Jodie Foster thank god you have come back to the big screen. I've begun getting tired of these Juila Roberts of film. David Fincher is a god behind the camera. With a simple script he's made it into a masterpeice. After I went to the premier I had to read the script and it wasn't all that. The movie itself was just amazing. warning spoilers below*
Meg Altman(Jodie Foster), has just been a newly divorced to her husband Stephen (Patrick Baushau). He left Meg and her 11 year-old daugter Sara (Kristen Stewart) For a supermodel. Instead of buckling down Meg decides to, buy a four story apartment building. Well like I said the plot was simple but only David can make it even better.
During there first night, three thieves, named Burnham (Forest Whitaker), Junior (jared Leto), and Raoul (Yoakam), have decided by pure quincidence to break in on there first night. But due to the title, the house has its panic room(although I've done research and found that many Manhatten apartment buildings actually do have panic rooms) The room filled with surveillance monitors, small bed, and its own phone line. The room is sealed in to protect the home owners until the thieves have vanished.
But like a son of a bitch evrything goes to hell for Meg. Hitcock eat your heart out. The phones don't work, and all Meg and her daughter can do is watch the burglars. But the clever thing fincher has done is trapped us in the panic room, along with Meg and her daughter. Something Hitchcock and very few directors have been able to accomplish. But as things only get better, the worse comes to light the money the buglars want are in the panic room. That just blew me away and the tense got even more tense.
The film who was directed by Fincher, and briliantly done I marveled at Conrad L. Hall's cinematography. While I sat in that theater I felt as though I was with the charecters in a dark night, I mean the cameras movement up the walls and corners were briliant.
David who clearly kept staying this is only a popcorn movie has lied to me. This is not a popcorn movie Dave, it's a work of art. The tense moments, the way he knows how to keep the film calm and throw the unexpected at just the right moments. Jodie Foster with a sledgehammer. I never could imagined it but neither could sir Anthony Hopkins. THis woman would eat Hannnibal Lecter himself if he messed with her daughter.
David I'll tell you again this is not as great as seven or Fight Club But it was worth seeing. Joy ride introduced me to suspense. Dave has introduced me to suspense beyond the chart. Popcorn my ass! I give it a 10/10 my readers in my newspaper comlumn will thank me.
