Buried

This is the film with Ryan Reynolds that you should not see if you're claustrophobic.

But if you aren't, it is an amazing movie.

The whole thing takes place in a coffin. Ryan wakes up buried in a coffin, and has in his possession a knife, a mobile phone and several dodgy light sources.

Ryan makes various phone calls to the FBI, his wife, 911 and others. It makes you see the absurdity of someone telling you to calm down when sand is pouring in your coffin or putting you on hold.

The movie is gripping and the tension is palpable. My heart started racing in one or two places.

Excellent movie A+ and a thumbs up for innovative filmmaking.
