Negative Positive
Title: I must have missed the point
Review: U-Turn is bloody. It's sick, too. Even hilarious in some parts. I'll tell you what it most definitely is: dead boring. The story was established early and effectively but with a limited ensemble of off-beat but uninteresting characters my interest in this picture dissipated with each passing scene. Oliver Stone's direction of this film is nothing special. I feel he was trying to capture the dark wit of the book upon which the film's based. Sean Penn gets to mouth off some great one-liners and Nick Nolte has his moments too. 'U-Turn' is too shallow for my tastes, despite the obviously camp performances and shoddy production values. Not horrible, still watchable but not one I'll be watching again in a hurry.
