Review of Buried (2010) by Brad S — 19 Mar 2012

This is a really fascinating film! The entire film is just Ryan Reynolds in a coffin, which left me skeptical that it would be able to fully hold my attention for the entire film, but it did. Reynolds play a truck driver in Iraq who is kidnapped and buried alive to be held for a ransom. He has a 2hr timeline to convince the government to pay his ransom. Armed with only a cell phone, lighter and pencil...he tries to get himself out of the desperate situation.

The story moves along very well and Reynolds gives a great performance...you almost feel that you are in the coffin. The film is original and a risk taker...I highly recommend you see it so hopefully we can get more movies like this. Highly recommended!
