Panic Room (2002)

Why did Foster make this picture?
28 February 2004
Jodie must have been hard up for some ready cash when she signed the dotted line for this run of the mill production. I enjoyed the thing so I suppose I shouldn't gripe but I have come to expect more lofty attempts at quality from this actressis that word out of vogue today?]. There were gobs of stressful nail biting, truckloads of violence, eyesful of sights and earsful of sounds portraying what a evil, anything for the almighty buck world we live in. Yes, it had all this but the film still lacked an ingredient that I always look for in any movie and that is newness. I didn't find it here even as I sat tensely relaxed watching Foster fight to save her ill daughter and herself from the smart, the bad, and the whiney.
