Movie Reviews of P2 (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: A movie about.... What?
Summary: 5 Stars
P2 is a special movie. I say special because the movie really doesn't have a clear enemy or hero (in this case heroine). The reason I say this is because from the start, Angela is the usual businesswoman: overworked, self-centered, ignores others that don't directly affect her, don't really care about her family enough, and seems to be outright rude to other people. Then we have Thomas an isolated disturbed young man who probably was ignored by everyone but wants to have a friend but somewhere along the line a nut fell lose in his head. Then we have the location of the movie: a locked parking garage in a cold city on Christmas Eve on floor two (P2, the name of the film). In many ways parking garages means everything bad or good in our world: coldness, isolation, and finally death.
The movie sort of plays with your head. It's like one minute you're rooting for Thomas, then the next, Angela. I sort of felt bad for Thomas in some parts, then in others I hated his guts. With Angela, I sort of understood her position: I mean the business world is tough and sometimes you just ignore other people or be rude not because you are a bad person but because you just have so much going on in your plate.
Overall, I liked the movie. To me I really didn't know who was the winner at the end. Perhaps this movie is about our life in the current business world. Maybe we're forgetting the little guys, or the little things that make us people. Check out the film though. Be warned though, it doesn't have a whole lot of guts and gore, but it's still pretty good to satisfy your morbid humor.
Summary of P2 (Widescreen Edition)
Stalker in a parking garage. You've got to give the makers of P2 credit: They've tapped a universal source of anxiety and stretched it out into a feature-length film. Underneath a Manhattan skyscraper, chic businesswoman Angela (Rachel Nichols) is knocking off for the Christmas holiday. Everybody else has cleared out of the garage--everybody but freaky-friendly attendant Tom (Wes Bentley), and his little dog too. Before long, Tom makes it clear that he'd like to have Angela for holiday dinner, whatever that might mean. Our heroine must summon all her resources, and the challenge of a low-cut dinner gown, to fight back. P2 (no, it's not the sequel to P) at least allows Angela a measure of common sense, as she actually thinks of some logical ways to fight back, and director Franck Khalfoun (working from an idea by Haute Tension guys Alexandre Aja and Gregory Levasseur) does indeed get the most out of the parking garage location. But the movie's at a loss to make these two characters interesting in any way, even at the Coyote vs. Roadrunner level. Tom's little quirks, like miming a dance to Elvis Presley's "Blue Christmas," feel like a desperate attempt to add flavor to an otherwise standard-issue creepo. Bentley (best known for American Beauty) does have the face of an obsessive, and Nichols has the face (and did we mention the cleavage?) of a movie star, so they're not hard to believe. But most of the time this movie is stuck on the wrong floor. --Robert HortonIt's Christmas Eve, when even the most voracious corporate climbers generally head home by dinner time. But not ANGELA (Rachael Nichols). She's the last one left at the office, determined to close one more deal before the holiday. The long hours she keeps will have an impact, but not the kind she's been hoping for.
