Alfie (2004); Panic Room

Alfie:

All buildup, no resolution. Jude Law's smile can carry a photograph, but not an entire film.

Panic Room:

A solid thriller. Jody Foster & Forrest Whitaker are always a pleasure to watch, and Howard Shore's score does a fine job of amping up the tension. I'd read a lot about Fincher's direction, but I found it more novel than distracting.
