Review of Stuck (2002) by Luke B — 26 Jan 2009
A really surprising little film. An unbelievable true story is the basis for this tense, gruesome and often funny film. It's Misery in a garage as Stephen Rea finds himself stuck in a windshield. Suvari is excellent as a nurse who spends her days helping others, but when it comes down to it she shows herself as the calculating selfish little minx she is.
The film is tragic in its depiction of humanity and even more tragic in that the true life ending had an even worse outcome. Gordon hasn't forgotten about this being a film and a lot of the dark humour comes from witnessing these unbelievable acts of selfishness.
The violence can be quite gruesome but serves the story well. A film where I had no idea where it was going but enjoyed every second of the journey.
