The film was recommended for its views of an old moribund mining town of Superior, Arizona, "despite its content." But we found it to be an Odyssey of a poor sap whose "U-Turn" got him deeper and deeper into more and more morbidly irresistible situations. Who can he trust? Can he survive the passionate appeal of a seductress with her own agenda? Long after we enjoyed the geographical background scenery we were gripped by the tragicomic sequences and the need to know what or who was happening to whom next. Want action and like antiheros? Enjoy dusty Western locales? Want to console the abused beauty J-Lo? Bored with too-obvious movie characters? If your life gets predictable and you want a change, see U-Turn.
