Buried

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Ryan Reynolds is trapped in a coffin buried somewhere in Iraq.

They call this a suspense thriller with twists and turns, but that's a crock of shit. It's very straightforward. Nothing happens that will surprise you.

I wouldn't say the movie is anti-anything as it's more about the story being told, but you could get a sense that it is based on the situation and the dead ends Ryan hits.

Ryan does a good job acting, and if you ignore all the gaping holes in reality, it's an entertaining film.

Spoilers below...

I won't say how much of the film is spent in the coffin, but it's a lot. You're going to see a LOT of Ryan, and little to none of anyone else. No flashbacks or anything.
