Synopsis:
Buried is unlike any film you have ever seen before. Imagine waking up in the dark and realizing that you've been buried alive fore reasons unknown to you, with nothing but a lighter, a mobile phone and only 90 minutes of oxygen left. Ryan Reynolds delivers an utterly compelling performance filled with fear, frustration, emotion and even a couple of dark laughs along the way.

self indulgent dribble, immature rubbish - Buried review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
21/12/2010

Do not bother with this, you will feel cheated like I did. Ryan Reynolds was great in Party Liaison Officer, he was bright and sharp.

Pull out Ryan and get sharp again, please, what happend? It even touches on politics, a big NO NO in movies (it won't get to me faster than News!). Nothing new here (or even real, yes he would have run out of oxygen, especially with the flame/s), Immature rubbish. I only managed to sit through it because I thought something was going to happen, well it had to didn't it? But it never does, and I was tired and needed to sit down for a while. It is pitched as a 'cult film' be careful, PR people are all up to scratch on how that works.

Great film if you watch in the dark without interruption - Buried review by NP

Spoiler Alert

This film needs your full attention. Not because of dense dialogue or tricky plot, but because you need to totally immerse yourself in the tense situation.

Simple idea, skilly executed, filmed in real time.

Skillfully executed 'man in coffin buried alive' film which was made for the mobile phone age - Buried review by PV

Spoiler Alert
22/07/2022

I really enjoyed this. To make a 90 minute film which never leaves the inside of a buried coffin (albeit a big one) takes some skill. I was expecting wildlife to appear at some point - and it did!

A dark comedy for me and for anyone who has had nightmares being put on hold on the phone by companies (my record is 90 minutes with BT listening to Vivaldi's Four Seasons!!! And charged for that time too).

The phone is the star here. The call with the employer is hilarious and dark - as I found it all. It is satire really.

It is real edge of seat stuff and the ending could go any and either way until the last moment. Tense and fun.

Reminds me of famous 1988 Dutch film 'The Vanishing' (remade in English in 1993), and maybe 1970 film 'And Soon the Darkness', AND an episode of Beck - the buried alive in a coffin trope is not new.

4.5 stars rounded up.
