Buried (2010)
8/10
brilliant premise, delivered well
24 January 2011
What would you do, if you woke up in a box, buried in the ground?

You have a cell phone with some signal, sometimes. Some battery life. You have a lighter and glow sticks and a pencil.

You have no idea where you are, but that a kidnapper wants money for you. Who you gonna call? What you gonna do?

Considering the whole thing was shot "in the box" it was a gripping piece that really, was something different. Gripping, intense ... and required no expensive cgi, explosions and action sequences, but was better than the majority of cinema fodder being churned out.

I really enjoyed this movie ... it just goes to show what you can do with a good idea then let it run ...
