You won't be disappointed!

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

What a stinker! Have some self respect, Ms. Nichols, and choose roles that involve a lot more than you running around a parking garage in what amounts to a slip. Are things going that poorly in your career that this drek seemed like the right choice? If so, quit your day job and do something else. Please. For everyone's sake.

To start I would like to say that movie P2 is not really worth watching in my opinion. P2 has a lot of scenes which are really irrelevant, the flow of the movie is really slow and a little bit boring. There are so many moments in which the main actress could have easily killed the psychopath, but obviously nothing of it has happened, in order to make the movie much longer. Indeed the movie is a little creepy, however in my opinion everything is more than obvious. You could easily predict what will happen next. Actors game is good, but not perfect.As I already have mentioned, I would not recommend this movie. 4/10.

It seems to be a rule of many thrillers, that if a vicious dog makes an appearance you can be sure it shall be put to use against a protagonist. Another rule stipulates that if there are cellphones they shall, for whatever reason, not work.Unfortunately for the movie, not only does the female lead's phone abandon her, so does her brain. The synopsis of this film suggested a character that had to use her wits to overcome her captor, and her own inner-problems or limitations or something to that effect. And of course, being stuck in an abandoned parking garage it had me intrigued. But the character (Angela, played by Rachel Nichols)) was so poorly developed it was hard to empathise or sympathise with her; we never knew where she came from or what was going on with her life or how she was feeling. And when a film has only two main characters this is of itself a major problem.As for the other half, the antagonist Thomas played here by Wes Bentley, screaming, and crazy angry stares don't account for character development. We understand that he is alone, possibly lonely, coz he sorta kinda says as much (towards the end of the film, mind). But that's as far as we go into his fractured psyche which again leaves us with another character we cannot on any level relate to. Though I will say his evil deeds are annoying and grotesque, and I'm referring here to the lone, obligatory blood'n'guts scene which I found to be highly distasteful. So you do sorta end up hating him and praying for his demise but for the wrong reasons.And then there were flaws with logic (as another reviewer pointed out), in dealing with her seeming inability to find a fire alarm and set it off, or phoning 911 when she had the time to. Of course, if she had done so it would've ended the whole film a lot sooner, although I'm not sure if that would've been an altogether bad thing.If you're looking for good thriller that knows how to create suspense, I'd go either for Red Eye with the wonderful Rachel McAdams and Cillian Muprhy; or the tense, fast-paced A Lonely Place to Die with Melissa George - not only does this movie have a better story, it has some lovely cinematography to boot.I give it a 3 outta 10 coz I didn't find the acting all too bad; it wasn't too bad to look at, either; and it certainly wasn't the worst I've seen.

I am nutsy-cuckoo for coco puffs for this film. I own a copy and watch every couple of months. This is the story of...pfft, who wants to read a plot synopsis? Neither you or me. The premise is utterly absurd, I'll admit that however, the more you watch it, the more plausible it could be. Roger Ebert, the late, great one, reviewed and applauded it for its' realism, reminding him of the time he got locked inside Hyde Park in London, England. That's sounds like a joke, too but it happened. What makes this story work so well is how real everything is. It's not too extreme in any direction and Rachel Nichols' Angela is equal parts scared, smart and assertive. Bentleys' Thomas doesn't seem scary but that's what make him more so; that ability to seem sane and rational while all the while being a raving lunatic. You know, this movie is mostly in the dark parking garage but you can see everything! There is actual lighting so it isn't a struggle to tell what's going on. Round of applause to Franck Khalfoun, the director, and Maxime Alexandre, cinematographer for that. And Ruth Secord, costumes, she deserved an award for that dress (14 used) Rachel Nichols wore. Sorry, gents, it stayed in place for the whole picture. I guess that's a spoiler. Karl certainly didn't ruin my Christmas.
