Although I might touch on a few details appearing in the film, I do not consider this to be a spoiler, as there is not much to spoil really! The film is about a (stupid) guy in a coffin with a Zippo, a Mobile and some Lights... As I want to spare you with the sudden appearance of a death-bringing snake and calls to people that seem to have decided to prank him, this is all you have to know! One and a half hours of terrible dialogs and a picturing of someone dying in a wooden box. Whether this takes place in Afghanistan or elsewhere really does not matter at all... Definitely not worth filming OR watching!

With all the raves about this movie before its release, I KNEW it would be good and have sat waiting on pins and needles for it to reach my town. Now that it's here and I've seen it, I have never been so disappointed in a movie in my life! Suspense only works when there's rescue and a pay-off! Hitchcock-like in its opening music and spacing of tension,"Buried" ends up as pointless as a mother who gives birth to a baby and then buries it in the back yard to all loss to her, where she and everyone around listens insensitively to it scream for a rescue, only to berate it for crying in distress and insisting it needs to calm down and change its attitude--baby whose loss of life she's paying for! Thirty years later, baby buried in its hole in the ground where Mama has left it is still crying to everyone in hearing distance to be saved--with no savior in sight and having been accused of deserving its abuse and neglect by everyone in a life just thrown away for no point! Atypical of anyone who has no helper that has been overtaken by an enemy and left good as dead, Ryan's character of Paul Conroy sufficiently wastes the first THIRTY minutes of the movie trying to use the cell phone he was left with to get someone in the world to hear and understand that his truck had been seized and him buried in a coffin somewhere he couldn't pinpoint underground--all the frustration of answering machines and no one home, hold calls, hangups, the fight with his what--mother- or sister-in law as he tried to learn his wife's whereabouts, disconnects and reconnects...before inevitable contact by the embezzler that had buried him with the phone on the heels of a hostage negotiator determined to find him out of thin air--literally--I should have known then: all that suspense--just for the "call" to be dropped at the end with no further reconnect.... And after his 'indecent' "Proposal" of a movie with Sandra Bullock last year, I'd thought Reynolds had come into his own with this one--but it looks like it just got buried in its dirt! Waste your time watching it and you're going to be the same--buried in a hole of a cemetery plot-line with no way to dig yourself out! I can't understand how it is that so many reviewers here have found it divine! Thus, successfully murdered by my hour and a half on this turkey of a before-Thanksgiving Dinner Cortés has served me for nothing, I'm going to get the life and blood pumping back into me by feasting on a reviewing of Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz' high octane summer comedy romance suspense adventure thrill-ride "Knight And Day." A REAL Thanksgiving for THAT happy meal...!

Buried: in which Ryan Reynolds is en-tombed underground in a coffin like structure with only a cell phone and a lighter for company spending 90 minutes crying out for help to anyone who will listen. Director Rodrigo Cortes keeps the drama entirely inside this average-sized coffin-like box but as anyone who watched Hitchcock play with space and tension in Rope and Lifeboat will know how inventive one has to be with limited room, Cortes used his skill to make this experiment work brilliantly with some interesting lighting effects to keep it visually interesting. After watching this movie I was left physically trembling. This was partly because the final five minutes are about as nail-biting as five minutes of film can possibly be, but mostly because of the tremendous adoration I have for the filmmakers who have achieved so much with so little. Whoever says you need to think outside the box should think again, because Buried is nothing short of a minimalist masterpiece. bravo for a very brave ending.

My English is questionable, but if you after this movie READ the so called MASTERPIECE movie statements and mainly on the message board. Then it gets pretty clear what kind of IQ those people posses to call this a masterpiece. Long story short, man gets taken hostage and buried alive, he has a cellphone. And then the man in that coffin gets to hear he was already FIRED (to cover there asses) then in the end he dies very realistically. That is according to the "this is a masterpiece" mediocre reviewers. Here some FACTS Mr realistic.. Say for argument sake he is buried 6ft under the ground (average size coffin). A quick calculation would come to a running out of air in about an hour and 18 minutes. And this is when he breaths NORMALLY. The movie is already to long for that not to mention the how he is full of fear (using up more air) make it 1 hour and he would be going to the other world and that is not fiction. However the ending is that he dies and end of the movie. He is a American, the hajid has a totally wrong VOICE to be one. Then his so called angel (the man who talks him through it) sounds nothing like a American (UK by the tone of it) nothing wrong there. I mean I've been even fast forwarding this movie it was that BORING. And that badly done, then the snake that comes into the coffin. HE LITS A FIRE TO CHASE IT AWAY...so the air would run out in 45min already. I mean realistic? Really some of you guys should do some more research. Nobody needs a SUPER IQ these says to simply type a few things on the WWW. OK but i do respect both camps, some like it some hate it. To me this is properly the worst piece of movie-making i have so far seen in this year. Buried flopped as i heard some were here lost 2 million or something. WELL THATS BECAUSE ITS NOT A GOOD MOVIE! SORRY FANBOYS... I know will get critics over me now, and properly many 0 people find this review not helping them. That is OK I'm glad i set my standards higher concerning movie-making then them. Do enjoy, but you have be warned you will be utterly bored by it. And the so called "realism" well see what i write do the math. Its not that hard to defeat that comment of the fans. Just another overrated "masterpiece" by groupies here on IMDb.

I was quite excited for having the opportunity of seeing this film at Sundance yesterday. Luckily for me I don't get claustrophobic so I wasn't deterred from seeing the film like some I've spoken to. Initially I was concerned at first as to how a film could remain interesting when its complete focus was on one character trapped inside of a box, but with multiple twists and turns throughout, I was amazed at how engaged I was in the film and found myself quite literally sitting on the edge of my seat. The movie centers on Paul, a driver who has been hired to distribute supplies and such to different areas of Iraq. The film begins with Paul waking up to find himself trapped inside of a coffin. While it is quite believable that finding yourself buried alive would cause any person to begin hyperventilating, it does get annoying rather quickly because Paul's heavy breathing and a black screen is all the audience gets to experience for the first five minutes of the film. Once the movie kicks into gear it's quite amazing how quickly you feel your heart pounding. No truer words were ever uttered as director Rodrigo Cortes introduced the film by stating "take a deep breath because it will be the last one you take before the film ends."
