Buried (2010)
Movie
Released
A phone, a light and a confined wooden space become a brutally limited set of tools. Ryan Reynolds has to make calls sound like physical actions, because bureaucracy consumes the same dwindling time as panic. Pick it for escalating helplessness rather than expansive adventure; claustrophobia is the entire environment.
