    Must see in theater for full effect

    by birac

    Extremely well done. Sitting through this movie-totally kept inside the coffin,no breaks-was a visceral experience. I was out of breath,panicking,felt my heart racing,feeling moments of hope and relief-all right along with Reynolds. This actor,camera work and score make this film a work of art.

    Intense One-Man Show

    Buried is a movie unlike any other. It is 1 hour and 40 minutes of Ryan Reynolds trying to desperately get out of a wooden coffin, buried somewhere in Iraq, at a destination where he doesn't know where he is, and all he has is a zippo lighter, cell phone (which is in the Iraq language), glow sticks, and a poor flashlight. The movie is very intense, especially when he finds a snake slivering inside the coffin. The ending was the most intense and dramatic part. After the final moment, the screen goes silent and the credits roll. I was left breathless at this, I had to sit there for a couple of seconds to really absorb what just happened. It gave me chills down my spine. What an excellent movie.

    Breath of fresh air.... so to speak

    Finally, a movie with a totally unique concept! It was edge of your seat action from beginning to end, kept you fully focused and entertained throughout, and kept you guessing up until the credits! I LOVED this movie! I was a little worried about an entire movie about a guy trapped in a box underground, but a lot can happen to you underground apparently! I would love to see more movies take a simplistic idea and turn it into genius as I believe Buried has done!

    Do not go through life without seeing this movie first!

    by yoladdy

    I cannot stress enough how vital it is to see this movie. It takes SERIOUS SKILL to keep an audience entertained for 90 minutes in one (TINY) spot. Cortés pulled this off masterfully! He builds up the suspense the entire movie until dishing out the final blow at the end. I was squirming in my seat the whole movie, feeling totally uncomfortable, and I LOVED IT! This movie provokes emotion like none others do. Near the end I found myself in Paul Conroy's situation, running out of breath, shaking. Please, do yourself a favour and DO NOT miss this movie. Never before have I really truly meant "MUST GO!"

    The movie is Ryan Reynolds in a box. That's it. He's the only character. So it gets old. It has to. One location. One actor. For 90 straight minutes. Half of that is Ryan Reynolds breathing heavy and screaming. I don't understand what everyone is all impressed about the cinematic aspects for. I thought it was extremely amateurish. I wasn't impressed. I liked the overall quasi-political message but definitely wasn't worth the money.

    Have to put in another good review for this after seeing 127 hours

    Hours was great,don't get me wrong...but for all the positive feedback it is receiving,I don't understand what happened to Buried. This was incredible,especially for a literally one man film. Reynolds awed me with his skill,and is emotionally challenging. Both movies are great.Just wish Buried was getting more credit. Probably the 'true story' thing.What do you think?
