Buried (2010)

Things like his captors take everything from him EXCEPT his anti-anxiety meds.
He lights a fire inside a wooden box. Aside from it being a bad deal under "ordinary" conditions, when you're buried and oxygen is at a premium, it's an even more stupefying act.
If I'm calling someone, the first thing I'm going to say is, "I'm buried in a box in the middle of the desert. Get me some help." I'm not going to dick around and argue with the person on the other end of the line, like he did with his wife's friend or whoever that was. He argued with her until she hung up on him and didn't tell her his situation.
Again, maybe this is my military training talking, but if someone tells me what I need to do to survive, I'm going to do it. If they tell me not to call people, I'm not going to waste time calling my senile mom in a nursing home. I understand he's distraught and all, but everything he did said to me that he wasn't interested in his survival. Maybe that was intentional, but it did nothing for me.
