Buried

A man wakes up to find himself buried alive. Equipped with only a cell phone, a lighter and a few other trinkets, he has to find a way out while discovering why he‘s been put in his horrifying position. The movie never strays away from the coffin. It’s a risky move on the filmmakers’ part, but one that ultimately pays off well. Aggravation, frustration and claustrophobia are expressed flawlessly through inventive camera work, brilliant lighting and Reynolds’ fantastic performance. However, the film’s let down by some silly “action” scenes and an ending that ditches you like a one night stand.
