Hey Chicago, see Buried early, and for free!
Oh, what some people wouldn’t do to get closer to Ryan Reynolds. He’s been Just Friends, Green Lantern, and Mr. Scarlett Johansson, but now he’s Buried, and apparently doing A-okay, at least critically. A synopsis and trailer are below.
The A.V. Club has a coffin full of free passes to lucky non-claustrophobic readers for this Wednesday night’s screening in Evanston, two whole days before the movie hits theaters. Interested parties need only go to GoFobo’s RSVP site and use the code ONIONVC00. Act fast, though. When the passes are gone, they’re gone.
Paul Conroy is not ready to die, but when he wakes up six feet underground with no idea of who put him there or why, life for the truck driver and family man instantly becomes a hellish struggle for survival. Buried with only a cell phone and a lighter, his contact with the outside world and ability to piece together clues that could help him discover his location are maddeningly limited. Poor reception, a rapidly draining battery, and a dwindling oxygen supply become his worst enemies in a tightly confined race against time. Fighting panic, despair and delirium, Paul Conroy has only 90 minutes to be rescued before his worst nightmare comes true.
