Buried (2010)

Buried is a tense psychological thriller. If you're claustrophobic, like me, you may find that this film will make you pretty nervous. It's a good movie, and holds your interest pretty well, considering it's 90 minutes of Ryan Reynolds trapped in a box.


Reynolds plays Paul Conroy, an American truck driver, in Iraq, who awakens after an ambush to find that he has been buried in a casket, with a cell phone, lighter, flashlight, flask, and little time before he runs out of oxygen. Conroy goes through a massive range of emotions in a short amount of time, and Reynolds does an excellent job of making this character believable.


As he uses the cell phone to contact his employer, the state department, the FBI, and his family, he also speaks with his captor, who demands $5 million dollars for his release. It's an intense race against time to see if he can be rescued before he dies at the hands of his captor, runs out of air, or room, as sand is slowly pouring into the casket.


It's definitely worth watching, especially if you like thrillers, or Ryan Reynolds.
