I love this movie so much

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Quiet Muffin
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Buried is a different type of horror movie - it's more of a drama. It is impressive that Ryan Reynolds can carry the entire film practically all by himself and I was amazed about how a movie can spend 90 minutes inside a coffin and stay interesting, visually. However, the final act wasn't satisfying for me. I don't regret watching Buried, but I probably won't watch it again.

Posing to be more realistic than the buried scene from Kill Bill but in reality being even worse. Damn this movie pissed me off... there's no logic behind it and no reasonable person should watch it.

Now now, I know what you are thinking. "How can a film set entirely in a small box be exciting?". To which I would've agreed with you, yet somehow director Rodrigo Cortés electrified me with his solid directing style. To have a camera freely moving with a person inside such a compact space is an achievement in itself. The story is about truck driver Paul Conroy who wakes up gagged, buried and running out of oxygen. He is forced to figure out how he got there where his survival skills are put to the ultimate test. What I admired was the balance of fear, thrills and dark comedy. In a situational film where character development is pushed aside, it is imperative that our lead character is likeable so that it is worth investing the time. They could be running through fire, swimming in shark infested waters or even drifting endlessly in space, if we can't relate to the character on an emotional level then there is no point. At all. After a slight rushed start, I can say this film worked. All thanks to Ryan Reynolds with one of his best performances by far. Multiple layers to his character that were well expressed. Laughing in times of crisis, angry in times of frustration and emotional in times of solace. He made Paul Conroy human. I sympathised with him and the situation he was in. Forget about the solitude of being in a tiny dark coffin, this film teaches you not how to survive in circumstances like this...no no. It teaches you how absolutely infuriating being put on hold is. My word it is the worst! So yes, I felt Conroy's rage and would've reacted the same way. There were times where the story dragged but it was bound to happen. Creating a 95 minute story in one small location is an achievement. Cortés' direction was so tight! He impressively captures the feeling of claustrophobia using low lighting and consistent shots of the walls, highlighting the sense of being trapped. The musical score didn't work for me, would've preferred silence. But a damn decent thriller with an outstanding performance.

The hero is afraid of death. I used to be so .How could I get my euthanasia drugs like Cyclone B? My life resembles a meteor, short-last and spangled. Right here,right now, I recall the death poems of Japanese samurais. Actually ,I benefit a lot from Bushido. It teaches me how to die without fear. Life is like a lucid dream.
