P2 (2006)

Dir: Franck Khalfoun

A hi-octane horror set in the unlikely location of a parking lot. This one pits a busty businesswoman (Rachel Nichols) against a psychotic security guard (Wes Bentley) in a cat and mouse game that, despite being shot almost entirely with two people and one set, never gets boring. There's no question that "P2" is ridiculous. If you're looking for something dark and serious, go elsewhere. This is pure exploitation gold though. Nichols has her cleavage on prominent display for almost the whole run-time, Bentley gives a truly insane performance (including an impromptu song and dance number!), the script is tight and lively (and loaded with classic one-liners), and the gore, when it happens, is unflinching and splattery (although I wasn't fond at all of the animal scene - they could've quite happily ditched that and replaced with a good old-fashioned human death). It's not exactly cerebral but it's a ferociously entertaining slice of suspense that never lets up. I enjoyed this a lot. ***
