We are making steady progress in reviewing all of David Fincher's films, as our review of Panic Room this week now marks the point of 75% completion. Off the back of Fight Club, a film with over a hundred locations, Fincher wanted to scale back production and make a smaller tension piece immersing the audience in a single home invasion. Production wasn't without its challenges however, as the movie took longer to shoot than anticipated, and lead Nicole Kidman had to pull out of the cast due to injury. Thankfully, Jodie Foster steps in alongside a young Kristen Stewart. The mother and daughter duo must outwit intruders (played very capably by Jared Leto and Forest Whitaker) while trapped inside their home's panic room. In the end the film doesn't quite reach our absolute favourite of Fincher's features. But we do need to highlight the precise camera movements that intensify this film's claustrophobic atmosphere, among many other cool moments throughout. Plus, it's finally time to talk about that RDJ MCU bombshell a week late. And we spontaneously review The Bear: Season 3.
