    P2 actually wasn't as bad as people are giving it credit. It was very suspenseful and caused me to jump a few times. Although some parts were predictable, not all of it was. It could have been better with a more realistic dog attack and a better ending.

    I'm so over torture porn. I assume when filmmakers can't create suspense, they resort to stomach-churning violence. Now that's creative! That'll scare the bejeepers out of 'em in Peoria. The really annoying thing about P2, besides Bentley's laughably bad performance, is the waste of an excellent premise. Is there anything more frightening than a deserted parking garage late at night? An intelligent, sophisticated game of cat-and-mouse (think "Wait Until Dark") would have been mezmerising. Instead, we have "I know what you did last Christmas Eve at the hostel on Wolf Creek". Unless you're the type that enjoys pulling the wings off of flies, skip it. Expand

    "P2" is a superior genre picture, a sort of "Red Eye" in a parking garage(in one scene, Thomas(Wes Bentley) gets red eye, literally), that's informed by Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill Vol. 1" when Angela(Rachel Nichols) goes all Uma on Thomas' psycho ass. Because of the times, "P2" resorts to the requisite gore to satisfy the core audience, which prevents this sometimes effective thriller from crossing over to a non-teen, non-bloodlust lovin' demographic. At its best, "P2" is a poor, poor, poor man's "Silence of the Lambs". It also makes a salient point about hierarchies in the workplace. Angela is willing to put up with sexual harassment from her boss, but not from a mere parking attendant. The leads, especially Wes "Anything Tobe Maguire Can Do, I Can Do Better" Bentley, do an exceptional job with their respective thankless roles, which should lead to better acting gigs in the future.

    Not much new in this film, you have seen it all before in one shape or form. The acting is okay and it does have some suspenseful moments but overall it's bland. Wes Bentley tries and does well as the psychopath.

    The acting was quite bad, and although the victim was slightly above the thick headed idiots in most thrillers, thats still not saying much. Overall the movie was another generic thriller with the bad acting and flimsy plot you have come to expect from American Cinema these days.

    Absolute bottom-feeding dreck that recycles everything you've seen before, over and over again, to the point of sheer boredom. However, it must be said that Rachel Nichols has an astounding set of titties.

    Very effective with great direction and suspense. Everything was very well thought out. Despite being a stalker movie there were some really novel twists and a deeper psychology to this film. I would watch it again.

    I have seen this stuff too many times already and much better. This thriller is just a total fiasco.

    If you can't enjoy a great thriller like this, I feel sorry for you. Both this movie, and Hostel 2 have been compared to Saw movies and called inferior to them by so called professional critics! Critics suck so bad! A bit of gore and people crap themselves.

    I love this movie- it's like my dream come true. All those times i've yelled at the screens of suspense movies because of victim stupidity.... repaid.

    This movie was quite good. It's a real challenge to find a good horror movie anymore. There is either too much gore and/or too bad acting and/or not enough thrills and chills. This movie made me jump a few times, but the reason I didn't give it a full ten points is because of the ending. Happy endings are starting to get annoying, and plus like you wouldn't see a girl in a sleeveless blouse and not stop to ask her if something was wrong. But other than that, great movie. Good acting, good gore level (enough to keep you covering your eyes every now and then, but not enough to go to the bathroom to hurl), and good plot. I don't know about you, but I've never seen a movie where a woman is being stalked in a parking garage! Expand

    Not terrible in the vein of The Hills Have Eyes 2, but utterly formulaic and totally unfrightening.

    If it weren't for two excessively violent deaths, P2 could be termed a refreshingly old-fashioned thriller, one dependent on hairbreadth escapes and the pluck of its heroine.

    The lighting is appropriately dim, the music is reasonably clever, and they get in a few nice scares in the beginning. But as the movie wears on and Angela's desperation grows, any glimmer of fun seeps away. And we're left watching the same old grim game of cat and mouse.

    If in the end P2 contains few surprises, it's still a nice piece of polished escapism.
