(1 - 20) of 20 OFCS Rating: 35% Rotten Page   1   "all the pieces are in place for a great thriller - and then, just like your typical Yuletide get-together, it all falls a little flat."   Eye for Film   Anton Bitel 3/5 "Sometimes a hoary old cliche can come bubbling back to life if handled in a respectful and direct manner - and this describes P2 perfectly."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron D- "On the elevator button scale of horror, I would say that P2 is not as scary as LL1, but a massive improvement over GRND LVL."   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf "How is it that Elvis has become the go-to sign of boys' obsessions?"   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2.5/4 "...a welcome respite from the awards-season fodder currently flooding cinemas."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair C "[A] film that would have been better served if released only as a DVD and not in theaters, or better yet not released at all."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2.5/4 "Routine but skillful, P2 takes a bare-bones premise and uses it to string up a series of escalatingly tense situations."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman D "Wes Bentley's screaming and ranting is (unintentionally) funny, not unnerving. It's like being menaced by Tobey Maguire."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3.5/5 "Take "Red Eye," mix it with "Creep," and add a dash of "Haute Tension," finely puree with a sprinkle of camp, and what you have is a long tall glass of this demented horror film..."   Film Threat   Felix Vasquez Jr. D "There's a fine line between the gloriously grotesque and the repulsively grisly, and the picture crosses it too often."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "A serviceable gore-minded thriller --- a competent execution of a premise that ultimately becomes hampered by its inherent constraints."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2.5/5 "a strictly middle-of-the-road entry in the slasher genre, scoring points for performances and areas of execution but running out of creative juice far too early, settling for stock chills and thrills"   Boxoffice Magazine   Jay Antani B- "Wes Bentley...may be a tad over the top as a sociopathic parking attendant, but the paces he puts his victim through are cleverly thought out (one impossibility excepted) and continually rachet up the tension."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "An efficient scare package that breaks no new ground but gets the job done."   Film Journal International   Maitland McDonagh C+ "Has quite a bit going for it, which makes its eventual reliance on inane genre gimmicks that much more disappointing."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 2/5 "Toda a trama nada mais é do que uma mera desculpa para enfiar a belíssima atriz num vestidinho branco justo e encharcá-la a fim de que ele fique ainda mais grudado em seu corpo escultural."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 1/5 "You would be better off spending 96 minutes stuck in the parking garage of the movie theater instead of in the multiplex watching it%u2013at the very least, the carbon monoxide fumes probably won't kill as many brain cells."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 2.5/4 "P2 trembles in the shadow of Red Eye but it's not without its virtues."   Slant Magazine   Rob Humanick 2/5 "About as basic and unmemorable as a horror flick gets."   FEARnet   Scott Weinberg C+ "... a well-tooled premise executed with surprising restraint, at least compared to the gore-centric sadism of the current crop of horror films."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker  (1 - 20) of 20 OFCS Rating: 35% Rotten Page   1
