buried (2010) - rodrigo cortez




This was a recommendation from the FPO, as she had received it from her film club, and thought l might enjoy it. I therefore perused it at work last night, and l must admit, it was pretty impressively done. Ryan Reynolds is the only actor shown, as he is the eponymous person in the box. I have enjoyed similar films in the past such as Lifeboat and Phone Booth, where the action is limited to one place, but this film took it to another level. He wakes up in the box, tries to phone for help and/or negotiate with his captors, and the USA try to save him before his air runs out, or the box fills with sand. That's it. Well worth watching (and a good ending).
