He meets Grace (Lopez) on the street and she takes him home. But mostly people offer him money to kill their spouses. He wanders into a hold up and gets robbed. The gritty mechanic (Billy Bob Thornton, playing a hayseed to the nth degree) can fix it, but he "don't know how long it'll take," so Bobby wanders the streets of Superior finding trouble at every turn.Ī teenage girl flirts with him and her hot-headed boyfriend seeks vengeance.
There's no better place for an unscrupulous con's car to break down.Įnter Bobby Cooper (Penn), an impatient guy with a gambling debt to pay and a Mustang with a busted radiator hose. It's the kind of town where the church has been closed for years and Stone presents its parched, soulless, dusty streets in over-exposed colors that burn the eyes. Peopled by screw-loose yokels, dangerous women and blind Indian shaman who spout philosophical foreshadowing, fictitious Superior, Arizona is an absorbing creation. "U-Turn" (based on John Ridley's book "Stray Dogs") is a great modern noir-Western gone wrong, about an uncouth stranger who wanders into trouble passing through a desert town.
Gotta throw in that incest or it's just no fun for him. Infidelity isn't volatile enough for Stone.

It's just that in an Oliver Stone movie when, say, Sean Penn and Jennifer Lopez are going at it and Nick Nolte walks in, it isn't enough that Nolte is her husband - he has to be her father, too. I'm not going Michael Medved on you here.

I know full well that Stone's films are not for the faint of heart. He just can't seem to tell a story without diverging into some unnecessarily seamy territory. Starring Sean Penn, Jennifer Lopez, Nick Nolte, Billy Bob Thornton, Claire Danes, Joaquin Phoenix, Jon Voight, Powers Booth, Julie Haggerty & Lauie Metcalf
