A new thriller with three talented actors nonetheless caught in an ineffective film that stretches to meet its running time and then ends with a final act that destroys suspension of disbelief.

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

None of it builds to anything or engenders any real suspense.

Not much about the movie makes sense, though there are occasional schlocky thrills.

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

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.

Dec 31, 2013Plenty of holes in this one. In short a stupid and ridiculous movie. Too bad, the cast is actually solid, but they are doomed to an inane plot which forces them to do the usual clichéd stupid stuff guaranteed to prolong their misery. All in all, goofy movie.Cynthia S Super Reviewer

Sep 17, 2012Interesting concept that lacks in effective storytelling, ATM is a mediocre low-budget horror film that mixes elements of Slasher film and psychological horror. The film is predictable and you know how it will turn out. The film's script is poorly written, and though it has an interested concept for a horror film, its potential is wasted due to the fact that you know how it will play out. This film had potential in being a good little horror film; unfortunately the script has too many flaws to make this film work well enough to really entertain the viewer. Considering that the film is mediocre, there are some pretty good performances, which is a shame because the filmmaker's couldn't deliver a better plot than what was shown on-screen. The film doesn't have any real payoff, which is disappointing because it starts off well enough, and you think it's going to be a good little flick. Unfortunately the script is limited by poor writing, thus the film never really takes off. Director David Brooks can't seem to comprehend the horror medium and he uses ideas previously explored in other films to create this film. This could have been such a memorable horror yarn, but it falls short. If the filmmakers would have rewritten the script a few times, and tried to develop something more original instead of focusing on clichéd material. If you're going into this one expecting a good horror film, you'll be sadly disappointed. ATM could have turned out much better; unfortunately it's quite forgettable and doesn't deliver. This is a prime of example of a picture that wasted its potential, and will leave you wanting more.Alex r Super Reviewer
