This film reminds me of the style of thrillers that have been made in the last few years where the setting is confined to one place and the situation keeps getting worse for the characters remaining. This film is a good example of these kind of films, which I personally don’t mind watching. The setting for this one is an unstaffed banking room in the middle of a car park. I don’t know why any bank would build one of these in the middle of a car park but that’s maybe something common in America? 3 Office workers, who just happen to work for a bank, stop off at the ATM to allow one of hem to get some cash to buy pizza on the way home from an office Christmas party. Personally, I would have told the idiot to get a cab. The other passenger is a girl that the other guy wants to ask out on a date and has offered to take her home. Instead of being a good friend, the other guy insists on being driven home and then insists on stopping for some cash to buy pizza, oh my God, why? It’s early in the morning. Hasn’t he had food at the party? It makes no sense.
So in the ATM there is a problem with his card and all 3 enter the room. Then things start to go bad. Between them and getting back to the car is a guy wearing a black coat whose face they can’t see. He looks mean and when a stranger appears walking his dog, this guy in the coat kills him in plain sight of the 3 in the room. This freaks them out. Instead of making a run for it, they stay in room. I told you it makes no sense. Things do indeed get worse as is the case with all of these sort of films. I won’t spoil it for you but needless to say that they don’t all make it out. There’s no happy ending, that’s a spoiler for you. I enjoyed watching it to see what would happen but a large part of me was frustrated with their behaviour.
