It's been a long time since I have given a movie a perfect 5-star score. "Buried" without a doubt deserves it. As the credits rolled, I simply exhaled as I had been holding my breath for what seemed like the last 5 minutes of this very intense, nerve-wracking drama. I have often liked Reynold's performances in other films. This time around he shined as he had an excellent, original script to work with. What makes this movie brilliant is that it's all told from the inside of the coffin/box, so you're in for an hour and a half of an intense claustrophobic film experience like you've never imagined. I give this film props for its originality, great acting, script, its social commentary (on sensitivity, cruelty, government bureaucracy, terrorism) and for all the drama and the emotions. Just don't forget to breathe.

Why did I even freaking watch this? What a waste of time. Everything is blown out of proportion. The lead actor (Klein) looks like a dufus rather than a hero (every other character has to literally spell out for him that the owners are killing players on purpose). Also, this is not a remake. In fact, I'm not going to continue and just tell you to skip this (watch the classic 1975 version instead), unless you want a shot of Rebecca Romijn's breasts or a great tutorial on how NOT to do an action film.
