Summary

Monitor your blood sugar and watch the motion sensor lasers because we're diving into David Fincher's Panic Room (2002), along with Queerty's Cameron Scheetz. We think this David Fincher "popcorn" flick doesn't get enough respect, particularly for queer leads Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart. Plus: a scary Dwight Yoakam, Leto's cornrows, slow motion set pieces, and the film's troubled production history which includes...Nicole Kidman?! Questions? Comments? Snark?

But I feel like you and many other people, like the number of folks that I saw in review saying, well, this is a bit mid-David-Fenture.
