DVD Reviews of Stuck
DVD Review: wow, what complete, amateurish, GARBAGE
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm aware this is based on a true story, to whatever extent this may be true, but boy did they ever epicly fail in their quest to adapt this true story to film. I'm in shock that this complete trash can be rated this highly. This has some of the worst acting I've seen, and it compliments the bad writing of the movie awfully well.
Story: Guy gets hit by car, severely wounded, stuck in car windshield, near death. Rest of the movie is us watching Mena Suvari try to cover up the accident. And now here comes the list of deficiencies in the movie, in more or less in the order they happened, with a couple tangents included:
**Worst...intro...to a movie...EVER. Who's idea was it to show Mena Suvari in slow motion with rap music playing in the background as she cares for the elderly at the nursing home?
**Did they seriously just include the unnecessary side story of the guy getting evicted and his trouble at the job agency, as a way for us to become sympathetic to the character? Seriously? Mr. writer/director, just...go away, go bury yourself or something...
**Speaking of the guy that got evicted, did the landlord tell him that he COULDN'T take his own belongings as he was leaving?? Did I miss something or is that what actually happened? How can you not have a right to your possessions?
**The acting is so unrealistic in this movie. When the guy goes to the job agency, the way they have the secretary and the other guy behind the desk who tells him to mail an application is just too over the top abrupt and mean. There's just no one that talks that way. They're caricatures.
**When the guy's dog came back after licking the bloody leg of the car crash victim, his owner reacted completely unrealistically. 1) You would immediately notice the RED BLOOD near his mouth in contrast to the dog's hair color (and it took him an eternity to notice it), and 2) and this is HORRIBLE writing, why did the owner immediately conclude that his dog must've been in the garbage???? Think about it, if you have a beloved pet, and you see BLOOD on him after he returned from an unknown location, during which you may or may not have heard slight whimpering sounds, would you not first be fearful and want to make sure it's not HIS OWN blood? Wouldn't you quickly inspect him to make sure HE'S not the one that's been hurt? God, dumb writers..
**I won't criticize this one too much since I'm not a health expert, but the crash victim stuck seems to have an inconsistent level of energy to him in the movie. One moment he can barely lift his head, and in another moment he can swiftly disarm a 235 lb man with deadly accuracy then murder him with relative ease. Maybe human strength does fade in and out like that, but I don't know, it just seemed silly.
**I guess there's a first time for everything since I've never criticized subtitles in a movie before...until now. The dialogue between Pedro and his mother...LMAO. Wow. Did they have budget problems and so couldn't hire a professional interpreter? The good samaritan Pedro is trying to tell his mother that there's a guy hurt in the garage, stuck in the window, etc. Here's the translated subtitle:
"The man is hurt."
"What man?"
"Man in garage."
"See spot run."
"Hop on pop."
Pretty much is how it came across.
**Bad acting by Pedro's mother. As she's being led by her son to the garage where the victim lies, why would she bring up the issue of it being private property and so is fearing to go any closer? We're not talking about some gated community here. Also, when she agrees to go, why as they're walking, does she come to a FULL STOP on the sidewalk, in order to tell her son that yes, she will go this one time. Play that out in your mind if you were that person, wouldn't you pretty much be saying that AS you're moving? (like, "ok, I'll go, but...whatever." You don't come to complete halt to make that statement unless you're some simple organism).
**Another hit against Pedro's mom- As she's peering in the garage window and sees the man stuck in the car window, why did she bang on the window so damn long to tell him that she's going to get help? This jumped out at me because I could see if she just kinda banged on it, hollered out that she's going to get help, and off she goes, but it's the fact that she did it for so LONG. She would bang five times, stop, then bang again, stop, and repeat. What was she expecting him to do? COME OPEN THE DOOR?
**Mena Suvari looked...very unappealing the entire movie.
What could've been a decent thriller is absolutely killed by the terrible acting and bad writing.
