Had its moments and a must if a Wes Bentley fan since he plays a much different role here than Yellowstone.

P2 is the story of a young woman working late on Christmas Eve trying to get home to visit her family. First, her car won't start. And then when she calls a cab and tries to leave the building, the gate is locked. But all of these problems soon become moot when she finds herself chloroformed by the night watchmen. And what at first seems like a kidnapping of convenience soon proves itself to be frighteningly premeditated. Can she escape before this madman kills her? Or will she find herself a helpless victim of his twisted desires?

This is a taut, well-made thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The lovely Rachel Nichols does an excellent job as a young woman who must go from oblivious to victim to strong if she is to survive. And Wes Bentley turns in a creepy perfomance as a lonely, twisted man bent on dominating the object of his desires. If you're a fan of fast-paced thrillers, you'll find this is one of the best ones out there from recent years.

I absolutely loved this movie. Suspense, thrills, empathy for the "killer," a bit of gore, and good looking actors to satisfy both the males and females. P2 is about a hardworking woman who stays late at her job on Christmas Eve, only to discover her car won't start when she tried to leave. The night watchman/security guard offers to help, but is unable to get her car started. He continues to offer assistance, but is turned down. That's when things start to go wrong. This movie will keep you rooting for Angela as well as feeling a bit sorry for Tom. A very likable move for fans of thrillers/horror films.

P2

(3 out of 5 stars)

"P2 finds an aspiring businesswoman trapped in the parking garage of her building on Christmas Eve as a crazed security guard stalks her every move. As the cover suggests, the only interesting character in the film is Rachel Nichol's cleavage, which isn't as sexist as it is sad. Wes Bentley is far too predictable and over-the-top as the whack job Thomas, shredding all credibility the role may have held in someone else's hands. Although Angela is written as a smart, strong, and capable female protagonist, her efforts are wasted as she is caught in a tedious game of cat and mouse. The seriousness of the plot is constantly broken up by moments of laughable gore and unnecessary humor involving Bentley's Thomas, which makes it difficult to build any suspense. This is only made worse by the heavy reliance on dramatic music cues that attempt to build false scares using only the cheapest techniques imaginable. P2 does offer all of the polished production and filming of a major studio release, and it must be stated that director Franck Khalfoun has taken advantage of every corner of the parking structure to capitalize on inherent nighttime fears. In the end, we are given a stylish thriller that lacks heart and falls short of making the grade.
