    "Panic" doesn't seem like much, and really isn't, but it's likable, and is a simple and well-acted character study. William H. Macy has an honest performance, while Sutherland excels as the manipulative father. Also, child actor David Dorfman does an exceptional job.

    A pleasant offbeat film with wonderful William H. Macy. Very enjoyable.
