September 20, 2009Oooh. This is a really gritty and interesting movie about realistic (sickeningly so) villainy. Nothing that happens in this movie is simple, and it would be a crime to describe this movie in terms of the barebones of the plot. Stephen Rea is the victim and Mena Suvari is the culp...( read more)

September 1, 2009This movie was terribly difficult to watch.
Not because it was a bad film, but because it felt so raw and real in a way that made the viewer very intentionally uncomfortable.
The gore felt genuine as did the pain.
The choices of our antisocial female lead paired with the odd c...( read more) -
May 31, 2009Serviceable B-movie schlock horror with atleast an original premise if not execution.

May 4, 2009Stuart Gordon makes lots of strange choices with his films. I love his work, but Stuck was the strangest of his choices, to me anyway. I really didn't care for this one. I believe it's because I did lots of reading on the actual case, based on Chante Jawan Mallard, and figured th...( read more)

April 24, 2009Stephen Rea and Mena Suvari prove that they haven't fallen off the face of the planet in this very quirky film by Stuart Gordon. Apparently 'based on a true story', the premise is bazarre to say the least and tends to lean more toward black comedy due to its over the top nature. ...( read more)

November 24, 2009Mena Suvari's best acting to date, and a surprisingly intense dramatic turn from director Stuart Gordan. This tale of a car accident gone crazy, in which Suvari's nurse accidently plows into a perfectly cast Stephen Rea's homeless man, whom gets stuck in her windshield, is as int...( read more)

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
You might hope for fiction to bring insight to senseless cruelty, rather than augment the ignominy of the original crime. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
A quick and nasty social satire that comes with the 'inspired by a true story' avowal, Stuck melds horror and humor as it offers a literally lacerating portrait of humankind at its worst. full review

Bob Mondello, NPR
Gordon's inventions — vivid, gruesome and occasionally quite funny — offer a just-deserts ending and make both characters surprisingly active participants in their fates. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
The over-the-top tale becomes a tense and unsettling duel. This is not enjoyable entertainment, but it is brutally watchable. Writer/director Stuart Gordon seeks to expose our uncaring, self-absorbed ... full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
Gordon shoots his material's descent into grotesqueness (of both a physical and ethical sort) with jagged briskness that amplifies his scenario's mordant humor. full review
