Stuck

Rating:  

Directed By: Stuart Gordon

Starring: Mena Suvari, Stephen Rea

Plot Synopsis:

Stuart Gordon creates a provocative, over-the-top experience in Stuck, a tabloid-tinged thriller inspired by true events. Brandi (Mena Suvari) is a compassionate young retirement-home caregiver in-line for a promotion. Tom (Stephen Rea) is a victim of the downsized economy, out of work and newly homeless.

Their worlds collide when Brandi, driving home from a club after too many drinks and pills, accidentally hits Tom, the impact smashing his body head-first through her car’s windshield. If discovered, this “accident” will extinguish her bright future, so instead of saving him, her plan is to let him pass and dispose of the body later. Faced with this reality, Tom knows he must escape if he wants to survive.

Review:

Reading the plot synopsis, you pretty much know what you’re going to get with Stuart Gordon‘s newest film, Stuck. A B-movie crossed with provocative indie film and dark comedy. Just when you think Stuck could be heading to snoozeville, the film picks up and grabs you all the way until the credits roll.
