Reynolds gave one of his best performances inBuried.

ButTarantino did the same story onCSIfive years earlier.

This storyline is almost identical toBuried.

Tarantino also guest-directed an episode ofER: season 1, episode 24, “Motherhood.”

ButKill Bills live burial isnt as realistic as the way Tarantino portrayed it inCSI.

It takes place in a heightened reality; the Bride punches through the coffin and soars through the dirt.

HisCSIepisode tackles this nightmarish scenario in a much more grounded way (no pun intended).

TarantinosCSIepisode is great, butBuriedis even more terrifying.

Buried is a thriller film starring Ryan Reynolds by director Rodrigo Cortes. The film follows Reynolds as Paul Conroy, an Iraq-based American trucker who is attacked by a group of Iraqi insurgents, only to wake up and find he is now buried alive inside a coffin. With only a lighter, a pen, and his cell phone, Paul must find a way to reach the outside world and stay alive long enough for the government to rescue him.
