I don't know what you've heard about this film. I don't care if someone told you it was a waste of time! After all, everyone's entitled to their opinion. But I only have one answer for those that insist it's bad: bite me! Yeah, that's right! "Buried" is one of the best movies I've ever seen!
First of all, Ryan Reynolds. I'm just so glad he's evolved past "Van Wilder" and other boring comedies! He can obviously do much better. Given the limited space he was given in the film, he did a very good job, even though his character didn't really have a "character" -he was simply a man trying to survive.
The direction of Rodrigo Cortes was more than adequate. Of course, I have no actual knowledge on directing a movie so I can't get very technical but it looked good! :P
The claustrophobic environment, the lack of light, the intense music... I think I have to say that I was fascinated.
The plot goes like this: Paul Conroy wakes up to find he's been buried alive with no way of escaping. He only has a few items in the coffin with him and one of them is a cell phone. He has to find someone to help him. Fast.
I won't let you know what happens, of course. No spoilers here. Go see the movie. And enjoy! :)
