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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poorly written September 21, 2012

By Quentin Davis

Format:Amazon Instant Video|Amazon Verified Purchase

WARNING: SPOILERS.

I saw the trailer, and thought, "wow, how could they make a movie about being in an ATM scary, since it looks so easy for them to escape." I thought that the movie must be some well scripted mind game in which the bad guy plays with his victims to terrorize them and force them to choose the path he's laid out for them - so they stay in the ATM because they have no choice.

Uh, no. It's basically a movie about 3 incredibly stupid people who act just like stupid people would. And the killer has no plan. He just looks for ATM's that don't have good security camera coverage and then waits at night for someone to come by. Here is an example of something you think is about to reveal the mind game, and ramp up tension, but only serves to make you disconnect from the film given how unlike the you and the characters are (i.e., they are stupid):

The bad guy decides to walk around to the back of the ATM. You think he's about to unleash some pre-built trap from which the victims inside the ATM will have to think their way out of (or at least fight their way out of). The characters stand inside the ATM arguing about whether they should open the door to the ATM and run for it now that the bad guy can't see them (and he really can't). They can't make up their minds (they've already seen the bad guy kill a wandering homeless person in the parking lot, so they know they should run). So they just hang out inside the ATM, waiting for the mysterious man in the parka to come back. Oh, and what's the bad guy doing? Setting into motion some devious plan? Nope. He's around back of the ATM, and he cannot see the victims at all (can only hear their muffled voices a little), and he's just trying to jimmy the back door open and not succeeding.... He doesn't even have a proper tool to do it.

So, the bad guy goes to the back of the ATM to try and break in the back door, cause, you know, the front door that isn't locked would be too easy. He's around back, without any means to keep track of what the victims are doing and he's trying to pry the door open with tools not designed for the job (a hammer or wrench or something - I don't recall). The victims, meanwhile, just wait for him to come back. You know, cause he's dangerous and might come back while they are outside the safety of the freely swinging ATM door and completely transparent walls (except the back wall, the one the killer's behind).

Anyway, the entire movie could not have happened, and you find yourself checking out early because they characters do something that NO ONE, and I mean, NO ONE ever does: at 2 AM on a freezing night, they park 25 yards from the ATM in the middle of an empty parking lot. Now, they could have pulled up to within 1 foot of the ATM, let their friend out and waited there. This is what EVERYONE else in the ENTIRE world would have done. Except the idiots in this movie. But, then it would have been just toooooo easy for them to escape once they saw the bad guy. So everyone at some point has to get out of the car and walk the 25 yards to the ATM. One by one, 3 people each make the same stupid decision that no one else in the ENTIRE WORLD would make. The first guy doesn't complain that his friend doesn't drive up to the ATM on a freezing cold night. Ok, maybe he's just the one stupid person that we all know. But when he has problems with his card, his friend driving the car doesn't drive up to the ATM. No, he also gets out and walks 25 yards to the ATM at 2 am in the freezing cold. A few minutes later, so does the girl. Cause, you know, she can't drive (who knows).

Anyway, a bunch of people die and no one cares. It wasn't scary and is just as dumb as it looks. Read more ›

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. Read more ›
