Films like Open Water, Frozen, Buried, and Burning Bright are usually good for the suspense. The latest in the trapped in a confined space genre is Centigrade, a film much like Frozen but instead of a ski lift it is a car buried under a blizzard of snow. Supposedly based on true events and spawning almost two weeks, it does show the mental breakdown one would have but it just feels tired. I've seen better versions of this, not only that it just goes on and on. At 90 minutes it feels like 3 hours. The end made me find the characters unbelievably stupid, but it has an aura of realism i suppose. Of course stuff could have melted for the plot device but looking around it doesn't seem to be the case. Regardless no suspense was felt, just pure boredom.
