The film stars Sean Penn in a convincing performance all the more admirable for being pointless. Watching "U-Turn,'' I was reminded of a concert pianist playing "Chopsticks'': It is done well, but one is disappointed to find it done at all.

"U-Turn'' and "Cherry'' both end, indeed, with a debt to "Duel in the Sun.'' I imagine Stone made this movie as sort of a lark, after the exhausting but remarkable accomplishments of "Nixon," "Natural Born Killers," "Heaven and Earth" and "JFK." Well, he deserves a break-but this one? Stone is a gifted filmmaker not afraid to take chances, to express ideas in his films and make political statements. And the images and milieu are out of Russ Meyer country his "Cherry, Harry and Raquel'' and "SuperVixens'' contain the same redneck sheriffs, the same lustful wives, the same isolated shacks and ignorant mechanics and car culture. Much of the story comes from " Red Rock West," John Dahl's 1994 film about a man and a wife who both try to persuade a drifter to kill the other. This is a repetitive, pointless exercise in genre filmmaking-the kind of movie where you distract yourself by making a list of the sources. Only Oliver Stone knows what he was trying to accomplish by making "U-Turn,'' and it is a secret he doesn't share with the audience.
