Recently divorced Meg Altman and her daughter Sarah have bought a new home in New York. On their tour around the mansion, they come across the panic room. A room so secure, that no one can get in. When three burglars break in, Meg makes a move to the panic room. But all her troubles don't stop there. The criminals know where she is, and what they require the most in the house is in that very room.

    I enjoyed it. I liked the mix of humour and grittiness. David Fincher never misses. Great movie
  • ndarby61February 6, 2026
    A movie that holds up well considering its 23 yrs old!

    "That's seven years bad luck!" Haven't watched this since it came out, hardly remembered anything from back then. Glad I decided to do a rewatch. Recommended!

    The way Fincher maximizes every bit of this one location is nothing short of incredible. I also love how he manages to keep me on the edge of my seat the entirety of this thing. Love Forest Whitaker — he’s the heart and soul here.

    Again super cool Jodie foster plays petite mum coping with teenage daughter in this taut thriller with the whole movie set within a house,worried about security she moves into a home with a you guessed it a panic room,and for the sake of a good movie she ends up having to use it,like her other movie Flight plan, Jodies chracter has to up her game and toughen up to survive three burgulars who try to overcome her. This is a tense tight movie that amazes in Jodies chracter tight escapes and stamina at staying one step ahead of the three invaders found the film quite comic in places,almost a grown up take on the home alone theme,with the three invaders being thwarted at every turn, but there are also some violent scenes,which reminds you of the reality of the situation,tense tight script ,great acting with Jodie Foster,Forest Whittaker,Jared leto,Dwight Yokam plus great camera angles ensure a great thriller.

    Typical Jodi Foster suspense. Not bad but not brilliant. Great acting by Whitaker, as usual. A very young Kristen Stewart makes her debut.

    A really good movie with a solid, realistic plot and lots of suspense, and the ending is truly beautiful.
