Buried

I've wanted to watch this movie for quite some time now.  I've heard mixed reviews already but it had a big name star so I figured it was worth my time.  However, upon watching the movie I was somewhat dissapointed.  It was clever to film the entire movie in a coffin.  It really shows the acters perspective the entire time.



The Goods - It was intense.  In all honesty, within the first 10 minutes of the movie I felt uncomfortable and trapped similar to Ryan Reynold's character.  And I mean that in a good way.  I almost turned it off because it was that rough.  I could picture myself in the situation and it was not pretty.  I kept wondering the entire time if he was going to make it out or not which is what the movie wants.  The camera work was great considering how limited of views you can have trapped in a box.

The Bads - You can picture yourself in that situation, but it's hard to truly imagine what you would do if you were him.  Honestly, I thought the conversations he had throughout his time in the box should have gone a different way.  I'm not sure I would have purposly argued and yelled at people if I knew my life was at stake.

Overall - 5 out of 10.
