Stuck is a 2007 black comedy thriller film directed by Stuart Gordon and starring Mena Suvari and Stephen Rea, with a plot inspired by the true story of the murder of Gregory Glenn Biggs.

In Providence, Rhode Island, Thomas "Tom" Bardo (Stephen Rea) is having a particularly bad day; not only has his unemployment run out, but he has also been evicted from his apartment.

Retirement-home caregiver Brandi Boski (Mena Suvari), who is potentially up for a promotion at work, celebrates with a night of drinking and MDMA before driving home.

However, believing that reporting the accident will destroy her life, she opts to take a taxi to work the next day, leaving him to die slowly in her garage.

The website's consensus reads, "Steeped in gallows humor, Stuck is a taut, tense examination of a tragic accident.

Holden wrote "Stuck, while not strictly a horror film, is steeped in gore and carries a seam of mocking gallows humor as relentless as that of Sweeney Todd."

Holden said the film "is exceptional because its characters feel like real people plunged into a disorienting situation in which they behave like monsters.

Fox praised the script by John Strysik, calling it "blackly funny" and said "Rea does quite a bit with a role that keeps him face down and bleeding like a stuck pig for most of the movie, but this is definitely Suvari's show.

"[7] Robert Wilonsky of The Village Voice said "Stuck is both darkly comic and disgusting; the name alone reduces the crime to a sick joke.

"[8] Joe Leydon of Variety said "Stuck is ingeniously nasty and often shockingly funny as it incrementally worsens a very bad situation, then provides a potent payoff..." Leydon called it a "darkly comical farce" and said it could generate a cult following through a "carefully calibrated theatrical rollout, especially if it generates want-to-see buzz in key regions of the blogosphere."

Leydon called the script "crafty" and the director Stuart Gordon "establishes a heightened-reality tone of bleak hilarity early on."

"[9] J.R. Jones of the Chicago Reader said "As the title of this splatter comedy by writer-director Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator) indicates, [Tom]'s like a bug stuck to her windshield, and that's about the level of humanity and insight one can expect here.

[14] Stuck was based on the true story of Chante Jawan Mallard, a Texas nursing assistant who received 50 years in prison for the murder of a homeless man, Gregory Biggs.

The Fort Worth Medical Examiner and other experts all testified at the trial that basic first responder care would have saved Biggs' life.

White actor Mena Suvari, in cornrows, plays a character based on Chante Jawan Mallard, who is of African American descent.
