BURIED

Directed by: Rodrigo Cortes
Released: 2010

my respect for ryan reynolds as an actor has increased significantly. i was happy that the entire film was him in a coffin, no flashbacks, no cutaways, nothing else. the "socio-political undertones" that i'd heard about weren't too heavy handed or forceful, which would have greatly detracted from my enjoyment. there were a few small plot holes here and there, but nothing i couldn't forgive. highly recommended. 8.5/10.
