Review:

Personally, I am a huge Oliver Stone fan. I liked this movie, despite noticable differences from his typical work. This desert noir has just the right amount of intrigue. I think the desert metaphor is a compelling one almost always. U-Turn has a great cast including, Nick Nolte, Sean Penn, Billy Bob Thornton, and Jennifer Lopez. I think it is an interesting film worth watching, though is probably not the best Oliver Stone out there.
