Another ‘MTV’ work from Stone’s '90s period, alongside the likes of Natural Born Killers and Any Given Sunday and marked primarily by the frenetic, vibrant editing. The story could be described as being a hybrid between neo-noir and an After Hours-style dose of Murphy’s Law for Penn’s down-and-out protagonist. The film overall reaches no great heights but it’s more than entertaining for its two hours.
This might be on a list of the worst movies I have ever seen. It is also high up on a list of the most disappointing movies I have ever seen. You would think that it is impossible for a filmmaker as great as Oliver Stone to make a movie as horrible as U-Turn, but it did happen. When talk about Oliver Stone, I stay away from this movie!
Boy, nobody likes this film. It's by far my favorite Oliver Stone, probably because it isn't his typically simplistic topical crap.
