Wow.Seen it so many times now, that I have lost count of it and STILL it is thrilling to the bone. Written by David Koepp who gave us Jurrasic Park, Mission Impossible and Indiana Jones among others. This man KNOWS how to write a compelling yet simple story.
3 burglars break in assuming nobody is home. Too bad. Jodie Foster just moved in there with her young kid. Will she survive the burglars assault in her "safe" panic room, a room specifically built to survive such an attack? This movie might at first sight seem the usual run of the mill thriller, but David Koepp and David Fincher have an enormous backlog of great award winning succeses at the box office. They have created the biggest popular classics in modern cinema.
David Fincher is the man who directed this thrilling claustrophobic movie. This director also made "Se7en" with Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Spacey. He also made "The Game" and "Zodiac". If you know those movies it suffices to say that David Fincher is THE master of suspense in Hollywood. He has created the most thrilling movies of Hollywood. A cliffhanger every 10 minutes, that puts me on the edge of my seat, even if I already know what's coming. The action and the suspense just will not stop. It is portrayed very realistically, it could have happened the way it did and what is more scarier than being attacked in your own home?
Excellent performance by Jodie Foster, Forrest Whitaker, Jared Leto and the very young Kristen Stewart. There is plenty of action but most of all it is the suspense that is really nerve wrecking. And that suspense is built on Jodie Foster's mother instinct to save her young daughter from any harm. The families survival is at stake here. What a creepy drama. What a great thrill. What a big scary ride!
