Panic Room (2002)

I had difficulty understanding why a single parent would need such a big house. It soon became clear: it was to enable David Fincher to swish and swoop his camera in some spectacular ways. The movement is the real star of the film, but I'm also a fan of Jodie Foster and Forest Whitaker, so those three together kept me entertained despite the relatively thin plot about a domestic burglary being stretched to breaking point.
