Sexylocher Masterful Movie

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

mmmondelli This movie is terrible from beginning to end. Terrible plot. Terrible acting. Terrible ending. Just terrible.If I wasn't playing online poker, cleaning my house, and throwing my dog the ball so she could go swimming in the pool I would have never made it to the end. And boy does the end not let you down. It's so bad, it's not even in that "so bad it's good". It's just plain bad. Go watch paint dry, it's more entertaining.

Guj This isn't going to be a long review, and its hardly about the movie but the only reason im writing it is because people are giving this movie a 1/10, which just is not right. I feel a 1/10 means it is the worst movie imaginable, that there is no plot, there is no acting, the camera is blurry, the sound is trashy.. EVERYTHING. it has got to be the WORST movie you have ever seen in your lifethe worst movies I've ever rated are Red Dawn at 1 and Happening at 2/10 (in light of this review i might even change those two.. might). I gave ATM 5/10. better than movies at 4/10, not as good as movies at 6/10, simple. You cant honestly say this is worst than a movie at 2/10!! The people that rate this 1/10 are the people who either rate a movie 1/10 or 10/10 because they either love it to death, or think its the worst garbage ever.People who're saying "oh god did this movie makes me angry", its a suspenseful thriller, its supposed to make you angry you idiot! "oh there's so many plot holes" yeah, the director DOESN'T CARE, hes done his job, hes made the producers happy as they got your dumb ass to the theatre. "i cant believe this movie even had a screenplay" yeah, the writers don't care because the director doesn't care because the producers don't care. do you get it?this movie isn't made for winning Oscars, its made for making money, and guess what... they did that. can only find foreign theatre stats at £1m, but theatre AND bluray AND TV WORLDWIDE for the next say 15 years, easily!people who're saying "but who is the killer and why's he killing them", i bet they didn't say that about Phone Booth.. why because that guy's got a code and this guy doesn't? so what, sometimes killers kill for no reason other than because they can, you're just upset that you fell for it and payed money to see it.is it suspenseful, yes it is. does it make you angry, oh yes it does. could the actor have put the actress on his shoulders first before trying anything else because shes lighter and they can get to the sprinkler, definitely. is it stupid that the actress was OK with staying in the ATM booth to get killed, yes. did i laugh at the way she died, immeasurably! is the acting terrible, eh I've seen worse. are there plot holes, erm duh yes which horror thriller doesn't have them. are the people rating and reviewing 1/10 because they're salty asses who payed money to see this in the theatre, yes. did this movie reach its target audience and hit its KPI's, you betchya. is the movie studio a business which did its job, again yes. would i recommenced this movie, never. are there better movies to watch, absolutely.

kaianmattmckay To be fair, I saw this after a season of Hannibal, so "ATM" was up against some fairly stiff competition, which it met flaccidly, at best.I've seen that this was apparently made on a $3m budget (and it shows), so perhaps my criticism should take that into account. Nonetheless, I kept thinking this film was a comedy-satire and waiting for the signs of that genre, to no avail.The plot is simplistic bordering on simple-minded, with any semblance of suspense barely managing to limp along in the background. Guys, it's possible to squeeze cheap thrills out of a shoe-string budget, as the Halloween and Friday the 13th franchises have shown. The dialogue is so poor that at several points I had the impression the actors (I use the term loosely) were ad-libbing, and the characters they portray are correspondingly flat, unsympathetic and forgettable, such that you find yourself hoping that the bad guy hurries up and dispatches them all with his crowbar, to put the viewers out of their misery.The cinematography is minimalist. At least, I assume that was the desired effect. It actually just looks amateurish and static, as though the camera crew is frozen to the spot by the same sub-zero temperatures they contrive to have us believe the characters are suffering.Perhaps if the producers understood suspension of disbelief as a courtesy the viewer extends to them, and not as an infinitely exploitable resource that compensates for an offering that can only be described as anemic, then I'd be inclined to be more lenient. As it stands, "ATM" is trite, poorly done by everyone, and ultimately either disappointing or insulting, depending on how low your standards are.

TheScaryMovieGirl I went into this movie with an open mind. After all, the premise seemed so delightfully old-school, and as a fan of the old slashers, I was just glad to get a break from all of the possession movies (not that all of them are bad).Wow. I'm not even entirely sure where they were trying to go with this. I would love to give some sort of a small plot summary, but it's difficult to do so when it's this convoluted, slow-paced, and dull. I really did try to find some excuse to like this movie, but it wouldn't let me.There are plenty of reviews here that can give you 1,000 reasons not to watch ATM, but I'm here to tell the people like me who love the old masked slashers and are hoping to find some glimmer of suspense or character development, don't. They would have been better off going over the top and trying to make this movie campy, but they didn't do that either. They just left us sitting in an ATM with a couple of people that have zero chemistry with each other, waiting for the credits to start rolling. Don't worry, if you find yourself halfway through it and you think to yourself, "I guess I'll just see how it ends. I can make it another 45 minutes." Please just save yourself some trouble and read the synopsis. The ending will only lead to frustration, confusion, and disappointment.
