why would anyone hate this film????????
ive seen many negative reviews for this movie,but it still remains to me an underrated masterpiece. in fact,along with,natural born killers,i think its his best movie!!!!!!!
shareAs a HUGE FAN and ADMIRER of Oliver Stone, I COULDN'T AGREE MORE! U-Turn is truly one of his best films, an entertaining film noir in a modern setting with a dark undercurrent of humor throughout. Well worth the time!
shareat least Someone agrees with me..i also think Oliver Stone casts his films really nicely...like how nick nolte,powers boothe ,billy bob thornton and others just really fit into their u-turn roles.....this Stone film,(along with Natural Born Killers) is one that has a special magic that none of his other films have!
"Human beings aint only human,ya know.... They got animals livin inside em too..."
i really liked this movie too, i wonder why it only has a rating of 6.7 here. i loved the movie for its craziness, every single character in this movie was awesome.
shareI didn't like it as much as you guys. I was sad at what Stone had done, to be honest.
It wasn't horrible (I would never say that about a Stone film) but it was the worst of the movies of his that I've seen (if truly forced I would tie it with Nixon, but at least Nixon had a decent screenplay).
It just can't be compared to "Salvador", "Platoon", "Wall Street", "Born on the Fourth of July", "The Doors", "JFK", "Heaven & Earth", "Natural Born Killers", or "Alexander". I have yet to see "Talk Radio", "World Trade Center", and "Any Given Sunday", but I'm hoping they're better than U Turn.
If it was supposed to be satirical, then fine, but as a serious film, it just didn't work. The scene with J Lo and a tomahawk just made me wince. J Lo did a bad job in this film.
Did you actually watch the garbled mess that was Alexander? Proof that Stone has lost it along with World Trade Centre.
Apart from J-Lo, this film is great. Excellent casting, acting, the script moves along at a cracking pace and Sean Penn holds the movie together with brilliant acting. It's obviously not Stone's best work but it's better than Alexander that's for sure.
That sands not gonna rake itself Hiroshi.
""Its obviously not Stones's best work""
I diasgree. I think is his best film, along with Natural Born Killers. I think he does his best work away from War and Politics, (except for Alexander ,that sukked...

Alexander is better than U-Turn. Any day.
A Clockwork Orange is the greatest film ever.
