Buried
A civilian truck driver in Iraq, Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds) falls victim to a band of insurgents. He wakes to find he is buried alive inside a coffin, left with a lighter and a cell phone only. It's a race against time to escape this claustrophobic death trap.

Buried is a one of a kind experience that goes well beyond just a movie with a neat idea. It's a thriller that really works and is one of the best films I've seen all year.

A nifty gimmick rarely translates into satisfying cinema, but Buried qualifies as an exception.
