This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 100% SPOILER ALERT. I've no problem with claustrophobia, so that's not why this movie sucked. Reynolds is quite good tho', and even squeezed out a laugh or two. But the whole plot is a waste of all the things a buried man needs: Oxygen, battery power, time and a literal waste of breath. Burn up your oxygen with seemingly eternal flame of your lighter(best advertisement ever for Zippo) - don't just rig it so the flint wheel spark gives you a momentary flash. Waste time, battery and breath talking to an HR guy who's slowly firing your ass, just hang up so you can get calls and make videos, etc. Don't switch off the battery sucking vibrator as they told you to do either. ABOVE ALL don't try to figure a way out of there. As they said in the film, having a phone signal means it's a shallow grave and they left him a knife (which he should've found in an immediate search of his space). So, try to lever an overhead board down and try to snap it near your right shoulder, aided by the weight of the earth above;' allow a limited flow of sand to enter and push it down your body towards your feet, stomping it in the far end. Then, perhaps using a portion of the broken board, dig upwards to air. You probably have about 18 squ. ft' of vertical space in the coffin, so plenty of room to take a small section of vertical soil before breaking into air. Also, the searchers could've honked their horns since they thought they were so close: "Can you hear me now??". I know the guys upset, but I figured out a way to get a car off my chest that would have suffocated me in about 15 mins; imminent death does wonders to concentrate the mind, believe me.… Expand

This is the type of movie I would think of in my head at 2am and then wake up the next morning and realise how bad it would be.

Nothing makes sense in that movie and all is overly exaggerated to make up ridiculous situations. I did not even feel any emotion when he was talking to his wife, his mom... it smelled fake all the way. Or is it that I have just watched the great "127 hours" one week ago and I am still so invigorated from seeing it ! Similar type of movie but more intense. No need to make up fake discussions and extra situations (like a snake) to create intensity and emotions.… Expand

The entire movie seems to have a predictable plot along with boring events happening, all of it being shot from in the box. To give my full feel of this movie, let me put it this way: probably the most expensive thing was Ryan Reynolds - half of the budget of the movie going to paying him for being in it. Otherwise, a box and other random items couldn't have been expensive, and weren't even used the best. I wouldn't ever watch this movie again.… Expand

I can't believe there's not a flood of hate for this movie! Read the critic reviews and pay attention to the details: "Ninety minutes of being buried alive with Ryan Reynolds" "Rodrigo Cortes keeps the action bound to the box, limiting his lighting to naturalistic approximations, so that much of Reynolds's performance consists of him grunting and heaving in the dark." "Your enjoyment - if that's the right word - of Buried will hinge on two things: Your ability to tolerate situations in which characters are confined to very tight spaces, and your willingness to be emotionally manipulated in the cheapest way imaginable." Bottom line: the movie is 90 minutes of staring at a dimly lit Ryan Reynolds as he grunts and makes pitiful attempts at creating drama and suspense. Failing so epicly, I felt morally obligated to make an account on this site. If you value your time or your brain cells, take a PASS on this movie!!!… Expand
