U-Turn is a very, very weird movie. But i like it.
With very weird characters, and an ever stranger situation in a even so strange town, ironicaly called 'Superior'.
Sean Penn playes a stroller who's car brakes down near a town called Superior, from here on, everything, and i mean everything goes wrong. I won't go into the details of the trouble he gets himself into, but it's very comical to see everything going sour for Penn. He plays this desprate en frustrated guy very well i must say.
But what was the coolest in the movie, was to see the total makeovers of some great actors. For example Billy Bob Thornton is so different as the twisted car salesman. When you see him in Armageddon for example, it's hard to beleive it's the same person. And Nick Nolte is brilliant as the rich perverted old man.
The only thing that dissapointed me about the movie was the rather corny ending. I'd rather see that different for one time.
Overall the movie reminded me a whole lot (and i mean a whole lot) of Red Rock West, with Nicolas Cage. But for as far as it goes for making a very disturbing, and a freaky movie(great job, Oliver Stone) U-Turn wins the race.
I'll give it a 7.
