Review of P2 (2007) by Michael V — 15 Nov 2011
The idea of putting a horror/thriller in a parking garage did make me interested. Good atmosphere. Lots of places to hide. Lots of imaginative things can pan out. Just that they didn't do that here.
The acting wasn't very good; the psycho in this is beyond annoying and poorly portrayed by Wes Bentley. I swear this guys only shining moment is American Beauty and I can see why. He really just catch that fire again.
And a lot of what he says just doesn't make sense. The heroine was decent in her performance, attractive I must say. But the story was just downright silly; the movie could've been done in a half hour or a cheap made for tv slot.
The script needs to be tightened up. This is indeed the case; as I couldn't help but think that the makers were just adding a lot of filler so the film would last at least 90 minutes. The movie tries to be funny when you don't want it to, but then on the other hand some scenes where they are trying to be serious are laughable.
The heroine could've gotten out of her predicament a few times. You get your standard gore which is nice but again ended up disappointed due to the fact it comes off cartoonish then anything else.
Don't listen to anybody who says this movie has any bit of gooey goodness to it. Their brains are slowly leaking out of their ear.
