P2 [2007] [DVD]

I remember seeing this when it was released on DVD, and thinking how good it was. It’s genuinely tense, creepy, and with excellent performances by both Rachel Nichols and Wes Bentley. It isn’t a gore fest, and relies more on building tension, but there is one particular scene that I still find incredibly hard to watch.Overall, this is an entertaining, excellent and well made thriller, which I would recommend.

I saw this on TV over Christmas and thought I'd add it to my collection; it's a fairly tense and gory wee thriller, an abduction plot that turns into a cat-and-mouse game – a cut above most thrillers of this type - well-made and with good casting.It wasn't a box office success, but it's sufficiently engaging to merit viewing again – it is a Christmas film after all, though not perhaps in the spirit of most of that particular genre.The standard UK DVD has three short featurettes – a “making of”, a look at the stunt design and a brief profile of the director; the main extra is a commentary.English subtitles are available if required.

It starts out to be any locked-in-the-building-after-hours movie, but then we're treated to some cool little situations; some of the solutions the characters choose were greatly missed from other films of this type, I was really pleased with those. There's couple of things that bothered me, though, I'm not going to spoil the story for those who haven't seen it, so I keep it for myself. All in all, it's a good ol'fashioned film with some rare turn-outs regarding the classic cliches we often see in this sort. Deserves the 4 stars, come Xmas, you might wanna check it out again for the fun of it...

I wasn't expecting too much from this - just something to pass the time watching it on Prime- but I was very pleasantly surprised as this was actually a good film. In spite of the fact you mainly only see 2 characters and they spend the whole time in the car-park/office building it was still very interesting, tense and exciting. I really liked the female lead who didn't conform to usual stereotypes in this kind of film - instead of thinking "What on earth are you doing that for, don't be so silly" as I usually do, I found myself thinking "good idea"! She was very believable as a smart professional woman having to figure out what to do whilst still understandably being upset. She was also easy to relate to and did not play the victim. I've not really seen the actress before but she was very good. Overall an enjoyable, tense thriller that didn't get too far-fetched and kept me on the edge of my seat pretty well.

P 2What can I say,.This woman finishes her shift , I know its Christmas Eve but everyone likes to do a bit of over time right?,( money after the holidays comes in handy) and she's a heartfelt sole so on her way to the car she calls in to the night watchman's office and has a Christmas drink with him , (could do with more people like that) But what do you know when she leaves his office and attempts to drive her car out some evil so and so has locked the entrance gate leaving her with no way out .( don't you just hate it when that happens)To make matters worse it turns out this night watchman is responsible and has been stalking her for months and doesn't want to let her go ( just what you want at Christmas, I mean she had plans to spend the festive holidays with her family in Baltimore ) what ensues is a fight for survival and some very bad driving ( hope she's up to date on her insurance premiums ) . In all I enjoyed this film and recommend it as a good evenings entertainment ,my only advice is be careful where you park at Christmas

I caught P2 on television last Christmas, and loved it so much, I bought it on DVD and rewatched it this Christmas.You're likely already familiar with the plot from the the product description and other reviews, so I won't repeat what has already been said. Rachel Nichols is terrific in the lead role and Wes Bentley is excellent as the unhinged, deluded, psychopathic security guard-reminds me of Heath Ledger as 'The Joker' in 'The Dark Knight.'Wes Bentley is menacing but the dialogue is superb, and will make you laugh-out-loud at times because of the sheer absurdity of his delusions. There's also a great "Elvis" scene which could have come straight out of a Twin Peaks episode.If you like horror films with a strong female lead (Alien, Halloween, Scream, You're Next et al) and games of cat-and-mouse, you will love P2. It's tense, entertaining, has great music and really good acting. In fact, I think I'll watch it next Christmas too!

It was really good and keeps you on the edge of your seat. It's not very gory it's more like a cat and mouse game. I normally prefer gory horror films but this one was one of the exceptions so you should settle down with some popcorn for this one!

The performance by Rachel Nichols raises this well above many of its type. At no time does she do the helpless girl, or screaming useless woman part. A creepy thriller with only two main characters and almost no other cast. Sounds impossible to do but it pulls it off completely. This has the feel of a French film, though it is American. The US film industry rarely trusts the viewer, usually dealing out plot spoilers and warnings within a few minutes. This time, they have gone all European, letting the tension build and the plot take its course. The subterranean setting of the underground car park helps build the atmosphere, and adds to the claustrophobic feel of the film. Think 'Creep' without the dribbling monster. This is a situation that you can see yourself in, with no science fiction or unrealistic elements added, or necessary. For any fan of the slasher movie, psychological thriller, or victim against the odds plot, it is a must buy.
