    Editorial Reviews

    Oliver Stone directed this John Ridley screenplay adapted from Ridley's novel Stray Dogs. A drifter (Sean Penn) eludes Las Vegas collection agents and arrives in a small town where he decides to linger after his car has a breakdown. Here he gets involved with the locals, including an unhappily married couple -- a businessman (Nick Nolte) and his seductive, femme-fatale wife (Jennifer Lopez). A trailer trash teen (Claire Danes) also approaches him in an effort to get away from her abusive boyfriend (Joaquin Phoenix). Tensions in the town escalate, eventually leading to murder. Stone wanted to change the title from U-Turn back to Stray Dogs but encountered a problem with Akira Kurosawa, who felt it was too similar to his detective classic, Stray Dog (1949) with Toshiro Mifune.

    May 12, 2003: I think that movie is good for kids, because what could they do that they saw on the screne, but it would raise their IQ a lot.

    April 20, 2003: This one will knock you for a loop. It's definitely not for people who like happy endings. It's full of sleazy, despicable people who do nothing but nasty things to each other, and I just love it. You can't help but laugh at the black humor that runs all the way through. Sean Penn is the shining star, but everyone plays their roles wonderfully. Billy Bob Thornton is unrecognizable as the world's slimiest auto mechanic, and Juaquin Phoenix is hilarious as the local spineless bully. The final scene must have been very difficult to shoot. When it ends, all you can do is shake your head and whisper, ''Wow.''
