Critic Reviews

An old-house thriller retrofitted for the 21st century without any touch of unneeded flash, Panic Room is scary enough to do for downtown living what Jaws did for beaches.Full Review

Keith Phipps
The Onion (A.V. Club)

Ingeniously scary.Full Review

Joe Morgenstern
Wall Street Journal

Fincher eschews quick cuts in favor of long, leisurely ones. He knows what he's doing, and the proof is in the result. The suspense in Panic Room never ebbs, and that makes for a thoroughly entertaining -- if somewhat exhausting -- 108 minutes.Full Review

James Berardinelli
ReelViews

Panic Room is Fincher's high-style testament to the cool things movies can do to make us jump out of our seats in the dark.Full Review

Peter Travers
Rolling Stone

Smartly plotted, convincingly acted and brilliantly executed technically, this engrossing thriller adds some clever modern wrinkles to the time-tested formula of sinister intruders threatening innocents in their home.Full Review
