Stone's noir mine is played out and played with too much. Along with Penn who loves these eccentric roles is the very sensual Jennifer Lopez. Nick Nolte looks and sounds more like Tom Waits than Nick Nolte and he joins the cast in dancing out of tune to Stone's twisted vision. Billy Bob Thornton and Jon Voight round out the cast as the mechanic and the Indian with some broad thespian turns. Aside from some minor grain, U-Turn is a far better DVD than it is a movie.
