P2 is a 2007 horror film directed by Franck Khalfoun, written by Alexandre Aja, and starring Rachel Nichols and Wes Bentley.Angela is a young businesswoman stuck working late at the office on Christmas Eve. When she finally decides to head home to a family Christmas gathering, she unfortunately finds that her car won't start, even after help from Thomas, the only security guard left on duty. Thomas, who will be stuck in the building over the three-day Christmas break, invites Angela to have Christmas dinner with him; to his chagrin, she rejects his offer. With no other choice left, Angela calls a taxi, but when it arrives, she realizes the doors to the lobby are locked. Angela heads back down to the parking garage to find Thomas so that he may open the doors for her. However, once she reaches P2, the lights begin to shut off, allowing Thomas to sneak up on Angela and knock her out cold with chloroform. When Angela wakes up, she finds herself chained to a table and forced into accepting Thomas's dinner invitation.

Country Matters: Thomas, demonstrating just how insane he is, decides that the best time to use this insult is when the woman he's been terrorizing all night is walking away with his taser after cuffing him to a wrecked car that's leaking gasoline. Predictably, this is the final straw that provokes Angela into using the taser to ignite the gasoline.

Asshole Victim: Jim is painted as this by Tom, who saw him drunkenly make a very unwelcome advance at Angela during an office Christmas party. While Angela was very cold to him when he apologized for his actions earlier in the film, she tried to persuade Tom not to hurt him, not wanting him die because of her, while also considering that the man has a family.

Took a Level in Badass: Angela. After failing to call the police or escape from the parking garage, Angela is driven to knock out the security cameras with an axe, escape from a locked trunk with only a crowbar, kill Thomas's dog with said crowbar, and steal a car and end up in a game of chicken with Thomas. This isn't even counting her Playing Possum, cuffing Thomas to the car after partially blinding him and choking him out, and finally setting him on fire with gasoline and a taser when he calls her a cunt.
