'Buried' Film Delivered Edge Of Your Seat Drama With Ryan Reynolds
Posted by Kay Stanford Jr Kastum at 12:27 AMLionsgate released a new Ryan Reynolds branded,mystery/thriller movie called "Buried" into theaters a couple months ago. I checked it out the other night,and I agree with the top critics' positive assessment of the movie.
In my opinion the film featured a very unique storyline with tons of drama. However, I think I caught a case of claustrophobia by watching it and imagining if I was buried alive in a coffin. It stars: Ryan Reynolds and Jose Maria Yazpik.
The movie revolved around character Paul Conroy (Reynolds) who is a truck driver over in Iraq,and wakes up to find himself buried alive in a coffin and tied up with nothing but a cigarette lighter,cell phone,a few glow lights,knife,and one flash light. He finds out about all these tools as the movie goes along.
He immediately starts getting scared. As the film rolls along, he eventually unties himself,gets the lighter,and calls every freakin body he knows. He gets a couple of answering machines and leaves a few messages. Then he finally gets connected with a hostage specialist in Iraq who is working bigtime trying to find him.
Paul eventually receives a few calls from his kidnappers,demanding $5 million dollars from the embassy for his release. Later on,a series of bombing events make it more difficult for the hostage specialist to find him,and the movie concludes with a shocking finale.
I thought the film was excellent. Even though it was about an hour and 20 minutes of just Ryan Reynolds' character trapped in a coffin,it still managed to feature some very exciting scenes. There were a few things that caused other things to enter the coffin with him that weren't good for his health,and it was cool to see what he did to get out of those situations with his very limited resources.
The movie damn near gave me claustrophobia by just watching it because these movies are really great at bringing someone into the world of the film,and it was really hard to imagine being trapped in a coffin. It had me thinking about what would I do if that ever happened to me. It was a very interesting and unique movie. I gave it a grade A for the uniqueness,alone.
