Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk? 21:55, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
- Sounds good, give me a Ping when you’ve put up some things to address. Rusted AutoParts 23:07, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
Basic stuff and comments
[edit]- Archive all archivable sources.
Infobox
[edit]- The box office reference should link to the film's title summary, not its domestic release.
- Film's budget and running time need references.
- The "produced by" list should go Gavin Polone, Judy Hofflund, David Koepp, and then Ceán Chaffin per the film's billing block.
Lead
[edit]- The sentence "Koepp's screenplay was inspired by news coverage in 2000 about panic rooms" should probably go in the first paragraph of the lead, and should also be merged with the sentence before it to something like "The script was written by David Koepp, whose screenplay was inspired by news coverage in 2000 about panic rooms."
- This section says the film made $196.4 million. However, the film actually made $197.1 million.
- With the above edit in mind, change "$100 million" to "$100.7 million".
- The Saturn Award nomination seems like a good thing to add to the final paragraph.
- "Foster would receive a nomination for the Saturn Award for Best Actress." → "Foster would later receive a Saturn Award nomination for Best Actress."
Plot
[edit]- In the last sentence, the single use of the word "later" doesn't quite fit in, so I would change it to "A few days later".
- Additionally, I suggest merging the last sentence with the second-to-last paragraph.
- "Later, Stephen has survived, while Meg and Sarah, recovered from their harrowing ordeal, search the newspaper for a new home." → "A few days later, Stephen, Meg, and Sarah search the newspaper for a new home, having recovered from their harrowing ordeal."
Cast
[edit]- Link the word "dailies".
Production
[edit]Development
[edit]- No problems here.
Pre-production
[edit]- "make actual production difficult for him" → "make actual production difficult for him and his crew".
Filming
[edit]- "Conrad Hall, Jr." → Conrad W. Hall
- Link Darius Khondji and Conrad W. Hall per consistency.
- The reference after "the end of January 2001" should be fixed/correctly formatted (title, publisher, etc.).
- Additionally, move that same reference to the end of the sentence it's in.
- Done Chompy Ace 14:06, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
- The reference wasn't moved.
- Done Chompy Ace 14:06, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
- "She also returned two months later for additional filming.[1] Filming was completed in November 2001.[1]" → "She also returned two months later for additional filming,[1] which concluded that November.[1]"
Visual and practical effects
[edit]- This section seems kinda short, so I recommend combining both paragraphs into a single one.
Analysis
[edit]Conspiracy thrillers and feminism
[edit]- "divided by gender. She describes the male protagonist" → "divided by gender, describing the male protagonist"
Medicine and technology as themes
[edit]- No issues here.
Approach to mortality
[edit]- Looks good.
Release
[edit]- Link Seven and Fight Club.
- The reference after "Los Angeles, California" should be properly formatted. Additionally, the current link is dead.
Done removed because this archive is redirected or dead Chompy Ace 14:14, 18 January 2021 (UTC)- No need to remove, an archive can be found here.
Done Chompy Ace 00:36, 19 January 2021 (UTC)- Just realized that the archive doesn't have any information on the premiere, and should therefore be replaced. Luckily, I found a reference from CBS that can be swapped in. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk? 01:02, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
- No need to remove, an archive can be found here.
- "worldwide total of $196.4 million.[1] (In 2006 in Hong Kong, the film had a re-release that grossed $682K, increasing the total to $197.1 million.)[1]" → "worldwide total of $196.4 million (In 2006, the film had a re-release in Hong Kong that grossed $682 thousand, increasing the total to $197.1 million).[1]"
- The reference after "ranks fifth" is subscription-only and should be marked as such.
Critical reception
[edit]- The claim that critics "compared the film to the works of Alfred Hitchcock" needs a reference.
- The reference Swallow 2007, page 172, the first three sentences. It does not need to be repeated for each one. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 13:45, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
- Already done Chompy Ace 02:39, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
- Change the title of the Rotten Tomatoes reference to simply "Panic Room (2002)".
- Done as Panic Room per consistency with other film articles using {{Cite rt}} Chompy Ace 13:52, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
- Only two reviews? This section can definitely be expanded.
- Need more links for reviews? Chompy Ace 02:14, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
- I'm just saying that there are definitely reviews around the performances, directing, writing, or even negative reviews that can be added.
- Need more links for reviews? Chompy Ace 02:14, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
- Additionally, the extensive use of quotes needs to be reduced per WP:RECEPTION.
Home media
[edit]- Link the reference after "to buy the film" to the actual citation.
- Move the reference after "special edition DVD" to the end of the sentence its in.
- Mark the reference after "including one by the director" as dead as the citation has been redirected to a different article.
Accolades
[edit]- "Contemporary Film award" → "Contemporary Film Award".
- The Art Directors Guild Award reference should be a verdict, not a list of nominations.
- Already done, winners indicate asterisks as shown in the website Chompy Ace 14:48, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
- Same thing for the Saturn Award nomination.
- Combine both paragraphs into one.
- Move the Saturn Award nomination to the end.
- "For acting" → "For her performance in the film".

Notes
[edit]- @Rusted AutoParts: I have just added some of my notes, so feel free to add comments and message me back. I will be adding the rest of my suggestions for the analysis, release, and accolades sections either today or later in the week. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk? 19:08, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Rusted AutoParts: I have just finished adding most, if not all, of my notes. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk? 01:06, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Chompy Ace: just pinging to see which of these you tackled so I don’t retread any water. Rusted AutoParts 12:28, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
- Some Dude From North Carolina, the editors do not appear to have completed WP:GAN/I#N1, "Anyone may nominate an article to be reviewed for GA, although it is preferable that nominators have contributed significantly to the article and are familiar with its subject and its cited sources. Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article on the article talk page prior to a nomination." It is concerning to see an editor remove content that references Swallow's chapter about Fight Club, considering it "trivia". Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 13:50, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
- I started noticing your more significant contributions to the page in the edit history so I’ll take blame for not consulting you. Apologies. Rusted AutoParts 13:55, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
