The ending was pretty weak... nothing was solved and Jodie and her boy of a daughter (reminded me of the kid from T2) were looking for houses again.
They could've let Jodie Foster split that one guy's skull open (like what would've happen) and have Whittaker run away with all the money and get his daughter.
Minor Points: -ventilation system... like a couple others have said, the panic room was meant for short-term protection ('til the cops arrive), therefore a separate ventilation system wouldn't crucial
-construction date... some old guy owns a house for a couple years, gets paranoid as he ages, and eventually decides to build a panic room during the remaining years of his life... I'd say the build date is somewhere 'round mid-90s, if the movie's in the present (the cell phone tells us that).
The story's pretty solid with a few technical flaws (like the propane) and that one cop incident when Foster decided not to wink/blink, but the ending is what hit me the hardest. Having someone risk his freedom to save another person's life only to go to jail is a real bummer.
