Buried - Lebend begraben - Kritiken

Although the entire movie takes place in the enclosed space, director Rodrigo Cortes and writer Chris Sparling are ingenious in creating more plausible action than you would expect possible.

A brutally intense indie that commits to its bleak premise and doesn’t back down. Tarantino will cackle as he watches.

If you can take the sheer, asphyxiating, chest-crushing terror, then this is for you.

...en drønsikker og ualmindelig velspillet "nail-biter" af en spændingsfilm og et potent menneskeligt drama...

...milk every single frisson of nail-ripping anxiety from a stunningly simple – yet universally recognized and dreaded – conceit and then cap it with a payoff of molar-pulverizing intensity.

...an exercise in cinematic minimalism that doubles as a metaphor for how grunts get manipulated and sacrificed in times of war.

Idén är bra, utförandet smått genialiskt. Buried är lite som en blandning av Saws klaustrofobiska dödspussel och de falska förhoppningarna som matas offret i Phone Booth

...är helt ärligt inte bra för varken era naglar eller mentala välbefinnande.
