Several super bugs/hidden details

Spoilers involved.

1. At 11:04, the male protagonist directly used his mobile phone to call 911 in the United States, and after connecting, it was actually 911 in Ohio. The person who answered the phone said he didn't know why the male protagonist could still receive the police station in Ohio in Iraq. Doesn't this directly mean that the male protagonist is buried in the United States, not Iraq? ? ? Is this a shocking detail that overturns all assumptions, or is it a big bug that the screenwriter didn't notice?

(Can adding the US area code 001+911 directly to the US police in Iraq? And why did it happen to receive Youngstown, Ohio (not the man's house, the man's house is in Michigan))

12:48

2. At 84:14 seconds, a long shot shows that the coffin has obviously broken a hole from the side, and the legs of the male protagonist can be seen. How can quicksand fill the entire coffin in the end when the sides are left empty? Is the coffin on the ground or buried in the ground?

84:14 The hole is the male protagonist's trouser legs

3. The male protagonist obviously felt the ground shaking, and then the coffin was broken and an hourglass came down. The rescue agent also said that the US military had just bombed a certain place. Why do rescuers end up being led astray by a surrendering terrorist? Is it so coincidental that the location where Mark White was buried is the same location as the male protagonist?

If there cannot be a complete logical explanation of these three issues, then the screenwriter of this movie is very, very unqualified.

Personally, I am inclined towards screenwriting issues, the movie is empty of ideas and leaves too many details.

    To be able to make such a moving movie in a small coffin, it can also ebb and flow with the emotions of the characters, and there is a glimmer of hope and emotion before the final complete despair. It can be seen that the director's skills are extraordinary.

    It could be made into a movie, it's awesome.
