Details: Product Description Trapped in their New York brownstone's panic room, a hidden chamber built as a sanctuary in the event of break-ins, newly divorced Meg Altman (Jodie Foster) and her daughter, Sarah (Kristen Stewart), play a deadly game of cat-and -mouse with three intruders--Burnham (Forest Whitaker), Raoul (Dwight Yoakam) and Junior (Jared Leto) -- during a brutal home invasion. But the room itself is the focal point because what the intruders really want is inside it. Amazon.ca Consecrated child prodigy of American cinema since Seven and, above all, Fight Club, David Fincher knew his Vault ( Panic Room in the original version), supposed to explore the paranoid neuroses of the American bourgeois, more than expected. Meg, a recently divorced woman, and Sarah, her rebellious teenager, seek a new home in upscale New York City. They decide on a state-of-the-art apartment in terms of security, equipped with a vault. But what to expect when the loot of a trio of burglars is found precisely in this room? With this tense thriller, Fincher signs a visually very original film, in the form of a chase where Forest Whitaker, a bully with a tender heart, will be the cat and Jodie Foster, perfect as a strong, somewhat lost woman, the mouse. Each scene, and this, from the inventive credits, hides a new discovery of this brilliant formalist who is Fincher. A precise and neat staging – especially at the beginning, when the large silent house with white walls is, in itself, a source of anxiety – a good rhythm (heavy only by a last useless scene), as well as dynamic repartees make of this Panic Room a completely believable thriller with particularly gripping suspense. --Helen Faradji
