Review – P2

Here we go again. A workaholic woman trying to escape the office and get home to her family on Christmas Eve ends up trapped in the building’s parking garage by a psycho stalker security guard. The set-up takes 20 minutes or so, and from there on out the only plot this thing manages is an endless parade of how’s-she-going-to-fail-to-escape over and over. Indeed, in a couple of spots I thought briefly that the Netflix download had skipped somehow, because the script came so preposterously close to repeating itself. The picture might have edged a point for production values – at least it wasn’t too cheap – but then our heroine kills the stalker’s dog with a crowbar. She had provocation, but still. And if you’re about to ask me why I watch movies like this if I hate them so much, my only defense is that Instant View makes it really, really easy. Wish I’d skipped it
