Lesser Known Movies you must watch - 8

Buried

Cast: Ryan Renolds (one Man Army)

The Eight movie that we are going to applaud and suggest is a Thriller where Ryan Renolds has played a role of his life time… yes its not Deadpool, its this movie. Whosoever things that Ryan Renolds is only suitable for R rated comedy like DP we would request you to watch this movie. It will change your opinion about his acting skills and you would like place him amongst the likes of top Hollywood actors. The entire budget of this movie is USD 2 million as the entire movie is shot in a wooden box i.e. a Coffin and only one actor with 95 minutes of absolute nerve wrecking excitement.

This movie is about a Iraq based American truck driver , who finds himself buried alive in a coffin, with only a lighter, a flask, flashlight , mobile phone and few other accessories. Paul Conroy , when wakes up has no idea what happened to him and how he ended up in this coffin. After putting things together he realizes that his truck was ambushed by some terrorists, and his colleagues were killed and he passed out. He receives a call from the kidnapper, who tells him to pay USD 5 Million by 9PM or he will die in the coffin.

Conroy calls the state department where the government refused to negotiate with the terrorist but assures him of his rescue. The kidnapper negotiates with Conroy and brings the ransom amount to 1 million but ask him to make a video or they will execute his colleague if he doesn’t so he complies but they still kill his colleague. There are some explosions which lead to coffin being damaged and sand started filling the coffin which leaves him very less time to live (other than claustrophobia and less Oxygen). The team trying to rescue Conroy tells him that they have rescued another man Mark white from similar situation 3 weeks back and he is safe and fine to lift his spirits. The Kidnapper again calls him asking him to make a video of himself cutting his finger, threatening him that his family will suffer if he doesn’t. Having lost his job and benefits (receiving a call from his employer), Conroy again complies and shares the video with kidnapper cutting off his finger.

Conroy becomes disillusioned and starts imagining that he is being rescued (The sequences are amazing to watch). After losing all the hope, and sand continues to fill the coffin, giving Conroy minutes to live he receives call again from rescuing team that they have found his location and will soon be reaching out to save him from dying in Coffin. He receives call from his wife as well, who tells him that everything is going to be fine and he will be with his family soon.

Will he be rescued by the team? We leave it to you to watch and enjoy. One thing is for sure that you will not be disappointed.
