Stuck

Stuck At first it's hard to tell what the two stories in this trailer have to do with each other: Stephen Rea is depressed and having trouble filling out some paperwork somewhere (unemployment department, maybe?). Mena Suvari has been named captain of the nurse's assistants at her job, and goes out partying to celebrate the promotion. The two strands have nothing at all to do with each other, until she hits him with her car on the way home after taking some pills and probably also drinking. That's what you get for celebrating, Mena! It looks like she drives her car the rest of the way home with him on the hood, and then hides the bloody mess in her garage. He's alive and asking for help. She's sorry, but not sorry enough to take him to a hospital or to even admit that she did anything wrong. Instead, she tells him it's his fault. He should have watched where he was going. Which ... sort of true, but she should have too. Drivers are usually blamed, after all, when they hit pedestrians, regardless of the circumstances. She inexplicably goes crazy and asks him, "Why are you doing this to me?" As if he wanted to be hit by a car and stuck in her windshield. It looks like she's calling someone for help, but it's not in the way you're thinking. She's looking for someone to help her kill and dispose of poor Stephen Rea. Meanwhile, she's getting yelled at at work for not being responsible. I'm guessing her boss doesn't know the half of it. It looks like maybe Stephen gets away and then almost gets hit by a truck. We end with Stephen saying, "This hasn't been a good day for me." Heh. That's the understatement of all time, but at least it provides some levity to a very confusing trailer.
