Buried
2010
While on a job in Iraq, civilian contractor Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds) is attacked and kidnapped, then awakens to find himself buried alive in the middle of the desert with nothing but a lighter, a candle, a cell phone and a knife. Does Paul have the instincts he'll need to save himself? Director Rodrigo Cortés crafts a tense psychological thriller with sociopolitical undertones that doubles as an exercise in claustrophobic terror.

I like Ryan Reynolds and don't mind one room films similar to Exam - but 90 minutes of one guy in a coffin talking on a cell phone was enough to put me to sleep. This sort of project would be better as an audio tape.
