The Movie Mob

**P2 isn’t unique, but its outstanding lead, Christmas charm, and smart decisions make it a well-done and entertaining thriller.** P2 might be a straightforward kidnapping thriller, but with a female lead that makes smart survival decisions and surprisingly strong performances for a B slasher flick, P2 is a solid suspense film that genre fans can use to celebrate the holidays. Rachel Nichols delivers a performance that makes her terror and resolve feel genuine and convincing and adds some realism to the film. So much better than what you would expect in a low-budget horror movie. Watching her character develop from panicked to decisive and strong is a major film highlight. Wes Bentley’s villain is crazed, creepy, and unpredictable, keeping the audience guessing whether he will try to romance or murder his victim. P2 is a simple low-budget thriller that might not be award-worthy but still entertains anyone looking for a different type of Christmas movie.

40/100 A psychotic security guard terrorizes a woman in a parking garage on Christmas Eve. I defy anyone to say they don't feel some anxiety walking though an empty parking garage. So, I expected this film to be quite a thriller. What I got was frustrated as I'm forced to watch a woman running around aimlessly trying to avoid a stupid psycho in one contrived scene after another. She only defends herself in the last 15 minutes. Ample fire axes and hoses in the garage but no fire alarms? Seriously?? Dumb movie. -- DrNostromo.com
