Like riding on cobblestone with a vibrator, Stuck is uneven but fun. A horror movie that would've been better if they hadn't said it was based on a true story (it's as historically accurate as Cocaine Bear), this horror flick keeps the action coming, whether it's good or not.

The only sympathetic character in this movie is the accident victim (Rea). Everyone else[spoiler], including the people who could have saved him (with the small exception of John Dunsworth as a cab driver eager to help with car trouble),[/spoiler] will quickly earn your contempt or indifference. Occasional attempts by Suvari and Hornsby at comic relief repeatedly miss the mark. The accident itself is strikingly well depicted. Unfortunately, it turns out to be the culmination of a Kafka-esque bad day for the victim, as if the writer was halfway through reading the book of Job; I say "unfortunately" and "halfway" because there is [spoiler]no payoff, in fact barely a resolution,[/spoiler] before the credits roll. Unless you're a fan of gratuitously farfetched gore porn, which characterizes every scene featuring the victim after the accident, I assure you this movie is not worth your time.
