Movie Review: Panic Room
by Jeremy "Ethan" Smith |
| A new movie, “Panic
Room,” hit theatres recently. The movie takes on part of the
same plot as past movies in its same genre. In past movies, somone
has been trying to break into a house but does not know certain things
about the situation, which is the thing that become their downfall. In “Panic Room” a mother and daughter move into a huge house in the city. This house turns out to be unlike any other house in the city or in the state for that matter. This house contains a “panic room.” Such a room can be compared to a castle keep of medival ages — a place where the occupants of the household may escape to if danger is emminent. This particular panic room is complete with concrete steel-reinforced walls, steel door with bolt locking action, closed-circuit television connected to house-wide surveilance cameras, and internal phone line that can’t be cut from the outside. “Panic Room” like I have said, takes on many characteristics of past movies where someone wants what someone else has and will do everything they can to get it. In past movies of this type the “burglars” didn’t know about certain aspects of a house or location and those aspects later turned out to be their downfall. “Panic Room” is different in this characteristic in that the bad gurs n this movie know more or less everything there is to know about the house and especially the panic room because one of the burglars was the main builder of the panic room. The plot turns very interesting when the mother and daughter lock themselves in the panic room after they realize the burglars are in the house only to find out later that what they burglars want is in the panic room. If this sounds like a simple problem with a simple solution, such as the mother calling the police on the phone in the panic room, its not. The phone in the room was never turned on. |
