Goofs

The temp outside is supposed to be sub zero Fahrenheit. Yet the breath of the characters is only barely visible in one shot. Temps that cold would cause breath to be VERY VISIBLE the entire night.

Quotes

Corey Thompson: Go talk to her.
David Hargrove: I can't.
Corey Thompson: Why can't you?
David Hargrove: Because I left my balls at home.
Corey Thompson: No, not again.
David Hargrove: Yep. Left 'em right there on the dresser.
Corey Thompson: Right next to your nightgown?
David Hargrove: Yeah, right next to it. In fact, it's probably covering them, keeping them warm.
Corey Thompson: That's good, like a, like a male penguin.

User Reviews

You know..

...in all honesty, ATM had a small chance to be modern day thriller. The actors are decent. They can certainly get into character and that's were it all ends. All logic and common sense goes out the window from the point they reach the ATM, and park 100 damn feet from it. LOL. The thought process these 3 main characters go through trying to escape one man, leads me to believe Poppa Smurf could have held them hostage at Disneyland. Successfully. Forever.

Everything the ATM "stalker villain" does makes sense, because the 3 captives simply have zero.

Watch this flick if you're a fan of "b" movies, or simply bored and want to pick it apart and cringe and a very bad script. Again, I think the writers and directors could have had something, if only they put in a bit more thought. Great idea, horrible execution.
