4/5
"The movie does have a point. It examines the mind of an immoral man. Throughout his journey into Superior, Arizona, he faces trials, tribulations, and encounters people who provide him with choices, but do not decide his fate."

4/5
"I can?t imagine U Turn in any director?s hands except Oliver Stone?s. "

"What makes this film work, however, isn't really its well-oiled familiar movie mechanisms (plot, character, motivation): it's plain enough that Stone knows how to make a picture."
Philadelphia City Paper

C+
"A bad trip flick."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
"Viewers who don't need depth and can ignore technique overkill along with social critique nonsense, should enjoy the bumpy ride offered by 'U Turn.'"
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
3/4
"The film takes so many detours that at least one or two of them are bound to surprise even the most jaded movie-goer."
ReelViews

2/4
"a mostly wasted effort in exploiting a well-tread genre"
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
3/4
"With brilliant photography and inventive camerawork, Stone gives a really interesting feel to the story."

low +1 out of -4..+4
"ts flaws are in large part ones we could overlook in a new filmmaker and still say he is promising. From a now major filmmaker like Oliver Stone, it probably must be considered just a minor effort and perhaps a false step."

3/4
"Bizarre, somewhat baffling, but nonetheless intriguing and warped entertainment for anyone brave enough to tackle it."

4/5
"Observar os 'truques' de Oliver Stone é, por si só, diversão mais do que suficiente."
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca

"One of Stone's best narrative, and thought-provoking, efforts to date."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
"If you want to see U TURN precisely for Stone's individual stamp on the work, you probably won’t be disappointed"
