Movie synopsis

Oliver Stone shelved his social conscience while making this vicious nest-of-vipers noir. Sean Penn stars as Bobby Cooper, a gambler on the run who is forced to lay up in a desolate Arizona whistlestop with car trouble. Desperate and broke, he receives an offer from the middle-aged Jake McKenna (Nick Nolte) to kill his beautiful young wife, Grace (Jennifer Lopez). Initially reluctant, he's finally forced to contemplate the deal. But the fun doesn't really begin until Grace hires Bobby to kill Jake. The film is based on the modern noir novel STRAY DOGS by John Ridley.

USA Today - Mike Clark (10/03/1997)

"...U-Turn becomes a showcase for the filmmaker's terrific arsenal of visual mannerisms and free-association imagery..."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (10/03/1997)

"...[Stone] infuses the genre with his dazzling gift for ambiguous poetic menace....[He] makes every shot a jolt, a sliver of ominous perception..."

The twist are countless

Created: 02/03/07
This movie takes place in a high desert town. It stars several well known actors and actresses. The winner in the game to steal the loot is never really clear, not even at the end of the show. It's named correctly because it's not that it isn't clear, so much so, you just don't know what turn of events is out there to turn the tables on the character that appears to have the upperhand. At the end of the movie I about bloow chips from all the twists. This movie will have you doubting your life long best friend or have your head up your ass. Great show very entertaining.
