Too much of everything
People are voting emotionally.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Gave it 2 stars bacause I somehow went against my instinct to turn it off after 2 minutes and then it held me. It had some hope of becoming good so I kept watching. There never was a positive turn. All bad all the time and mostly unrealistic. I kept saying "that would never happen" or "they wouldn't have said or done that". There has to be SOME reality- not a figment of some twisted imagination right to the end. Total waste of time - wish I trusted my instinct. Movies are to be entertained, not disturbed. And it's not 'art'. It's just amateurish crap.
It did not entertain me to spend 90 minutes watching a mentally unstable person with a bellow average intelligence talking on the phone having useless, inefficient conversations or waiting to get connected or waiting for someone to pick up a phone and they never do. Somehow, they managed to make a movie where you do not relate to the character, the suspense is non-existent and it all feels very unreal. The idea about this movie is good but it is all shot in such a way that you just do not feel almost any suspense and are mostly bored. The physics in this movie are extremely unrealistic and also the way technology (the phone) behaves is not realistic (with the "looking for the signal" thing etc.). I think you should spare your time and not watch this but it has 7/10 from the majority of people so I guess someone actually enjoyed this. There are more illogical things in the movie but I do not want to write spoilers so see for yourself how many will "face-palm" you. I kind of liked the ending though but it did not make up for the first 89 minutes of boredom. Also, I think they should have chosen a different actor for this one and also all the voice actors should be punched in the face for giving such bad performance.
2010's "Buried" with Ryan Reynolds is an amazing movie! The whole movie takes place where Paul is trapped, which is something I really liked. The Movie was especially depressing when you find out he has a wife and son. At the end of the movie, I was on the edge of my seat! He called his wife and told her he was about to get out. She made him promise that he'd be home and he promised. Then he calls the people who are getting him out. Only to find out that they went to the wrong area. So he's is left to drown in the sand that is falling through the coffin. And that's where it ends... with the coffin full of sand... and nothing else. I give this movie a 10/10 and need to buy it!!
I bought this movie from a thrift store and now I know why it was donated. Do not waste your time with this horrible movie. A piece of CRAP. I guess I have to have 5 line items in my review so let me write more. I should have known when the whole movie revolves around being buried underground the ENTIRE MOVIE was a hint this movie would SUCK;
