P2 (2007)


Angela (Rachel Nichols) is at work late on Christmas Eve, and when she's finally ready to leave it's just her and the doorman, Karl (Philip Akin). Angela proceeds to the parking lot to find that her car won't start. She finds Thomas (Wes Bentley), a security guard, who tries to help with the car. It doesn't work, so she heads back up stairs after an odd conversation with Thomas. She finds the door is locked, and Karl is nowhere to be found. And so starts her terror.

First impression is "wow, I bet this movie cost a ton of money to make with all the no name actors and the grand two locations".

The acting is actually alright. Karl plays the typical old, nice doorman and Thomas is a good creepy obsessed stalker. Angela on the other hand is horrible. She does the typical trapped woman, she has many idiotic ideas and could have ended it all within 10 minutes of being captured.

The plot...is thin. Thomas has been stalking Angela for months so he captures her, she escapes, he hunts her, etc. Been done a million times before and there was NOTHING standout here.

Overall it's an overused, average movie. There's really no reason to watch it, unless there's nothing else to see. It's not exactly bad, it's just so extremely average it's like you have already seen the movie. It's incredibly predictable too, you know who's going to die, you know who's going to get out, you know what's going to happen, you know not to waste your time on this.

4/10
