BURIED
"Im sorry, Paul. I'm so sorry!"
Okay I originally thought that a dick was being bitten here from the Kill Bill series. The Kill Bill series was the first time I can recall in a movie a character ever being put into a coffin and buried alive. But hey, the "that's fucked up" factor loses none of its effectiveness here, so, I digress.
Paul Convoy is a contracted truck driver working in Iraq and he was ambushed. Paul wakes up in a coffin after being knocked the fuck out. He is gagged, his hand are tied he has a zippo lighter, limited oxygen of course, and a cell phone that has the settings in Arabic or some shit with 3 of 4 battery bars on it.. Initially, he doesn't know whats going on, as most victims of KO don't. He's gathering his wits and slowly recalls what happened before he ended up in a dark buried coffin with his ass in it. How did they get him? Some kids started throwing rocks and that was all the distraction needed for the terrorists/kidnappers to fuck shit up kill his accompanying truck drivers and kidnap his white ass.
So he gets this cell phone and starts calling for help. 911 of course and that call is put through to and Ohio dispatcher for some reason no help there. He then tries his family who he cannot get in touch with and leaves his heart on the answer machine. Panicking he is calling everybody who cant really help him. He gets in touch with a friend of his wife who he gets into a bit of an argument with because she doesn't grasp the seriousness of his situation on the initial contact. She gets him in touch with the higher up states dept. are who ever.
Dude talks to the State Dept., FBI, a few more niggas(not race specific) who can't do shit, his job and somebody in charge of situations like his. None of the people he talks to seem to give a shit about him including the terrorists/kidnappers. He talks to one muthafucka that tells him the US doesn't negotiate with terrorists (LMAO) which makes his situation all the more fucked up.
Paul is a bit of dumbass. He is constantly talking to ppl who can't do shit for him and his situation, making youtube and worldstar hip hop videos -running his battery life down, burning a got damn zippo lighter fucking off the oxygen in his coffin, and a bunch of other stupid shit throughout the movie.
I don't want to ruin the movie its basically a fucked up situation all together that is compounded by other events throughout the life of the movie and dude is assed out. Does he get out? Does he die? I aint snitchin!
Did I like it? Lightweight liked it. Its a good thriller, not the dopest of all, but good nonetheless. You might get upset at this dude in this coffin and the shit he does but that means to me means the movie got some emotion from your ass and it did its job in my book. Check it out.
