Ryan Reynolds’ new film, Buried, is getting so much hype from this years Sundance Film Festival. Buried‘s only star and actor is Ryan Reynolds; there are other people in the film, but more like voice actors. The film is a Rodrigo Cortés directed film written by Chris Spelling; a bit of unknown talent as far as the film industry goes. Paul (Reynolds) is a U.S. contractor working in Iraq. After an attack by a group of Iraqis he wakes to find he is buried alive inside a coffin. With only a lighter and a cell phone it’s a race against time to escape this claustrophobic death trap.
After the official screening at Sundance, critics at Firstshowing.net and /Film.com have been praising this film. There has been so much praise, in fact that Lionsgate have picked up the film for distribution; hopefully for a very soon release date. I am pretty excited to see this film since Reynolds is my favorite actor. This film seems like a little gem that breaks away from the norm and is pretty ballsy and new. I like it. I can’t wait to see this film
