Buried

Ryan Reynolds, stuck in a box, for two hours. I know that the movie does not sound very good but it is completly intense. Reynolds play Paul Conroy, a truck driver who gets buried alive with just a few items. He is the only one in the movie so the real question is if he can pull off a one man show, which I have decided he totally can. He created his character to show the emotion well even though it was mostly just anger. The few items he is stuck with is a flash light that turns red, a zippo lighter, two glow sticks, a cantine filled with alcohol (because that's what everyone buried needs), his medication for anxiety (because the kidnappers cared about him), and a cell phone that seemed to never go dead with just two bars. I am still confused of how he got service underground, but maybe the foreign cell phones are just better.
With a race against the clock he must find someone to help him, but after he calls his wife 24 times who doesnt seem to ever answer her phone, and get out. I guess he never tried to break the wood and crawl out like they did Kill Bill, because thats what I would do.

My vote: rent it. Decide for yourself.
