On a late night visit to an ATM, three co-workers end up in a desperate fight for their lives when they become trapped by an unknown man.
On the night of his office xmas party, a young day trader strikes up a conversation with an alluring coworker who is on her way out of the firm. After they strike up a mutual interest, He offers her a ride home but is forced to drop his close friend off as well. During the ride, they decide to get something to eat. Stopping at an ATM for cash.
While inside, they spot a menacing figure standing outside the doors and after he kills a guy in front of them, they realize they could suffer the same fate if they step outside while he's there. Trapped inside the booth, they have to come up with a plan or wait out the night; a task made more difficult as they have no heat and their torment intensifies.
ATM is about three people who are stuck in an ATM booth for hours as a menacing figure stands outside and torments them without rhyme or reason. It is a taut, tension filled thriller that really relies on the chemistry if its characters to get the film moving. The one thing I don't get about this movie is that it's three of them and one of him. They really could just run and scatter (especially when he's distracted) but then I guess we'd have no movie. Outside of that loophole, it works. I think it's a good concept, just sloppy in its execution.
Out of Ten? 6
Violence? Yes
Explosions? No
Nudity? No
This is probably a movie I'd watch and end up loving.
ReplyDeleteIt's decent, but heavily weighs on your like of the three characters. Once you start to hate one, the film loses it's legs.
