Buried

Paul Conroy (Reynolds) is a truck driver for a company that delivers supplies to US troops in Iraq.  The convoy he was in was hit by a bomb and he survived.  He was kidnapped and placed in a coffin and buried underground.  He has a lighter, and a cellphone with him.  That's it.  He is manages to make calls and is trying to get someone, anyone to help him.  He speaks to the terrorist who kidnapped him and they talk throughout as the plans the terrorist has for him are explained and Paul has to figure out how he is going to escape. 
  He talks to a Special Agent Harris (Palladino) who is working on finding him as well as to his jackass boss (Tobolowsky).  He also tries to reach his wife (Mathis), but only can get her answering machine.
  This movie is far more intense than I thought it would be.  The whole thing takes place in one spot, there is nothing else.  Ryan Reynolds is an excellent actor and proves it here.  The film sucked me in... and then it punched me in the gut.  It's pretty darn good till the last few minutes, where it jumps off the tracks.  I don't know how or why it went where it went (no spoiler here, you won't understand unless you see it, trust me), but it wrecked the film for me. 
  The movie is rated R for language and some violence.  The language is pretty bad, but I don't think most people's reaction to waking up in a buried coffin would be "aw nuts"! :)  The violence just about turned my stomach, so be warned. 
  This still works as a thriller, if you like psychological thrillers, check it out.  Buried gets 3 out of 4 bricks.
