  An effective exercise in "confined cinema," Panic Room is a finely crafted thriller that ultimately transcends the thinness of its premise. David Koepp’s screenplay is basically Wait Until Dark on steroids, so director David Fincher (Seven, The Game)compensates with elaborate CGI-assisted camera moves, jazzing up hisvisuals while a relocated New York divorcée (Jodie Foster) and herdaughter (Kristen Stewart) fight for their lives against a trio oftenacious burglars (Jared Leto, Forest Whitaker, Dwight Yoakam) intheir new Manhattan townhouse. They’re safe in a customized,impenetrable "panic room," but the burglars want what’s in the room’ssafe, so mother and daughter (and Koepp and Fincher) must find cleverways to turn the tables and persevere. Suspense and intelligence areadmirably maintained, with Foster (who replaced the then-injured NicoleKidman) riffing on her Silence of the Lambs resourcefulness. It’s not as viscerally satisfying as Fincher’s previous thrillers, but Panic Room definitely holds your attention.

Dertiger Meg (Foster) laat haar overspelige man achter en verhuist methaar jonge dochter Sarah (Stewart) naar een kapitaal huis aan de anderekant van Central Park. In het huis bevindt zich een met cameracircuituitgeruste paniekkamer, waarin je kunt vluchten als er wordtingebroken. De eerste nacht is het gelijk raak met maar liefst drieinbrekers. Het eerste dat opvalt in Panic Room is de cinematografie diede kale kamers van het echoënde huis opvoert als een derde ensembleacteurs, naast de inbrekers en de vrouwen. Ongehinderd door spijlen,muren of plafonds belicht de camera een uiterst onderhoudend verhaal.

"You talkin’ to me?" Martin Scorsese’s searing portrait of loneliness and violence on the mean streets of New York remains one of the quintessential films of 1970s American cinema, a brooding blast of modern gothic cinema that boils over in madness and self-destruction. Robert De Niro’s Travis Bickle, the insomniac taxi driver of the title who slips into violence in his nocturnal prowlings, is like a pressure cooker of alienated desperation and rage who channels his frustrations into plotting the assassination of a political figure and then saving a teenage hooker (Jodie Foster) from her pimp (Harvey Keitel). Screenwriter Paul Schrader reportedly poured out the screenplay while suffering from his own identity crisis. Cybill Shepherd, Albert Brooks and Peter Boyle co-star. The new two-disc edition features two new commentary tracks (one from film professor and writer Robert Kolker, the other from Schrader) and a collection of new featurettes, including the 15-minute "Martin Scorsese on Taxi Driver" (talking about his influences and his reflections on the work decades later) and the 21-minute "God’s Lonely Man" (reflections by Schrader and Kolker), along with shorter companion featurettes. Also features the excellent and comprehensive 70-minute documentary "Making Taxi Driver" (produced in 1999), storyboard-to-film comparisons (with an introduction by Scorsese), and an interactive screenplay among the supplements. by Sean Axmaker
