A Brilliant Conflict

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This movie is the most stupid thing I have ever watched. I thought it this movie will be good boy was I wrong. I thought it should be good because Josh from Drake and Josh is in it, I liked him in Drake and Josh and he was a good actor but boy I was wrong. The ideas for the movie was good but some of the elements were a loss of crap.

This isn't going to be a long review, and its hardly about the movie but the only reason im writing it is because people are giving this movie a 1/10, which just is not right. I feel a 1/10 means it is the worst movie imaginable, that there is no plot, there is no acting, the camera is blurry, the sound is trashy.. EVERYTHING. it has got to be the WORST movie you have ever seen in your lifethe worst movies I've ever rated are Red Dawn at 1 and Happening at 2/10 (in light of this review i might even change those two.. might). I gave ATM 5/10. better than movies at 4/10, not as good as movies at 6/10, simple. You cant honestly say this is worst than a movie at 2/10!! The people that rate this 1/10 are the people who either rate a movie 1/10 or 10/10 because they either love it to death, or think its the worst garbage ever.People who're saying "oh god did this movie makes me angry", its a suspenseful thriller, its supposed to make you angry you idiot! "oh there's so many plot holes" yeah, the director DOESN'T CARE, hes done his job, hes made the producers happy as they got your dumb ass to the theatre. "i cant believe this movie even had a screenplay" yeah, the writers don't care because the director doesn't care because the producers don't care. do you get it?this movie isn't made for winning Oscars, its made for making money, and guess what... they did that. can only find foreign theatre stats at £1m, but theatre AND bluray AND TV WORLDWIDE for the next say 15 years, easily!people who're saying "but who is the killer and why's he killing them", i bet they didn't say that about Phone Booth.. why because that guy's got a code and this guy doesn't? so what, sometimes killers kill for no reason other than because they can, you're just upset that you fell for it and payed money to see it.is it suspenseful, yes it is. does it make you angry, oh yes it does. could the actor have put the actress on his shoulders first before trying anything else because shes lighter and they can get to the sprinkler, definitely. is it stupid that the actress was OK with staying in the ATM booth to get killed, yes. did i laugh at the way she died, immeasurably! is the acting terrible, eh I've seen worse. are there plot holes, erm duh yes which horror thriller doesn't have them. are the people rating and reviewing 1/10 because they're salty asses who payed money to see this in the theatre, yes. did this movie reach its target audience and hit its KPI's, you betchya. is the movie studio a business which did its job, again yes. would i recommenced this movie, never. are there better movies to watch, absolutely.

It's fun to take this movie a part which I think is why there are so many reviews but let me just say that it's a pretty fun movie to say, "why don't they just.. "That guy isn't the killer..." "Why wasn't anyone watching when the killer set a booby trap? (I think it was trying to be a like Saw movie but the writing couldn't get smart enough and frankly those booby trap movies are boring). In this day and age, I can tell you these three people could easily be my friends, stuck in an ATM after parking so far away because of some weirdo stalking the parking lot, trying to figure out the best way to get out of there and ultimately just wimping out over the strange circumstances and start blaming each other. And with the crazy stories I read in the news daily, the premise really wasn't all that much of a stretch. That said the biggest blunder for me was when the girl died at the end (after we bonded with her) by her head hitting the counter when she fell off the guy's shoulders because her head missed it. I appreciated the ending with giving us some idea about the killer though for the most part it was pretty unsatisfying.

As about a million folks here have made clear, this film really takes the suspension-of-disbelief bit a tad into the next galaxy. Fortunately I only watched it while playing a word game. Which was much more thrilling than ATM. Director. Writer. You are obligated to plausibly account for why 3 people in bitter cold would park a hefty distance away from the ATM, and why the same 3 do not consider running away at any point, which they could easily do. There is ONE unarmed psycho out there (who, by the way, telepathically knows that his 3 imminent victims happen to not have their cell phones on them, which is extremely unlikely but which allows him to murder the comically sacrificial security guard in front of them). I'm actually fine with no explanation of the psycho's motives, although his residence choice (a storage locker) is questionable. Everything else, however, is just plain beyond ridiculous, even down to the police completely ignoring the survivor's desperate attempt to point out the killer, and there were a lot of police. This could have been a good thriller. All it needed was writing that obeyed the most basic laws of physics and probability.
