"Help me, please!" "En...i'm sorry." The idea of a movie in which one character relies on a few props to survive and play the entire story is quite bright, but the theme and plot are not particularly brilliant. The rhythm of the progressing story is as limited as the narrow space the protagonist is trapped in. The language of the camera lens can only convey limited information to the audience, while the voice on the other end of the call makes people infinitely imaginative or suspicious.
Compared with general suspense films that combine many details under the camera and make rational reasoning, most of what the audience can do is to tie their own feelings to the protagonist, and start step by step as the sand that symbolizes time falls. A long emotional experience and inner monologue, until despair or complete catharsis.
What is more difficult than death is that he is helpless, waiting for the tug-of-war between death and rescue. Moreover, it is still between the predicted death and the unknown rescue.
