As Good As It Gets
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!
Well, this was an absolute waste of time. Films don't come more claustrophobic than this. This is the perfect way to showcase an actor's talent. Sadly it all leads to nothing. 95 minutes of waiting in anticipation for nothing. The film's budget apparently was $2 million. What for? The entire movie is about a guy in a coffin - literally! It just wasn't interesting enough to justify a full-length film. I don't recommend this to anyone. The ending will leave you rather upset anyway.
Buried is hard to watch, but equally hard to look away from. It does a fair enough job of working around a confined space, given how difficult cutting to exactly the same location is without making it look like an amateurish jumpcut. But what it does incredibly well is engage you on a twisting, turning, baiting and switching ride that won't ever quite let you off. A very interesting film.
I understand the direction they were going with but it felt that there was no creativity or interesting sense to call this movie enjoyable. The acting was good however some of the logic in the scenes didn't add up. Example: one scene he attempts to reach the bag but it is too far away however in another scene, there is a snake and he is able to contain himself within half of the coffin. I get that they are trying to add suspense but it just leaves more unanswered questions. I enjoy survival movies but the only feature this movie used was a phone, an unneeded lighter and a very underwhelming ending
