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 Horton

 BY THE NUMBERS PSYCHO ON THE LOOSE, BUT............ November 10, 2008

'P2' adds nothing new to the genre, but it is somehow watch-able. I found myself knowing what was around every corner, but it didn't keep me from peeking anyway. I did enjoy the parking lot setting and I'm sure we have all been a bit nervous walking through one at one time or another. There is also one gruesome and gory death, so if your squeamish you may want to pass this up or close your eyes, like my wife did. I have seen much worse, but this is really pretty standard stuff. I caught this on cable, so I know nothing about the DVD quality or extras.
 Fantastic Movie........ October 18, 2008

This is one of those movies you want to watch again & again JUST IN CASE you missed something in a previous viewing. There are not too many movies that I will watch more than once....but this one is !
A New Level of Mediocrity October 17, 2008
man_invisible (Dork, PA)
Tonally inconsistent and woefully lacking in anything resembling palpable suspense (ditto terror), "P2" is a bland, would-be gore porn entry from Alexandre Aja and Gregory Levasseur (they brought us the superior remake of "The Hills Have Eyes" and "High Tension"), who, as producers, attempt to guide novice director Franck Khalfoun's debut feature into "a new level of terror." While the production values and directorial technique are solid (if nothing else, the film moves along at a reasonable pace), "P2" is obvious and predictable: workaholic twentysomething Angela (Rachel Nichols, whose "Amityville Horror" bust deserves a co-starring credit) finds herself trapped in the underground parking garage of the title, held captive by obsessed security guard Thomas (a WAY over-the-top Wes Bentley) on Christmas Eve. What could have been a nifty Hitchcockian game of cat and mouse falls into genre convention quickly, failing to derive any suspense from the situation--the attempts to mold Angela into a tough-chick action warrior fall hilariously flat, and Bentley's captor is howlingly overdone, his "menace" conveyed through a series of hissy-fit shouting. If not for the aforementioned production values and a gung-ho theatrical ad campaign, "P2" could have easily passed muster for a mid-'90s telemovie on USA.
This Guy Needs A Break From Those Exhaust Fumes... October 8, 2008

Tom (Wes Bentley) is a parking garage attendant. He's also a very lonely guy. He sets his sites on a girl who works in the high-rise office building above. Her name is Angela (Rachel Nichols) and she is the one for whom Tom has been waiting all of his life. His dream-girl. This could lead to a beautiful and touching love story. Fortunately, Tom is a madman w/ unnatural ideas about human relationships! It's Christmas time, and Tom has gathered up the courage to make his move. Alas, poor Angela isn't going to make it to the family x-mas party. She may not survive the night. P2 is a thriller that makes the best of it's limited location. Some inventive ideas help to heighten the tension while not being cliche. The elevator scene is a good example of this. I didn't foresee the tactic used by Tom in order to get Angela out of the lift! It was brilliant and different! Unlike movies such as REST STOP, this one has interesting interaction between the killer and his victim. It also has actual suspense and a woman who uses her grey matter for more than just skull filler! Angela is no dummy! She utilizes whatever she can get a hold of to battle for her survival. Tom is dangerous and pitiful at the same time. His mental ups and downs are jarring without being ridiculous. P2 is a fabulous late-night's entertainment...

I thought this movie was good but could have a bit more thrilling parts to it. It shows that a woman does what she has to do in the situation of a stalker especially if he's a nut case like the man in this movie.
