Editorial Reviews

After leaving their company Christmas Party together, David (Brian Geragthy. The Hurt Locker) and Emily's (Alice Eve, Entourage, Starter for 10) impromptu first date takes an unexpected turn when their coworker, Corey (Josh Peck, The Wackness), asks them to make a late-night stop at an ATM. What should be a routine transaction turns into a bloody battle for survival when an unknown man appears and traps them inside the vestibule. With the wintry temperatures dipping below freezing and the morning sunrise still hours away, they have no choice but to play the man's deadly game of cat-and-mouse if they want to live through the night. With nail-biting suspense, ATM crafts one of the most shocking and suspenseful horror tales in years.

3.0 out of 5 stars A pretty tense but also very repetitive thriller that is worth watching. If you liked "Phonebooth" check this one out. I say B May 20, 2012

By Tony Heck

Format:DVD

"Why is he doing this?!!" After finally getting up the nerve to talk to the girl he likes David (Geraghty) is excited to be driving Emily (Eve) home. When his friend Corey (Peck) crashes his date and asks to stop at the ATM machine he is counting down the minutes till he can get Emily alone. After getting out the cash they turn around and notice a stranger starting at them. Their night takes a deadly turn. To start with this is not a bad movie at all. I like the movies like this where it takes an everyday activity and introduces terror into it. The big problem with this is that after a half hour it seemed to run out of ideas and kept repeating itself over and over. The one thing that really saved this and made it enjoyable was the end. This is not a typical "Hollywood" ending and that helped the movie a lot. If you liked "Devil" or "Phonebooth" then you will also like this one. This is worth a watch. Overall, a tense but also repetitive thriller that is worth watching. Ending is great & disturbing. I give it a B.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Modest, But Entertaining, Thriller: Need Cash In The Middle Of the Night? Park Close! July 22, 2012

By K. Harris HALL OF FAMETOP 10 REVIEWER

Format:Amazon Instant Video

Although I am certain that some people will not like "ATM," I actually found it to be a relatively enjoyable little thriller. As a B-movie guilty pleasure, this slight film benefits from having modest ambitions. Thus, with its limited scope, I think it works satisfactorily as a pleasing and entertaining diversion. You want a big complicated plot? You need interesting back story? You want character motivation? Don't bother with any of that! "ATM" plays out as a simple, but extravagant, nightmare. Three young professionals visit an ATM booth in the middle of the night only to have that seemingly mundane decision irrevocably change their lives. A menacing figure watches them from afar. And as they contemplate what to do, his murderous intentions become quite clear. Who is he? Why has he targeted this trio? Again, the plot that holds "ATM" together is sketchy at best. You'll get the most enjoyment by not thinking about it, not analyzing the logic, just experiencing it. Normally, I might not have thrown aside intellectual reservations but I found the cast appealing and reasonably resourceful so, in this instance, I was willing to go along for the ride.

It helps immeasurably that the movie casts Brian Geraghty, Josh Peck, and Alice Eve in the principle roles. All are exceedingly likable, their chemistry is palpable, and their discourse is amusing. We meet the trio at an office Christmas party. Geraghty is secretly crushing on Eve and his chance to score some alone time with her is compromised when he has to give his intrusive friend (Peck) a ride home as well. They are soon on the road, bantering playfully. A last minute decision to score some cash (who doesn't love late night eats?) begins a hellish descent into surviving at all costs. To make the situation particularly delightful, they park (for the sake of plot convenience) a spectacular distance from the booth. It's so silly, you have to laugh along! Later on a security guard will do the same thing! But once confined in the booth, the film generates a fair amount of suspense as they try to figure out what to do. And the performances are committed and believable.

As I said, "ATM" doesn't attempt anything too complex and that's why it works as well as it does. I'd have preferred that the danger be a random madman, but as in movies of this type--he seems to be a skillful genius. But I did think the movie was fun and I really think that is all it was aspiring to be. About 3 1/2 stars. This gritty little picture won't win any awards, but it passes a tense 90 minutes. KGHarris, 7/12.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Concept, Poor Execution October 13, 2012

By Jonathan

Format:Amazon Instant Video

ATM follows three co-workers as they make a late-night stop at an isolated ATM; as they are leaving, they notice a strange person watching and stalking them. The concept is great, and could've kept people from using ATMs at night, but fails to effectively use it.

The bulk of the film takes place in a walk-in-ATM (think: a very large phone booth) in a parking lot. A chain of unfortunate and illogical events take place that leads them there; for example, they need cash because Corey (Josh Peck) must eat at night and the place he must eat at only accepts cash. That's slightly understandable, right? Oh, but David (Brian Geraghty) has to park as far away as possible, then everyone has to get out of the car because Corey's debit card is not working and Emily (Alice Eve) doesn't want to wait in the car. Then, all of the phones are dead or misplaced. Unfortunate for this group, but very fortunate for the psycho outside. Other events like these are scattered across the movie, like a security guard with very bad hearing. Honestly, they could've rushed the man that was clearly unarmed at the beginning or split up when he disappeared for several minutes at a time. As you can see, the movie is poorly and lazily written. I did like the concept a lot, and the feeling of helplessness was evident. The acting was decent, and the music was great. It also has a very fast pace, and has a runtime of 1hr and 20min without the credits, so it's a perfect time-killer if you can get past the illogical events. The ending was also decent.

Overall, ATM has an amazing and chilling concept, but it's ultimately poorly executed. It has many flaws, but can kill time if you're bored and want a couple of thrills. As of 10/13/12, this film is available on Netflix Streaming, and you should stream or rent before purchasing.

ATM has strong blood and violence, no sex or nudity.
