	Author	Review
United States	Rob Nelson Variety	"An ingenious exercise in sustained tension that would make Alfred Hitchcock turn over in his grave."	POS
United States	Rex Reed The New York Observer	"Ryan Reynolds is astounding (...)The effect is genuinely creepy, but do not even think of seeing Buried if you suffer from claustrophobia"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"Ingenious in creating more plausible action than you would expect possible. (...) The images we summon in our minds are more compelling than any we could see. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"A horror movie with delusions of moral grandeur (...) If you shrug off its pretensions, “Buried” works as a manipulative stunt that gets your adrenaline pumping"	NEU
