Plot Summary: It's Christmas Eve. Angela Bridges (Rachel Nichols- "Alias"
and "Charlie Wilson's War"), an ambitious young executive, works late before she
leaves for her family's holiday party. When she gets down to the parking garage,
she discovers that her car won't start. The garage is deserted and her cell
phone doesn't get a signal underground. When Thomas (Wes Bentley- "American
Beauty"), a friendly security guard, comes along and offers to help, Angela
nervously accepts his gesture of good will. Soon after a failed attempt to start
her car, he invites her to stay and share a small Christmas dinner he's
preparing in the parking office, but she laughs it off. Angela doesn't realize
this is no laughing matter – Thomas has been watching her closely...for months.
His dinner invitation is not optional. If Angela wants to live to see Christmas
morning, she must find a way to escape from level P2 of the parking garage.
EN 5 Second Review:
The only thing we can say is we love the boobage and
blood. That
said the best part of this movie is this

Cheerfully
manipulative, P2 is the kind of movie that invites audiences to
yell back at the screen and cheer Mike Mayo: Washington Post
As the title suggests, the action never moves far from the
building and the garage. That limited space works in the film's favor....more
The
same old grim game of cat and mouse. Sure, we hope the mouse
gets away. But mostly we just want the whole thing to end Jessica Reeves: Chicago Tribune
Don't you just hate those career girls? Oh, they're just
asking for it with their big jobs and their big brains and
their buttoned-up suits. Wouldn't it be great if someone
would teach them a lesson? They need to know they can't walk
around thinking they're better than everyone else, thinking
men don't still hold the reins.
That pretty much sums up the testosterone-fueled plot line
(I use the term advisedly) behind "P2," not to mention many
other recent movies...more
