Starring: Ryan Reynolds
Directed by: Rodrigo Cortes
SC=3 V=7 C=9
Grade: B

This movie is a very difficult movie to watch. Very, very intense, which is odd because the entire movie takes place in a coffin. The ENTIRE movie takes place in a coffin. No glimpses of what people are doing outside...nothin. It's also depressing because, like I said, he's in a coffin. The only reason I graded the movie as high as I did is because Ryan Reynolds gives one of the best performances in any movie I've ever seen. He's truly incredible. He plays Paul Conroy, who is a US driver working in Iraq. After he is attacked by a group of Iraqis, he wakes up in a coffin, buried alive. With only a lighter and a cell phone, its a race against time to escape the claustrophobic deathtrap. The movie itself is claustrophobic. The person watching feels like they're trapped. Both director and the star made this a very intense, scary movie.
