Good film, but not a thriller!

Don't get me wrong this film is great, the narrow shots with unnoticeable CGI and transitions really helped me feel the claustrophobic conditions of the Panic Room. however, in the movie we end up seeing a lot of the antagonist which for me, takes away the most of the suspense. i find that the scariest and most intense movies are ones where we don't see much of the villain and in Panic Room, i think they had the opportunity to do that but they chose to give the antagonists character which made them and their action more predictable which took away the suspense. Despite that there will still plenty of unpredictable twists and turns that kept some of the scenes gripping and intense.
