Not in the slightest.

They dragged it out too long and it took me out of the movie. Yes it's tense, but so is traffic on the 405.

To me the Irak thing played completely as a mcguffin and the film is nothing more than a great tense thriller with no more pretensions that the cinematic feat of one actor in a box.
I liked it much better than 127 hours, which felt easy compared to Buried, where they keep it confined and interesting without easy gimmicks like the Boyle film does.
