P IS FOR PSYCHO
Added 9/4/2009
CHRISTMAS EVE IN A PARKING GARAGE IS NOT SO MERRY. HARD WORKING RACHEL NICHOLS FINDS HERSELF THE PRISONER OF PSYCHO SECURITY GUARD WES BENTLEY.
THIS IS A STYLISH THRILLER FUELED BY THE PERFORMANCES OF NICHOLS AND BENTLEY. ALTHOUGH IT LOSES SOME STEAM TOWARDS THE END, IT REGAINS IT IN AN EXPLOSIVE FINALE. IT'S ACTUALLY A VERY GOOD FLICK.

The security guard is creepy. Angela screams. For a movie about a woman running around in her underwear, this is a strangely inert deal. The main problem seems to be that the filmmakers relied on a pretty standard stalker script and forgot to populate it with interesting characters. The woman is cute. The security guard has some fun with Elvis impressions and Santa Claus costumes. But there's just a lot of scream. Scream. Run. Fight. Get beat up. Run. Fight. Repeat.
It doesn't help that the stalker is more interesting. Don't know if he's the better actor but he does get the most to do. For these thrillers to work, you have to side with the victim and want her to get away. When the victim is a cypher and the stalker is more interesting, you really have no one to side with. By the halfway mark, I was starting to want the stalker to get his heart's desire whatever that might be - doesn't really go into the psychology of stalking or obsession - he's just crazy in movie script crazy speak.
Essentially this is a play that's been adapted for the big screen. Sometimes that works like with Glengarry Glen Ross but most of the time it just falls flat - like The Big Kahuna. Even the strongest actors can't get over a weak script with limp direction and these aren't the best actors in the world (although I will withhold judgment until I see either of them in other movies).

This security guard gives stalker friend a run for his money

As P2 runs in heavy rotation on certain movie channels Sid figured it was time to check it out. In addition to it turning out to be an awesome suspense, the main actress Rachel Nichols (the promiscuous babysitter from the The Amityville Horror remake) with her low cut dress didn't hurt matters. It has to be one of the better edge of your seat thrillers we have seen in a long time. It's a wonder how this one bombed in the box office? Which happens to be fine with Sid because we prefer the lesser liked films that either are or walk the line of B.
The story takes place on Christmas Eve, Sid's favorite, where the non-stop executive Angela pulls another late night. In hopes of making her family Christmas party she hops into her BMW only to find it won't start. Now being the only one n the locked garage she seeks help from Thomas the parking security guard. Big mistake as she doesn't realize Thomas is an obsessed peep freak whose been waiting for the perfect time to pounce on Angela. He winds up holding her hostage forcing her to join him for dinner in his garage office (much like a Santa/Brett Q meeting would most likely pan out). From here on out things just get worse and worse and he tries the worst way to pick up a chick possible. Even Mystery & Matador couldn't help this guy.
Certainly far better then Sid could have even imagined. Since trailers were all over tv we stayed away from it. Our bag is more of the straight to video market, but from time to time we splurge and give bigger flicks a shot. P2 was worth the chance because it was awesome. It contained the right amount of suspense, laughs, and WTF moments making this one a 5 star event in Sid's humble opinion. This is surely one a young elf would have loved do to it's suspense and low cut Rachel Nichols action.
