ATM [2012]

If David Brooks' suspense/thriller ATM set out to frustrate then it succeeded with flying colors.
Screenwriter Chris Sparling did a great job at constantly raising the suspense in a single setting script with Buried, however this time around it just seems way too far-fetched and really just plain annoying with the spinelessness of the 3 main characters.  It might have worked had it been just a bit more crafty with the suspense and thrills but instead comes off as dull, vapid and contrived.
