Review of Buried (2010) by Kingmush — 20 Mar 2011

I'll admit when I first heard of this movie and it's twist I didn't think it would work all that well. I mean a whole movie filmed inside a wooden box under ground? Sounds pretty boring and stale.

Luckily my prior views were wrong. I thought they did a great job with only having us see one scene in the box. It gave us a sense of actually feeling the main character's pain. Every triumph he got we rejoiced, every pain he endured we did as well. It was a very intense and emotionally draining movie and I applaud the creators for making a movie that can do that.

My only real problem was the ending. I felt that the creators did the ending the way they did in order to spite us and for that I felt it was rushed and not thought through all the way. But other than that it was a solid movie.
