U TURN (1998)

Cast

Plot

Bizarre, blackly comic thriller from Oliver Stone. Mike (Sean Penn) is having a very bad day and things get a lot worse when he arrives in the hick town of Superior, Arizona. On the run from a gambling debt, having just had two fingers chopped off, all he wants to do is get his car fixed and get out of town - hardly surprising when you see the inhabitants. But Mike's being held to ransom by the in-bred, half-witted local garage mechanic, and the hot babe whom he's hooked up with (Jennifer Lopez) turns out to have a highly volatile husband (Nick Nolte) who wants Mike to kill her. Vicious and definitely offbeat, staff opinion ranged from "Cracking, a top movie" to "A pile of shite". So you'll just have to watch it and decide yourself. In my opinion, a little belter.
