Claudio C @Claudio666 4 days ago Burst Radiator Hose (12,725 – 19 Sep 2000 / 27 Sep 2026) After losing two fingers for not paying debts to a shark, Bobby Cooper crosses Arizona heading to Las Vegas to pay his debts. However, the burst radiator hose forces him to stop his car at the repair shop of Darrell. While waiting for the repair, he goes to the Superior, where he flirts with the local Grace. He goes to her house and learns she is married to Jake McKenna, who proposes him to kill Grace and share her insurance. But everything goes wrong and he is trapped in the town. "U Turn" (1997) is a great neo-noir dark comedy film by Oliver Stone. The screenplay are excellent with many twists. The cast is also fantastic, and Liv Tyler in the beginning of her career has a small part as the girls in the bus station. Sean Penn is amazing, but Billy Bob Thornton steals the show in the role of the crook Darrell. The cinematography in the desert completes this great film. My vote is eight. Title (Brazil): "Reviravolta" ("U Turn") See more Huntin P @PaxVobiscum80 Sep 22, 2026 J-Lo's fleshy goodness on display, and also some kind of film noir, nowhere town from hell, everything that can go wrong will go wrong kind of caper. That's what I remember. A certain flashy stylishness to the direction, and Joaquin Phoenix and Claire Danes in rubbish supporting roles. But T&A - J-Lo's Ts and Sean Penn's A (eww!), that's U-Turn. See more Qinq D @RT14362661 Aug 24, 2026 Sean Penn is terrific as a drifter whose bad luck seems to multiply with every wrong turn, bringing a jittery, unpredictable energy to a character trapped in a town where everyone seems to have an angle. The performances across the board are fantastic, and the film’s darkly comic tone gives the danger an extra edge. There’s something wonderfully feverish about U Turn, a story where every escape route leads deeper into trouble. Stylish, strange, funny, and increasingly unhinged, it’s a thriller that takes a simple wrong turn and keeps driving straight into the abyss.

Of course, like most of Oliver Stone’s work you either love or hate his movies, there is no lukewarm in-between. See more JIm C @JimJim Feb 15, 2026 Billy Bob Thornton's Darrel is a highlight of the film. Jennifer Lopez is no actress.

Was this an attempt at a Tennessee Williams? Or, Rod Serling? See more Read all reviews
