Paul is a U.S. contractor working in Iraq. After an attack by a group of Iraqis he wakes to find he 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.
Say what you will about Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds, the man has shown a consistent willingness - an eagerness, even - to push himself into new territory. And the next new ground for Reynolds will be under it, starring in Rodrigo Cortes' buried-alive thriller Buried. The film marks the feature debut for Cortes, yet another highly acclaimed Spaniard making the move into English language features, though this one is Spanish co-production , which should leave him the freedom to put his own stamp on things. Much more than Reynolds, Cortes is the draw for me here - the young director moving in the same circles as Luis Berdejo and the rest of the current young guard in Spain, which is to say that he's smart and genre-savvy.

Locked inside a movie inside a coffin with Ryan Reynolds for a couple of hours? Sounds like torture porn to me.
