The studios released the Ryan Reynolds branded,thriller flick named "Buried" into movie theaters a few months ago. I finally checked it out last night,and totally agree with the top movie critics' positive assessment of the film.
It delivered a very creative storyline with lots of drama. Unfortunately, I think I may have developed a slight case of claustrophobia when watching it and imagining if I was buried in a coffin. The flick stars: Ryan Reynolds and Jose Maria Yazpik.
The film revolved around Paul Conroy who is a truck driver over in Iraq,and wakes up to find himself buried alive inside of a wooden coffin,tied up with a cigarette lighter,cell phone,some glow lights,knife,and a flickering flash light. However,he finds out about all these tools as the movie rolls along.
He starts panicking. As the film continues, he's able to untie himself,get the lighter,and calls every damn body he knows. After getting a couple of answering machines and leaving a few messages, he's eventually connected with a hostage specialist in Iraq who is working frantically to try and find him.
Paul gets a couple of calls from his kidnappers. They demand $5 million dollars from the embassy for them to release him. Unfortunately,a number of bombing events make it more difficult for the hostage specialist to find him,and the movie eventually ends with a shocking conclusion.
The movie was excellent. It was about an hour and 20 minutes of just Ryan's character trapped in a wooden coffin. However,it still managed to deliver some "edge of your seat" scenes. There were a few incidents that caused other things to enter the coffin with him that weren't good for his life,and it was interesting to see what he came up with to get out of those situations with his very scarce resources.
The movie damn near gave me claustrophobia by just watching it because these movies are really great at bringing someone into the world of the film,and it was really hard to imagine being trapped in a coffin. It had me thinking about what would I do if that ever happened to me. It was a very interesting and unique movie. I gave it a grade A for the uniqueness,alone.
