"Panic room" is not one of Jodie Foster's better effort. There are too many writer incongruities to make the whole movie plausible. **SPOILER** the biggest fault comes when the robbers held the daughter as hostage, they held all the cards, they could have demanded Foster to surrender her weapon and come to them. They did not or fumbled the idea. Also, it was silly for Foster to give her only weapon to her half-dead former husband while she prowled around in her slender frame with a big, heavy sledge hammer against 2 robbers. Lastly, the biggest fau paux came in form of the prize the robbers came for. Hoping to find cash, they found 22 bonds of a million $ each. Treasury bonds are held electronically. There are statements but no certificates. With saving bonds you have the option of receiving certificates, but they are payable to the registered owner only. There are no such thing as 22 pieces of paper (bonds) of a million $ each that would exchange for real money that one walked away with. The writers obviously did not research their plot well.
