Foster’s ‘Room’ provides
comedy alongside ‘Panic’
■ Interesting cinematography
and the usual push-it-to-the
limit Hollywood plot combine to
make an entertaining film
‘Panic Room*
Jodie Foster
By Jen West
Oregon Daily Emerald
In the Middle Ages they were
called “castle keeps.” During the
Cold War, they were called “bomb
shelters.” Today, safe rooms go by
many names, but their purpose
has remained the same: to protect
the owners and their valuables
from deadly intruders.
In the suspense film “Panic
Room,” the title room is supposed
to be a safe place but becomes a
prison for newly divorced Meg Alt
man (played by Jodie Foster) and
her pre-teen daughter Sarah
(played by Kristen Stewart). It is a
room completely isolated from the
rest of the house by four concrete
walls, a bulletproof steel door, a
buried phone line and a separate
ventilation system.
When three intruders break into
the house looking for the former
proprietor’s hidden safe, Meg and
Sarah dive into the panic room for
safety, but what the men want is in
that room. Meg and Sarah want
them out of the house; the men
want the women out of that room.
Although the movie is promoted
as a heart-stopping suspense film,
Jared Leto, the leader decked out in
ridiculous braids, manages to bun
gle all their plans, providing the
audience with a sort of moronic
comic relief. These three stooges

have but one brain among them,
and it belongs to the honorable
thief (played by Forest Whitaker)
who wants the money to battle for
custody of his kids.
To add to the desperation of the
situation, Meg has to overcome her
claustrophobia and find insulin
for Sarah, who has gone into shock
from low blood sugar levels and
stress. Meg manages to contact her
ex-husband, but he proves to be as
useful as we assume he was in
their failed marriage, providing no
help but acting as a convenient
hostage for the thieves. The situa
tion seems a bit over the top, but
then that’s Hollywood.
The film also contains interesting
cinematography. The camera often
winds though the house, through
coffeepot handles and along phone
lines, giving the audience a sense of
fluidity from one room to the next.
Changing camera angles add to the
surreal atmosphere of the situation.
Although leaning on the edge of
ridiculous, the balance of comedy
and suspense will appeal to a wide
variety of audiences.
