Review of Stuck

Stuck (I) (2007)
7/10
you can't escape reality

First, I should say that Stuart Gordon's "Stuck" is definitely one that squeamish people should avoid. Even as a non-squeamish person, some of the scenes made my skin crawl. But the fact that this is based on a true story just adds to the cringe-inducing factor. Mena Suvari plays a character that I interpret as an extension of her character in "American Beauty": in that one, she was a jerk to everyone, and here she refuses to take responsibility for her actions, thereby getting herself into more and more trouble.

Like I said, this is not for the fainthearted. But I recommend it anyway. Of course, in the end - as Stephen Rea's character often hears - you choose.
