Surprisingly efficient little gem
The premise is quite simple. Guy is trapped in a wooden box for the duration of the movie. Only one person is ever shown (except a little mobile phone video). That person is Ryan Reynolds. Somehow he makes it work. He's efficient and believable as an Iraq contractor (truck driver) who wakes up in a coffing buried to the ground and panics, cried, gets angry, negociates via phone etc...
I found that the suspence kept itself afloat throughout the movie to the final act and the time passed surprisingly fast. Very good, geniuine, believable movie. Very scary at times.
