Buried (2010)
Years ago, if you were to make a list of comedic actors that could carry a serious drama all by themselves, Ryan Reynolds wouldn’t make that list. Now, I think there’s nothing he can’t do.
Reynolds plays a truck driver in Iraq, who finds himself buried alive in a coffin, with no idea why. There are no cutaways, no action outside of what happens inside the box, and as you watch, you’re grow more and more claustrophobic and anxious for his fate. It’s surprising how well this film keeps your attention for over 90 minutes and the ending is everyone’s worst nightmare.
