The idea and concept towards the movie is something semi-new and done pretty decently. The actors/actress in this movie, were excellent. The plot was decent and the storyline was decent.<br /><br />To defend a point below about running back into the ATM with Josh Peck. What were they supposed to do? Josh Peck was hurt, The main protagonist was already injured a bit. Did you expect that the main protagonist and the female should try to assist Josh Peck away at a slow pace? The guy never set foot in the ATM and never attempted to get in. In a situation like that, what are you going to do? Run away and leave your friend to die? Try to carry your friend to safety somewhere else, knowing full well a killer could be coming for you? In that situation they did the most logical thing you could do in that situation, go back into the ATM where hopefully they would remain safe from his attacks.<br /><br />There is some flaws in the script and writing, however if you look past these minor details and actually WATCH this movie, you will enjoy it.<br /><br />If you did watch this movie, and didn't enjoy it, clearly you are either too simple minded to grasp the concept, or you are looking for something spectacular to blow your mind and a simple, well written movie like this will never reach your expectations.<br /><br />I have recommended this movie to other people, and have gotten great compliments from EVERYONE I told to see this movie, telling me it was a good movie, with a decent thriller vibe plot.<br /><br />8/10. Watch the movie!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-35588599543628409872013-08-18T19:29:29.894-07:002013-08-18T19:29:29.894-07:00I actually some what enjoyed this movie.

But the stupidity of the people stuck in the ATM nearly brought me to tears. First of all, they had thought up a pretty good plan. Light the papers on fire, and set off the alarm bring the police to them without using their phones. But of course, Corey decides to pretend like he doesnt have a lighter. Finally after killing a man watched two others die, one decides to make a run for it. but of course a trip wire magically appears and he runs into it, getting stabbed. Then the guy gets away, and the blonde guy get sent to prison, and his crush's neck snapped, i was crying. Not of sadness but of pure stupidity of everyone in the movie.

Geraghty has acting chops and I hate to see him wasted in this "movie guide on how to fail and die." When the villain was pummeling the random guy (who felt a -5 below midnight walk was just what his dog needed) and the three just stood and watched I knew I had committed to a rough movie. It's really hard not to just tear into how bad this movies plot and "twists" were. Highly suggest not purchasing this movie until a sequel that at least lays a foundation of character for the villain is made.BXDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734321739977269193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-76560952097152895352013-06-04T22:09:01.620-07:002013-06-04T22:09:01.620-07:00i cant what for the sequel vary cool movie beter t...i cant what for the sequel vary cool movie beter than the remake of halloween bast horror movie of 2012... raymondfelchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05812403258973576182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-48430673060928078392013-04-23T03:48:27.292-07:002013-04-23T03:48:27.292-07:00RidiculousRidiculousogaufinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-91885054483032189102013-02-25T19:05:21.327-08:002013-02-25T19:05:21.327-08:00That's the dumbest rebuttle i've ever hear...That's the dumbest rebuttle i've ever heard.

He can't chase them all and maybe he would hesitate enough that they could all get away. (Of course, they all three would have hit the trip wire in unison and fallen to the ground! LOL) Another irony was that the door to the ATM wasn't even locked to the outside. The villain could have come in at any moment, but apparently didn't know that. What was his original plan? Just kill one person in the ATM? Or did he plan to have a group so he could frame someone with the camera?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-80663277801722718142012-12-30T15:23:30.389-08:002012-12-30T15:23:30.389-08:00I hate that fucking movie.

Thought it was awful as well. There ...Great review. Thought it was awful as well. There is nothing likable about any character in this movie. The girl is super hot but that's about it. In most of these types of movies you develop some type of affinity for the killer or at least a little distain for some of the victims. Especially a movie that clearly wants to have sequels. I hate this fucking asshole and I don't really care either way about the people he's killing. I just find myself really wanting to kick the killers ass or wanting someone with some balls to kick his ass. You think maybe in the beginning that this guy is intelligent because of all his planning in his little room but then he lumbers around like a zombie hacking at the back door of the ATM and then somehow someone leaves a fire hose laying around and he gets this bright idea. What a mastermind??? And the ATM surveillance tape that he masterfully edited somehow doesn't seem too suspicious or anything. It's an open and shut case. 3 kids in their early twenties with good jobs go into an ATM and loose their fucking minds for no apparent reason. Case solved. I would have threw a pillow at my TV but I was watching it on my computer so I just deleted it. Not the worst thing I've ever seen but the most frustrating. If thats what the writer and director were going for then they did a great job. I doubt that they want people walking out of the theatre saying I hate that fucking movie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-31165642713040686542012-04-14T19:36:48.600-07:002012-04-14T19:36:48.600-07:00I thought it was a pretty decent watch.

Another part that bugged me: towards the end, when the guy rams the car into the door, the male lead clearly pushes the door open a bit. So then why would the room start filling up with water. Stupid, stupid. <br /><br />The film lost me when they went outside to get Josh Peck's character and RAN BACK INTO THE BUILDING.
