Divorcee Meg Altman and her daughter Sarah find a dream town house
on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Included in this wonderful home is
a so-called "safe room" known as the Panic Room, a supposed steel
enclosed Fortress within the house that will protect its inhabitants
in the event that it is invaded by criminal intruders.

Guess what? The first night that mother and daughter move into the
house, it IS indeed invaded by 3 evil types in search of a money
treasure buried, unknown to the Altman mother and daughter, guess where?
Right under the floor of the Panic Room.

As the intruders head up the stairs, Mrs Altman spots them on the house
monitors, quickly sprints out of bed, gathers up Sarah, and they both
head to the Panic Room, the heavy steel door sliding shut in the faces
of the would be robbers. What follows is an incredible 101 minutes of
sheer nerve racking excitement as the robbers attempt to break into the
Panic Room, almost completely destroying the rest of the house in their
determination to penetrate the Room.

Mother and daughter discover that since they did not bother to hook up
the Panic Room's telephone, and therefore cannot call the police, they
must rely on their wits to get out of the Room and get help.

The suspense builds higher and higher to a final crescendo that will have
you on the edge of your seat. This is truly one of the really great films
of the genre to come along since the great days of Hitchcock.

Jody Foster looks beautiful and sexy as usual.
Kristen Stewart gives a remarkably good performance as Sarah Altman.
Forest Whitaker wonderfully plays one of the baddies. I ALWAYS love
watching him act.

This is a must see for all devotees of suspensefull action films.
