Panic Room (2002)

I loved the little touches, like Jodie Foster feeling around the toilet tank in the middle of the night for the flusher - it's a new house and she doesn't know it by rote yet - and Jared Leto, a poor little rich white kid sporting his wanna-be-cool cornrows.

The mom and the girl were smart, but not unbelievably so and every time I thought "why don't they just..." they went ahead and did what I thought they should, where most scripts leave you screaming at the victims' stupidity. I also love that they didn't tell us what happened to Forest Whitaker's character at the end, we're allowed to fill in that blank.

This is a quality film, starting at the very beginning with those gorgeous titles...quite possibly the most arresting credits I've seen.

B+
