BURIED

*Reviewers note: I personally was not a big fan of this film, in fact I didn't particularly like it all, but with that being said, I believe that Buried accomplished exactly what the director wanted it to... frustration.  I try to review all films objectively, therefore, I will attempt to do the same with this one, it's just a bit harder.

Buried is the epitome of claustrophobia and frustration.  As the film progresses you only want one thing: fresh air.  Ryan Reynolds accomplishes what a lot of actors could never do, keep you interested for an hour and a half by himself.  The acting, which consists of only one character, is very good.  Reynolds does such a good job that you literally feel as though you are buried in the box as well, and it's a very uncomfortable feeling.  I don't think I've ever been more uneasy while watching a movie.

Although I didn't really like Buried, I still have to give it 7 out of 10 stars because I am convinced that it accomplished exactly what Rodrigo Cortes hoped it would and Ryan Reynolds did a great job.  I don't imagine that very many viewers truly enjoy Buried, and I think that's exactly what Cortes had in mind.  I know it sounds crazy, but the film is worth one viewing just so you can experience the intense feeling of claustrophobia and frustration.

Watch Buried just one time... you'll hate it.
