With people like Sean Penn, Billy Bob Thornton, Joaquin Phoenix and Nick Nolte I don't expect anything less than a good performance. The way everything was shot is really well done and the music (composed and selected by Ennio Morricone) gives it all an extra touch. I must say that I was quite surprised by this movie.
He can't do anything else but to stay in the village, to try to live with these weird people and to stay out of the hands of the bookies until he has found some money. He's got no money because he was robbed and the mechanic charges him an enormous price for the repairs. Bobby Cooper wants to get out of there as quickly as possible. Pepper on a bench, next to his dead dog a dumb garage owner a young macho, called T.N.T, who seems to come straight from the fifties and his nymphomaniac girlfriend. A blind Indian who doesn't do much else but drinking Dr. In this town live all kind of weird people.
His car breaks down and the only option that he has is to leave the main road and to go to a small, dusty town called Superior. The story starts with Bobby Cooper (Sean Penn), driving somewhere in the middle of the desert in Arizona, on his way to pay the bookies that have already taken two of his fingers because he was too late to pay them. I'm not saying that it was the best movie ever, but it sure deserves better than what most people over here say about it. "U Turn" seems to be a movie that not many people have enjoyed and I really wonder why that is.
