Buried

tony says:
in terms of movies that only take place in a coffin.. this one was by far the best
Alex says:
but I saw it before, when Tarantino did it in Kill Bill and perfected in CSI:Vegas
Alex says:
those two had more tension and intensity than the entire Buried film
tony says:
true
tony says:
but the concept was still intriguing
tony says:
and i always like ryan reynolds
tony says:
that being said it still didnt work for me
Alex says:
Reynolds is the man, no doubt, but this shouldn't have been a film...its like some student project or an acting show case...its not a movie!
tony says:
gonna do a spoiler alert here so dont read on if you're interested in this film
tony says:
but it was like the road
tony says:
you see the character have struggles after struggles
tony says:
only to die at the end
tony says:
i know it's cliched to have a happy ending
tony says:
but sometimes it does work.. and it's needed or the audience just feels they've invested an hour and a half for nothing
Alex says:
they're charging regular admission to watch some guy in a box for an hour...I can see that and more when I go see David Blaine hang upside down and levitate
tony says:
no kidding..
tony says:
i mean whats the difference between the start of the movie and the end of the movie?
tony says:
nothing
tony says:
he was in trouble.. and then he is in trouble.. and then he died
Alex says:
not buying it, I want at least more location shoots and more actors on screen if I'm paying, I felt like I got cheated
tony says:
im ok with that
tony says:
i just think it wasnt very good
tony says:
i can watch one guy on screen thats fine tho
tony says:
like i said the concept WAS intriguing
tony says:
but they couldnt make it work
Alex says:
plus technically he woulda died long ago...plus no cell phone reception, pressure, air, yadda yadda
tony says:
yeah thats true
tony says:
lets bury this review then
Alex says:
aha...no
tony says:
im gonna give it a 7/10 for concept and attempt
tony says:
plus ryan reynolds is a badass
Alex says:
5/10 it could've been Liam in the box and it still wouldn't have saved the film
