! January 31, 2006

The concept was interesting and yet as soon as mother and daughter are locked in the Panic Room I was wondering how we were going to stretch this movie out.
The camera gets ridiculous with it's zooming in and slow motion.
The story line is silly frankly. I couldn't help but wonder why Jodie Foster's character did not step outside the door of the Panic room and phone 911 while her child watched the screens to ensure all three men stayed downstairs.
Plus Propane is heavier than air so the whole scene where the propane at ceiling level bursts into flames may have been a good special effect but it was grossly inaccurate.
I was very disappointed with the movie. The only reason it deserves 1 star instead of none was because I did laugh a few times (although I think those scenes were supposed to be tense).
Excelent Thriller July 17, 2004
Drama at it's finest. You'll be close to a heart attack by the end of the movie. A very smart drama. It's very well written. A somewhat original idea for a movie.
 Lame.... June 21, 2004

Man, this was dissapointing. My feelings can't be described using words. This is definitely one of the most dissapointing movies I've ever seen(and I've seen a lot of crap). Jodie Foster shouldn't waste her talent on such a movie like "Panic Room".
Much better than I thought it would be... June 15, 2004

*PANIC ROOM (superbit-single disc)*
I thought Panic Room was going to be boring and not worth the time. On the contrary, it was quite entertaining. I couldn't imagine how they would fill an hour and a half of being stuck in a panic room shelter hiding from the bad guys. Turns out the movie is about 20 minutes longer than that. There are a few twists and turns that keep it very interesting. The hook is a clever story line of a criminal and his struggle to do right when he's doing wrong. Also, the strength of a parent when their childs life is in danger. It leaves you with a good feeling and I can appreciate that.
I absolutely loved the camera work. Some of the neatest camera pans you'll ever see in a movie are in Panic Room. A little too much cursing but, it's almost expected with thud criminals to speak at that level, it's understandable but there's a lot of it.
Very well done. Better than I expected.
Good thriller May 31, 2004
A divorced woman (Jodie Foster) and her daughter (Kristen Stewart) lock themselves into the steel-reinforced "panic room" of their spacious New York brownstone to escape a trio of home invaders (Forest Whitaker, Jared Leto, and Dwight Yoakum). This sets the stage for a stalemate that neither side can afford. The object of the intruders' search is hidden within the panic room itself, and daughter has a medical condition which makes escape imperative. This film is a fine cat-and-mouse thriller that doesn't cheat or insult the intelligence of the viewer. Recommended.
