Stuck (2007, Canadian/USA)

Yep, that was a Stuart Gordon film. I'm still a bit unsure as to why Gordon took to this particular real-life story - a woman who hits a homeless man with her car and leaves him stuck in her windshield in a garage for days - but . . . okay, I just answered my own question. Gordon obviously saw an opportunity for both gore and absurdist comedy, and he ran with it. Mena Suvari (where has she been?) is Brandi, a nursing home worker looking at a possible promotion. One night on the way home from a club, Brandi hits a down-on-his luck Stephen Rea with her car. She freaks, heads home, and spends the next day trying to save her own ass. Gordon milks this set-up for all it's worth, particularly in the final third, when things go from just plain nuts to batshit crazy. I think the audience for Stuck is probably pretty limited, but it features a good performance from Suvari, an excellent one from Rea, and while it's not a terribly deep film, it certainly isn't something you're likely to forget anytime soon.
