Reviews
|
Chicago Sun-Times -
The use of 2:35 wide screen paradoxically increases the effect of claustrophobia. I would not like to be buried alive.
|
|
Chicago Tribune -
This exercise in racked nerves makes most of the year's thrillers look like flailing maniacs by comparison.
|
|
Variety -
In purely cinematic terms, Buried, set in late 2006, is an ingenious exercise in sustained tension that would make Alfred Hitchcock turn over in his grave.
|
|
Time Out -
The movie's real asset is Reynolds himself, utilizing his comedy chops for unexpected levity.
|
|
Observer -
The effect is genuinely creepy, but do not even think of seeing Buried if you suffer from claustrophobia.
