Stuck

I came across this film completely by accident of course, but it's amazing what you can find on the internet, and I was reluctant to get it at first, because I knew it would be pretty grim, except it sounded fascinating and I wanted to see Mena Suvari in action. What I got was a damn clever thriller that was based on a true story, which doesn't actually surprise me. And they say that truth is stranger than fiction!! Not in this case, it's not. Apparently, in the real life incident, the driver was prosecuted, but I don't know what happened to the victim. In the film, that was hardly going to happen. It was played out with extreme dark humour, (reminded me of the satirical bite of Robocop actually), and I thought Stephen Rea was extraordinary as the man who is 'stuck' in the windscreen. What amazing effects and it didn't even feel far fetched either. It wasn't anyway, since it was based on fact.What starts off as a grim story about an accident, delves into what really can happen when you refuse to face consequences of actions which you know will land you in trouble. And Mena Suvari was outstanding as the nurse who has one moment of carelessness which changes her life, but it was the nuances in her character as the film goes on that were impressive. Imagine a nurse who discovers a rather darker side to her nature and her psyche goes through a major change. A nurse!! Ironic in itself. And look out for the scene when she goes a bit crazy when she catches her boyfriend with another girl, and she turns violent!! She starts out being the scared woman who's done something awful, then she turns into a kind of captor, for fear of prosecution (and maybe something else), and she's after a promotion as well. All the stuck man wants is help, but he soon realises that something is very wrong and is forced to help himself, which he actually manages to do, and it becomes a battle for survival. A homeless man really has nothing to lose, so his survival instincts are pretty strong.It makes for quite grim viewing I suppose, but it certainly has a lot to say about human nature, and it keeps you guessing until the very end. Personally though, I don't think it's quite as grim as many have made it out to be. A car crash itself is grim, but that doesn't mean to say it has to be depressing. I have a copy now and I'm keeping it. Pretty challenging stuff I thought.

I don't know why this is in the "horror" section. It's more of a Drama or even a thriller I would say. Elements in the movie I am unsure as to wether it is a dark humour or it is just unintentianally humorous. It's very true to the trailer and actually keeps your interest until the end. I guess its one of those "the morel of the story is" types of movies.I enjoyed the ending and the sudden plot twist; I think it was suprisingly unexpected.

By the director of Edmond and Re-animator, a kind of real horror, where the fear comes from the violence of revenge and the deep brutal instincts hiding inside normal people in danger.It is a kind of theatrical drama, since it is mostly set in a garage with a man stuck in a windshield, but this is enough to create a featurelenght film full of tension and a politically uncorrect and ambiguous morality.

Weird but good, watch this film, its good

Simple story with a fantastic moral twist keeps you watching,me and my misses enjoyed it

Cleverly implemented pschyo-horror with some black comedy thrown in for good measure. Exceeded my expectations.

did this really happen to some one poor guy!!!!!!

very original and great message
