Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
RipDelight
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

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.

Gave it 2 stars bacause I somehow went against my instinct to turn it off after 2 minutes and then it held me. It had some hope of becoming good so I kept watching. There never was a positive turn. All bad all the time and mostly unrealistic. I kept saying "that would never happen" or "they wouldn't have said or done that". There has to be SOME reality- not a figment of some twisted imagination right to the end. Total waste of time - wish I trusted my instinct. Movies are to be entertained, not disturbed. And it's not 'art'. It's just amateurish crap.

Buried is hard to watch, but equally hard to look away from. It does a fair enough job of working around a confined space, given how difficult cutting to exactly the same location is without making it look like an amateurish jumpcut. But what it does incredibly well is engage you on a twisting, turning, baiting and switching ride that won't ever quite let you off. A very interesting film.

*I will warn you of spoiler alerts before you read them*Paul Conway, a civilian truck driving contractor working in Iraq, wakes up to find himself in a wooden coffin with only a zippo lighter and a working cell phone.When I first read the synopsis, I thought...surely they can't sustain this for 90 minutes. I was wrong. Never once was a bored watching this movie. I thought Ryan Reynolds did a great job, although his actions at times were quite stupid, but having said that, how would I behave in the same situation?*MINOR SPOILER WARNING*At one point, a snake gets into the coffin with Paul. It looks venomous. What would you do in this situation? If it got in, it can get out. Would you just stay still (as you should be anyway) and wait for it to move on, or would you break the glow stick thingy you found, splash some of the flammable liquid on the snake, then light it ON FIRE. Already he has very little oxygen. It was frustratingly stupid. I just had to vent on that.*END SPOILER*This is very low budget by Hollywood standards. It relies on good writing, good pacing, and good suspense. Very well done movie.
