satangod I was reading bad reviews and it lead me to check this films rating as... a huge film fan (over 1000dvds in my collection), I love all sorts, but this was a piss poor excuse of a film!So.. the whole concept of keeping the guy isolated to make the audience feel it and pulled in, yes, good idea.. for a bit, then it just got rather dull, so much so I started to get frustrated.. How much do Films cost and make on box office? I started working out how much it would take me to recreate the movie.. the most expensive thing in the film was the guys blackberry.. Don't listen to any review that says it's good or artistic as it was a complete bag of drivel! I would rather watch ANY film than this again!! Any!

ianenderby You wake up and realize that you are trapped. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide and no way to win. Forces have conspired against you and there is nothing you can do. Alone in the dark, precious empty time ticks by as you draw your last few breaths. What has it all meant? What good have I done? Does it even matter?I imagine that we have all felt this way from time to time, and there are certainly those who would have us believe that this is the reality for many of us. Buried underground in a wooden box, we see Paul Conroy face these obstacles in an all too real way. Fully immersed by both compelling cinematography and superb sound design, we are subjected to the horrors of this claustrophobic catastrophe right along side the films only embodied character as he searches for answers and fights for his freedom.I won't say too much more about the plot or the themes, other than I believe the writer struck many a chord that resonated with Americans circa 2010 and even today.I encourage you to set aside an uninterrupted 90 minutes and watch this movie by yourself, in the dark with the best sound system you can find, whether that is a home theater or a good pair of headphones. You won't regret it.

yeah-99985 Good:Ryan Reynold's terrific performance. Claustrophobic and suspenseful. Utilizes all its limitations very well to create a good realistic story. Bad:Very limited space of story development due to its premise.

timsaunders23 *I will warn you of spoiler alerts before you read them*Paul Conway, a civilian truck driving contractor working in Iraq, wakes up to find himself in a wooden coffin with only a zippo lighter and a working cell phone.When I first read the synopsis, I thought...surely they can't sustain this for 90 minutes. I was wrong. Never once was a bored watching this movie. I thought Ryan Reynolds did a great job, although his actions at times were quite stupid, but having said that, how would I behave in the same situation?*MINOR SPOILER WARNING*At one point, a snake gets into the coffin with Paul. It looks venomous. What would you do in this situation? If it got in, it can get out. Would you just stay still (as you should be anyway) and wait for it to move on, or would you break the glow stick thingy you found, splash some of the flammable liquid on the snake, then light it ON FIRE. Already he has very little oxygen. It was frustratingly stupid. I just had to vent on that.*END SPOILER*This is very low budget by Hollywood standards. It relies on good writing, good pacing, and good suspense. Very well done movie.
