Quote:

Director Oliver Stone’s U Turn (1997), with a script by John Ridley based on his novel, is a sensationally trippy Southwestern neo-noir—and yet another in Stone’s series of cinematic meditations on the American character. Not a pretty, but always a fascinating picture, with standout performances from the phenomenal likes of Sean Penn, Billy Bob Thornton, Nick Nolte, Powers Boothe, Jennifer Lopez, Bo Hopkins, Joaquin Phoenix, and Claire Danes. Shot, in a dazzling variety of styles, by Robert Richardson (Django Unchained) and highlighted by a score from maestro of maestros Ennio Morricone.

Good film

Doctor Jack · 12-06-2014, 06:02 PM

Only movie I have tolerated JLo in. God she sucks.

spargs · 12-06-2014, 06:09 PM

Haven't seen this since it was first released. All I remember is being incredibly disappointed, feeling that this was Oliver Stone's worst film to date and that the similar Red Rock West was much better. Maybe I need to revisit it.

I think she was good in Out of Sight and Selena.

I've never seen U-Turn.

Wow, Twilight Time? Was expecting Image or Mill Creek for this one.

I'd be down for a $12 blu-ray from Image, but definitely not $30.

Yeah I really liked her in Selena. That was when she was more down to earth rather than the monster celebrity she is today.

Also, that role obviously fit her like a glove.

As much as I dislike the TT pricepoint, this is one of my favorite Stone films so definitely picking this one up.

Akijama · 12-06-2014, 06:30 PM

Granted, it's been a long time since I watched it, but I recall it being a good and entertaining neo-noir.

Definitely need to rewatch this.

Same.
I had a feeling this release might happen when other Stone flicks started getting put out by TT (Salvador, Heaven & Earth). This one is a favorite and I will be on it, even if I'd prefer a cheaper version. The other 2 weren't worth it to me as they are not favorites, although if some cool signed something is offered I might get them to get enough $ for the freebie. We see when we see.

Cool news.

You guys are crazy if you don't like J.Lo in Out of Sight, IMO.

GenPion · 12-06-2014, 06:51 PM

I've never seen U-Turn but it's good that more Oliver Stone is coming to Blu-ray.

Monterey Jack · 12-06-2014, 07:12 PM

Dat ass...

Batmon77 · 12-06-2014, 07:21 PM

JLo is great in El Catante. And im not fan.
She has Selena, Out of Sight and Money Train and some like The Cell....so I dont think she out right sucks.
She's not really stretching in U Turn and she's not even JLo then. But does fine.

I liked Joaquin Phoenix little role.

Oh, and one of my all-time favorite guilty pleasures, Anaconda.

I could sense this title was coming and from TT.

This film is long overdue on BLU. Robert Richardson's awesome cinematography should lols great in HD. I know the film was panned by many critics when it was released but I think it is one of Oliver Stones most entertaining films.

I am thrilled this one will be released I time for Sunmer!

Hopefully some good extras.
