Amazon Customer Reviews of this item: (Average Rating is 3.58/5.00)

I'm not a big fan of Oliver Stone but this movie was awesome! Sean Penn does a great job of portraying the lowlife and is always believable. He could have carried this film on his own but he has a great supporting cast along with him! The scenes involving the disgusting mechanic played by BillyBob I could watch over and over again! Jennifer Lopez is sizzling as the seductive young housewife looking for a way out.
There are some unsettling scenes which might repulse some but nothing too over the top. The quick-cut style of filmaking and overacting that made Natural Born Killers so annoying is toned down and really works in this film. Nothing much in the way of extras on the DVD unfortunately but this movie doesn't need any. It's over two hours of action, thrills and fun!!! Don't miss!!!

This is the fourth time in four years that I've been watching Oliver Stone's U TURN. I admit it sincerely, I didn't like it so much the first times but I kept watching it because there was something in the movie that attracted me. And I know by now that any quality movie deserves more than a single showing if you want to express an objective opinion about it.

There is much to discuss about U TURN's content, arty effects or characters. The movie can also be the beginning of hour long discussions on the homages and the references, evident or more subtle, distillated by Oliver Stone along the road. Take the final scene, for instance. Watch it again with the final scene of King Vidor's DUEL IN THE SUN in mind. The Sean Penn-Jennifer Lopez bloody show takes a totally different dimension, doesn't it ?

So one of the reasons of the cult status gained by a peculiar movie is the pleasure the movie creates with each new vision. Like a classical music opus, the film must never make you feel as if you had digested its entire substance. You must feel unsatisfied, ready for a next showing right after the end credits. With U TURN, you'll be sure to possess a DVD that will outlive the most sophisticated DVD players.

A DVD zone "they don't like it but I do".

Sean Penn as "Bobby Cooper" is on his way to pay off a debt in Las Vegas, a gambler finds himself stranded in Superior, AZ with a busted radiator hose. Suddenly the seemingly normal meets the bizarre and treacherous when a beautiful local (Jennifer Lopez as Grace McKenna) and her husband (Nick Nolte as Jake McKenna) suck the gambler into a deadly game of lust, madness and money with only one way out.
