U Turn [DVD]

Unusual story with an unexpected cast besides Sean Penn and J Lo (both brilliant!). Bobby, played by Sean Penn, gets stuck in a small town with no possible exit other than to kill the wife (J Lo) of a real estate guy (Nick Nolte) at the latter's behest or to kill him at her demand. There is a crazy cop, a wisdom spouting native American, a jealous boyfriend of a girl who makes eyes at every one - in short, a living hell from which Bobby is struggling to escape. The movie, directed by Oliver Stone, is brilliant in every way but not for everyone as it is not a typical Hollywood movie.

Captures the weirdness of a remote Arizona desert town brilliantly - mysterious and crazy-funny by turns. The diner scene with Sean Penn and Joaquin Phoenix ('Toby N Tucker' / 'TNT') cracks me up every time I watch it. A brilliant movie deserving of much better reviews than it got when it was released.

ONE OF THE BEST FILMS EVER .........SEAN PENN IS BRILLIANT ALONG WITH NICK NOLTE AND OTHERS !!!I'VE WATCHED IT ABOUT 6 TIMES PREVIOUSLY ON MY OLD TV DISC RECORDER BUT WHEN MY RECORDER STOPPED WORKING { DUE TO OLD AGE PROBABLY ... IT WAS 10YRS OLD !!! } I WAS GUTTED TO LOSE ALL MY FAVORITE OLD FILMS .......TO THE RESCUE AMAZON .......GOT IT ON DVD !!! IF YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT .........GO ONLINE TO WATCH THE TRAILER AND HEAR THE GREAT MUSIC SCORE BY ENNIO MORRICONE. THIS FILM YOU WILL TREASURE .......I WON'T GIVE AWAY THE PLOT BUT THE FILM IS DIRECTED BY OLIVER STONE .....THE CAST IS........ SEAN PENN...NICK NOLTE ...JENNIFER LOPEZ ...POWERS BOOTH ...CLAIRE DANES ...JOAQUIN PHOENIX ..JOHN VOIGHT AND BILLY BOB THORNTON WHO IS REALLY REALLY FUNNY. ENJOY

It might be bcause the film is older but I found it average. Quite boring at times

Loved the movie so much when it was first released that i had to visit infamous Superior AZ... The place is weirder in real life... Still worth to see if you like this amazing movie. What a music what an atmosphere! Actors play is exemplary - you are just immersed in action for full 2 hours. So dark!

Good film

Rubbish movie! Waste of time! I can't believe how IMDB rating is 6.8!

Very good film with Billy Bob at his best!
