i would say the movie is even more consumed by its style than NBK...as someone who, until nixon, hated stone with a passion, i really enjoyed u-turn. it's very dark, and a whirlwind of stylistic experiments. at the end i just sat there and laughed. don't want to give anything away, but it's a fun ride.

I've just seen the film _U-Turn_: Ca. guy breaks down in Az ... and the plot twists from there ... Darkly amusing, with stylistic flashes from NBK still visible.
