Did any of you like Panic room when you saw it? It felt unsatisfying for me in some way but I can´t figure out why.

Re: Panic room
I actually had high expectations for the movie because of the concept and the concept is probably the reason that people had low expectations but I wanted to know how the writer would make a movie with people trapped in a small room satisfying. It didn´t work for me though.
I don´t know if the purpose was to make me cheer for Burnham. The antagonist should be a strong opposition to the protagonist but I just wanted Jodie to let Brunham & co in so they could get what they wanted and then get out without anyone getting hurt. Just like if someone robbed me on the street. I would give them the stuff and cooperate. Burnham was a nice guy and it felt that the movie was about him after about half way into the movie.
What are your thoughts on the story? I´ve only heard it beeing praised by people who like the directing and couldn´t care less about the story.- Tomas

Re: Panic room
I bought it and have seen it several times. The film had a few problems but t he one thing I can't forgive is the the bad guy saving the hero in the end. This whole movie I have been rooting for the woman and int he end she just lies there and screams until she is saved. Ugh. What a major let down and it totally works against her arc.Fortune favors the bold - Virgil

Re: Panic room
If the bad guys hadn't been such total morons, and done so many stupid things, in order to just more the story forward, then it would've been better. I dug the premise, like that movie with James Brolin where he's stuck in the dept. store, and the place is infested with patrolling guard dogs.

Re: Panic room
I hated the ending. I kept wanting Forrest Whittaker to get away with it. Overall, I liked the show, but felt it odd I was rooting for the antagonist. Agree that Koepp made him too sympathetic.
Jodie Foster's character just struck me as an ingrate. For saving her family's life, I would have like to have seen her lie to the cops on his behalf and split the money with him.
I like the way david koepp starts the script....
This is fast...
This is furious...
Made me feel as a reader I was being strapped into a rollercoaster with a master writer as my tour guide. I didn't even know who he was when I read the script the first time.

Re: Panic room
I loved the ending! The pain. The irony. The arbitrary persecution.
Although, Fincher sometimes screams "Look what I got the camera to do this time!" with his photogrammetry.
Notice the reference to Edgar Allan Poe, but the lady thinks that Meg is speaking about some singer. "I love her latest album."
