ARM’s Film Review : Buried

Well now, if you are looking for realism (even vaguely) don’t go see this movie. There are a number of things wrong with it:

Dude is buried in a rather spacious coffin underground in what’s supposed to be Iraq. And he has his cigarette lighter and, for some reason, a torch, mobile phone and huge angry anteater in there with him.

And of course, you always get a good cellphone connection 6 foot below the surface. In Iraq. Or is it?

Bloody O2 can’t even get me a connection in the house!

So, my overall opinion? Oh what? The story? Ok, same sort of thing that happens to all of us really. Get a phone call from some foreign dude demanding $5m dollars otherwise he’s going to let you die in a coffin. Yeah. Just phone up Noel Edmonds Family Christmas Video Accidents instead and get him to pay it.

Fails miserably on the mobile phone aspect, so it’s SHITE.
