P2

There’s a line from 10 Things I Hate About You, where one character asks another “I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed. But can you just be whelmed?” Yup. Just watch P2. It’s as middle of the road as it gets. A bog-standard pot boiler of a cat-and-mouse thriller, with its only novel component being the setting of a parking garage. Characters make dumb mistakes, events happen that shouldn’t be realistic because the camera isn’t on them, but there’s tension and action some surprising practical gore. It’s never bad, but it never does anything to separate itself from similar “kidnapper vs. kidnapped” movies. The kind of movie designed to watch and forget.
