Inside & outside door handles have no effect. Door looks like it might not be closed all the way, but the gap is essentially the same as on the other side. Should I kick the shit out of it, shoot it, or what?

Try pulling up on the lock while you try and open it with the handle, if that works let me know.

This happened to me

I had my fiance hold the handle up from the outside and i put the seats down, and just layed on my back and kicked.

something didnt move correctly when it latched, and it just needed a good kick.

also, it might be that teh door latchi s giveing you problems. take a screwdriver ( or a house key) and stick it up under the thing with the emblem on it. pry the handle back to its original position. Then try to open it again. This happenes to mine quite often, i just stick the key up in there, pry teh rear door handle back to its normal position, and it works fine. I also would spray teh crap out of it with wd40

drop me an email if you can get it, i have had many rear door woes

thanks for the advice. pulling up the lock does nothing. lock seems to actuate properly. There is a little bit of play when you push/pull on door (can't really feel any movement, but can hear something clicking). I'm all for the lay back & kick it idea...
