Until…there is only darkness. Bleak and hopeless, with no time left. And it is within this prolonged darkness in which Buried, directed Rodrigo Cortés, comes alive in purpose.

Far more than anything in the act of filmmaking I appreciate honesty the most.  Most Hollywood features these days sell themselves on a lie or they greedily want to steal your money with flashy effects or easy sequels and...
