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.

"...A raucously joke-filled black comedy....Stone's new wild style converts U TURN into a roaring broadside of colliding images..." -- Philip Strick , (Sight and Sound)

"...Richly funny....Oliver Stone finally proves he has a sense of humor in U-Turn..." -- Mike Clark , (USA Today)

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

"...[Stone] infuses the genre with his dazzling gift for ambiguous poetic menace....[He] makes every shot a jolt, a sliver of ominous perception..." -- Owen Gleiberman , (Entertainment Weekly)
