This movie's premise is reasonably entertaining, but Reynolds' performance, while good, doesn't demand attention, and I found myself losing interest in the middle. The shots were interesting given the very limited setting, but the box begins to feel like a pointless contrivance. It heightens the atmosphere, but the script and director spend a lot of time highlighting how annoying being trapped in a box would be instead of fleshing out their protagonist, which is ultimately a fatal error.

I felt that there where a bit too many plot holes in this movie. And the voice of the captor was pretty bad. Made me think of the documentary Reel bad Arabs.

Still a good movie in many ways, both as a political commentary (on more than just war) and as a very human drama. And the ending is very intense and good.

Buried shows that it is possible to have a great film in only one location. Ryan Reynolds gives a great performance as the desperate victim. He alone moves the plot forward. But others might be frustrated that nothing is ever shown outside the coffin.
