Buried

i started watching this movie a while ago and got like a 3rd way through it and got bored with it. Months later, today actually i figured ill give it a shot and finish it. It was better than i have expected

Great movie. One of Ryan Reynolds best performance so far. And i did not expect that ending.

Buried by Ryan Reynolds:

A powerful and haunting film that immerses you in the nightmare of being buried alive, leaving you gasping for air and clinging to the edge of your seat. With a masterful performance by Reynolds, this movie takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions that will grip you from start to finish. Be warned, this film will leave an indelible mark on your psyche, illuminating the very nature of fear and the fragility of life itself.

i felt depressed after watching this fuckin' movie, so thank you Ryan.

Some plotholes, but a pretty good movie. And call it boring or brave, but I like the fact they made the movie with just one very restricted location.

OMG. this movie is insane!

'Buried' mostly delivers, the ending is what makes me definitively say that I had a positive time. The film does build tension nicely, it feels claustrophobic without a doubt. It is also paced competently, impressively so given its one location setting (credit to Ryan Reynolds).

The only criticism I hold is that the film makes the lead character kinda unlikeable early on, which really shouldn't be the case given it ought to be a tap-in to make you care for Paul Conroy given the plot's nature. To me, in moments, he came across more dick-y than panicked.

That kinda led me down the garden path in terms of predicting how it was going to all end, one on my (half-baked) theories was that it was going to head in a 'Butterfly on a Wheel'-esque (great movie, fwiw) direction. It didn't, of course, but the unpredictability was satisfying.

I'm perhaps being harsh or was overanalysing with the unlikability factor. Either way, it doesn't really matter all that much because I still think of this in a good way post-watch. Well worth seeing.

It's Ryan Reynolds in a box for 90 minutes. What more do you need? Worst thing is [spoiler] he doesn't make it out :( [/spoiler].

Pretty good, but sometimes boring. I started the movie years ago, but never finished, so I gave it another shot when I came across it. Didn't hate it but didn't love it either.

_Buried_ is a unique movie with a thrilling plot. While the concept may seem far-fetched, the execution is done in a way that makes it somewhat believable. However, there are some aspects that are unrealistic, and you'll notice them if you watch the film closely. The movie's twist ending is simply crazy and unexpected, and the movie's confined setting only adds to the tension and suspense.
