Review of Buried

Seriously this movie is just disappointing!!! A very, very stupid guy in a coffin trying to figure out how to survive but doing absolutely nothing worthwhile for 90 minutes... :( It takes a few minutes then you really dislike the guy! OK so its very sad for him he's buried alive in a coffin! I'll give him that! But after fumbling around with the Zippo lighter for what feels like YEARS - he should get the point! He's in a coffin - he needs the oxygen and YET HE KEEPS BURNING THE STUPID ZIPPO LIGHTER! Even after he finds a telephone with more light than the Zippo he still uses the LIGHTER who consumes all his oxygen.... ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? And everyone who's ever held a Zippo knows how hot it gets if you burn it a long time... Not only that but he spends most of his time talking to people who gives a damn... or doesn't believe him or he's horribly rude to people! And so many things are just done for the action and are so not believable... The snake for instance... if it can get IN the coffin and OUT again so can he! But no he has to use the brandy or whatever it is in the cantina to start a fire and burn all the oxygen! He has the knife from the bag that he doesn't find before the KIDNAPPER informs him its there although it has LOTS of thing in it! And whats up with that ridiculous call from his employers?!? Even people who doesn't know ANYTHING about lawsuits and insurance can hear that he should hang up that call after just the first few sentences but he just lies there and answers! Seriously after that I almost wish he just dies! Thats how obnoxious he is! Thats how illogical he is... He keeps doing so many stupid things in that coffin that you just can't believe it!!! And yes its not even original - People have been buried alive in movies so many times - and yes the CSI episode probably is fresh in memory but at least Nick Parker doesn't behave like an obnoxious little brat for 90 minutes so I'd rather watch that episode ten times than having to ever re watch this horrible, horrible movie!!!!
