Great modern noir crime thriller from Oliver stone, worth seeing
U Turn delivers wild twists and dark humor. A rollercoaster of thrills that keeps you entertained throughout. Highly enjoyable.
Remember watching this when it came out and was entertained by the various twists. Not sure if it would stand up against time. Maybe?
Really bad acid trip of a movie, wants to satirize small town life without knowing anything about it, watch Red Rock West instead
A crazy movie, with a very unique and original story and characters
Impressive ensemble cast does their best with moderately engaging material.
Terrible attempt at a modern noir. I would recommend Red Rock West instead.
A film equivalent to that kid in your 8th grade civics class who thought drawing metal bands' names on his notebooks was edgy.
One rare movie with Jennifer Lopez when was starting, and did it well as ALL cast. Messy out of director's style Dark as rumors about it too
Overrated movie by a overrated director
