Review of P2

P2 (2007)
This Guy Needs A Break From All Those Exhaust Fumes...
21 June 2022
Thomas (Wes Bentley) is a lonely parking garage attendant. He's also in love with Angela (Rachel Nichols), who works in the office tower above him. In another movie, this would lead to a beautiful relationship. Fortunately, in P2, Thomas is a maniac with unnatural ideas in his head.

It's Christmas time and Thomas has gathered up the courage to make his move. Angela's been working late and is expected at the family Christmas party. It looks like she'll be a no-show this year.

P2 is a tense thriller that makes great use of its limited location by keeping things moving. Some innovative ideas help to heighten the suspense, including an elevator scene that's novel and terrifying. There's also good interaction between Thomas, whose vacillating mental states are jarring, and Angela, who's no dummy. She uses her head instead of just running around screaming. It all becomes a true battle for survival.

Highly recommended for those in need of a good jolt or two...
