I have read the script and I assure you guys that the whole movie will be in the coffin for 90 minutes straight. NO FLASHBACKS, NO CUTS TO OTHER PEOPLE. JUST RYAN REYNOLDS IN A COFFIN FOR 90 MINUTES.

The movie is amazing as hell. Ryan Reynolds pulled off one of his best performance ever and I wish he would get a nomination for some award (at least a Golden Globe?). Cinematography is excellent, it was able to capture the audience's mind because without a good cinematography, I'm pretty sure most of us would get bored quick. Last 10 minutes was intense as ****.

I dont understand the praise Reynolds is getting. Any decent actor could have pulled this off.

Ryan Reynolds got the praise because he is able to handle the entire weight of the movie by himself. Yes, any decent actor (but i doubt so imo) can pull it off but he's the one that actually gotten the role so we are unable to compare his role with any other actors.

The spectrum of acting on display is as narrow and limited as his physical movements. The only acting we see is him panicking, and most of it is done through tone of voice, and this, pretty much any decent actor can do. Reynolds did a good enough job, but I'm saying this role wasn't hard from an acting standpoint. Being trapped in a confined space like that is another matter.

What is the budget for the movie? I bet most of it went to Reynolds. Discounting his payoff, I think the movie could have easily been made with $50,000 or less.

You're not really looking in depth with his character that he's playing. All you notice is just physical but you've forgotten about Conroy's personality which was really subtle due to majority of the screentime is him doing some physical acting. And you like saying his role wasn't hard, please list some actors from his generation that can play Paul Conroy perfectly like him.

The subject matter isn't new to me.

I believe in CSI Season 5, Episode 24: Grave Danger: Volume 1 & Episode 25: Grave Danger: Volume 2, the episodes directed by Quentin Tarantino they dealt with te same subject matter.

And then again in Kill Bill Vol 2, also directed by Quentin Tarantino.

So not really motivated to go watch it in the cinema...

So all war movies, romantic comedies, buddy cop movies are all the same to you since the subject matter isn't new to any of us?

Our taste in movies is really bad. Go to boxofficemojo.com and search for Malaysian box office. Our taste is so bad that Resident Evil is the highest grossing film this year (or is it Avatar:TLA?) and is more successful than Inception.

bottom line, the movie scuks.

You can call me a little b**** all you want but you have to admit we have bad taste in movies. All we want in a movie is flashy explosions and action and cheesy romance. If the movie's too deep, we'll go "OH NO!! TOO MUCH THINKING!! NO THANK YOU!". The local film producers should know better. If they would want to improve their reputation, they shouldn't churn out crap after crap of locally made movies.

And aren't you a hypocrite for calling us out on our opinions of the film?
