Passionate hospice worker Brandi Boski (Mena Suvari) believes she will soon be promoted for her hard work. Meanwhile, penniless Thomas Bardo (Stephen Rea) is evicted from his apartment. Their lives intersect in shocking fashion when Brandi hits Thomas with her car. Thomas, lodged in the car's partially shattered windshield, pleads for help, but a frightened Brandi ignores him and drives home. Fearing she may lose her job or receive jail time, she makes a chilling, life-changing decision.

Critics Consensus

Steeped in gallows humor, Stuck is a taut, tense examination of a tragic accident.

Kim Newman

Empire Magazine

It's a shaggy-dog story that spirals into garage Grand Guignol, with Suvari and Rea well-matched in uneasy roles.

Rated: 3/5

Time Out

Gordon has directed drama, such as Mamet's 'Edmond', but also visceral horror movies like 'Re-Animator'. Elements of both are evident in this taut psychological thriller.

Rated: 3/6

James Christopher

The Times (UK)

Stuart Gordon's low-budget thriller is so compellingly perverse that it transcends its humble premise.

Rated: 3/5

From the Front Row

A lean, nasty piece of work that deserves a wider audience than it is ever likely to receive.

Rated: 2.5/4

Stuck is not only the most entertaining horror flick to hit North American theatres this year, it's arguably the top Canadian shocker of all time.

Rated: 4/5

The true story of a man stuck in a dumb lady's windshield is gold in itself. And even though its not a slick production, Mena is able to make a little something of it.

Grisly, not only in its plentiful visual gore and gallows humor, but in the movie's gruesome depiction of human stupidity and selfishness.

A real one trick pony. Yes, you'll feel stuck if you watch the whole thing. For Mena fans only.
