dir. Rodrigo Cortes, 2010
Director-editor Cortes should be commended for this claustrophobic exercise in cinematic minimalism, as he shoves us into a coffin with Ryan Reynolds (getting a real dramatic showcase here) for 95 minutes, allows nail-biting complications and aggravating cellphone conversations to play out in real-time, and somehow manages to skewer American bureaucracy along the way without letting the premise fall into “gimmick” territory.
