...between both Burnham’s and Meg’s familiar devotion. Whereas Meg’s struggles to protect her daughter are portrayed as valiant and admirable—a mother’s natural instincts—Burnham’s motives for breaking into the Altman??s brownstone, while objectively no less admirable, (his drive to reach the millions hidden in the panic room is motivated by his need to finance his fight for the custody and protection of his children) are vilified.
