The movie seems like a half-thought-out idea.
In all honesty, I can really see why the film-makers thought that this movie would be a good idea and something that could work out well. You can really tell that this movie had some good ideas in it but things aren’t really thought out well enough and the movie is incredibly flawed, mostly due to its story.These sort of thrillers/horror movies set mostly at one location, are somewhat popular now days and this movie obviously tried to have a go at it as well and ride on the success of the genre. Nothing wrong with that, as long as the movie is good, which obviously isn’t the case with this movie.
Problem is that its concept is ridiculously flawed and not thought out properly. The movie doesn’t exactly feature, what you could consider, a tight plot. It’s build around the concept of 3 people being stuck inside an ATM because outside there is an hooded maniac, looking to kill them, as soon as they get out. Now, this is something that could had worked if things got written a bit more tight and complicated. But this is all there is to the movie really; 3 people being stuck inside a small building, with 1 guy lurking around outside. It’s really silly, once you really start thinking about it. First of all, it’s 3 versus 1 and it’s not like the guy has some sort of superpowers, or is armed to the teeth. I’m not saying that they should had taken on the guy but surely they could had ran out quite easily, the moment the guy was at the back, trying to break into the ATM. The movie is filled with moments like this, that just are plain stupid. It just far too often doesn’t make sense and because of that, there also really is no true tension in this movie.
The movie still thinks it’s being really clever at times, mostly toward its end, when the ‘twist’ comes but let me just tell you, the ending simply makes no sense at all and doesn’t explain anything. It only makes things look more flawed and ridicules and besides forced. Why do these sort of movies often feel the need to have a ‘surprise’ ending in it? Sometimes a movie is simply better off when it’s being more straight-forward and not by trying to be clever and surprise its audience.
This was an obvious low budget production, which becomes apparent through its looks but also really its acting. No, I definitely wasn’t impressed by any of the acting in this movie, which was perhaps another reason why I just wasn’t taken at all by it.
But it still wasn’t a movie I hated watching. I guess it’s too short and harmless for that. Maybe the more casual movie goer can still get some enjoyment and entertainment out of this movie, as long as they don’t spend too much time thinking about its plot. But even those people have to admit at the end that this is a far from great or effective enough movie.
Really can’t recommended it.

A below-par horror flick
ATM, David Brooks’ first feature, has everything that a first feature should have. One moderately big name actor, a moderate budget, and a storyline that is “cute” as a first attempt. ATM brings Nickelodeon’s own Josh Peck further into the adult acting world (not XXX) and shows that with a little bit more practice, Brooks might be able to make a name for himself.The film starts off cross cutting someone’s hands drawing on blueprints of the aforementioned ATM and our protagonist, David, played by Brian Geraghty, walking to work. As he continues his walk there is a different timeline (the ‘future’ for our active audiences) being spliced together as well. It has some remnants of Se7en itching to get out and the campy Christmas music doesn’t help it one bit. As the intro fades out and we see that David is a young, not very successful stockbroker of some sorts, we are introduced quickly to Josh Peck’s Corey, a cocky, shallow coworker that seems like fun.
After being coerced into sticking around for a Christmas party in the office, David eventually asks Emily, played by Alice Eve, if he can drive her home. Corey, much to my lack of surprise, decides to join. The movie then turns into what I like to call a ‘bottle movie’, where the rest of the movie, due to lack in budget and/or creativity stay in one location (see Abed from Community talking about bottle episodes and you’ll understand). David, Corey, and Emily are then terrorized by a hooded psychopath who is deciding to try to freeze them in an ATM in the height of the winter.
The lack of knowing that the characters demonstrate of why they are being terrorized mirrors the quality that Saw made so famous and it serves as a point of thought for the audience to dwell on and an argument for the characters to have throughout the night. The scares and thrills however, are no more than cheap Halloween-esque scares, loud noises, the hooded man coming from a corner, and some excess blood that they wanted so desperately to garner their R rating.
The ending, for me, was extremely disappointing and I won’t spoil it for you (god do I hate spoilers) but it was a cop-out for everyone in not digging deeper into the material they had. They could’ve gone in a certain direction and make up for the weak moments in the rest of the film but they chose to take an easy way out. Very disappointing indeed.
I think in order to truly enjoy this movie, you should watch it by yourself, at night, and don’t think too much about what you’re watching. If you give it too much thought, this movie will not take you by surprise and you will be severely disappointed.
