Movie Review : Buried (2010)





Just from reading the title maybe you already knew what kind of movie is this. Yes it's about a man how trapped in some small place. Kinda reminded me with Colin Farrell's 'Phone booth', but if in 'Phone booth' the main character taking hostage in a phone booth while talking with the kidnapper and he did it because to give lesson to colin farrell. In 'Buried' who played by Ryan Reynolds, he got kindapped and buried in coffin somewhere in the desert with only companied by one blackberry (does it has to be blackberry anyway?), a lighter, a flash light, two glow in the dark stick and a snake! what a lovely company from that animal. 
Watching this movie for almost one and a half hour does not boring to me and it's kinda intense. You should know that from the beginning through the end you will only see one face, which is Ryan Reynolds face nad some voices over the telephone. Thank god he have good looking face and convencing acting so it could make us believe that he's really desperate, frustrated and slowly become hopeless. I like the way Rodrigo Cortés, the director, taking angle and work the camera so we can see how small the coffin is and try not to keep us bored eventhough the setting and the actor only one in there.


overall im gonna give this movie : 3.5 star out of 5, because the acting and the story plus the suprising ending (spoiler much)
