Review of Stuck (2002) by Jarrette P — 17 Nov 2008

"Stuck" deserves more than goofball antics thrown into a taut, sharp-edged plot. Characters are often stupid, but Stephen Rea as the victim does well for drawing us in and making us care. Suvari also succeeds at being so very inhumane that we literally hate her.

But the movie could keep things tight and edgy, and it sadly doesn't. Rea's attempts at escape only prove frustrating with the passerby's around him and the movie relies on too much improbability.

For DTV material, it's okay.
