don't believe the hype

Rating: 3/10 (17 January 2011)

this movie is terrible.if you want to see a movie that manages to make a dull situation exciting then go watch "Buried". this is a waste of money and time.i am not talking about the experience that this person had in real life but about the the movie that resulted from it. there is absolutely no suspense.the boring flashbacks are pointless because they never give us a feel for who we are dealing with and at no stage does the movie manage to create a true feeling of sympathy for the main protagonist.no emotions come up and the main character seems cold.you never get the feeling that he is afraid or longing for his family and loved ones or that he even has the will to really survive. on top of that the flashbacks are confusing and do nothing to further the plot in any way. the cinematography and soundtrack were the only thing special about this movie and i still feel that it was used way too much to distract from the dullness of the story.merely the last 5min created any kind of excitement in this more than sub par movie. i had high hopes and expectations for this flick but it was a major let down. maybe if you get really high before watching it you can enjoy this.but if u don't smoke up like me you are out of luck
