Rotten
This ATM-set horror film fails to dispense sufficient thrills.

What should be a routine transaction turns into a desperate struggle for survival when an unknown man appears outside the vestibule.

None of it builds to anything or engenders any real suspense.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Rotten
Not much about the movie makes sense, though there are occasional schlocky thrills.
Kyle Smith, New York Post

Mr. Brooks capitalizes on antiseptic, fluorescent interiors, while the score, by David Buckley, nicely accents stress points.

Rotten
Screenwriter Chris Sparling worked in confined spaces to far better effect before with the minimalist Ryan Reynolds thriller"Buried." He must have used his best ideas there.
