This is a must-see movie... A chance that Bobby Cooper (Penn) didn't do a U-turn!

Oliver Stone repeats the excesses he forced on us in "Natural Born Killers", in this tasteless movie that can only be described as a "failed experiment." It seems that he was trying to capture elements from a variety of stylish movies, most notably David Lynch's "Wild at Heart", his own "Natural Born Killers", and the cinematic stylings of the 1996 "Romeo and Juliet". What he has produced in this 2 hour feature film however is the cinematic equivalent of 240 stylish blue-jeans commercials linked together with re-occuring characters. The cast is an impressive one, but in a movie this controlled by the director, they are only as good as the camera's eye allows them to be... which isn't much. Of the entire cast, it is the surprising Jennifer Lopez who is allowed the most leeway to actually "act", whereas the others, including Nick Nolte and Sean Penn are pigeon-wholed into stereotypes on top of stereotypes. Over all, this is an unpleasant film that I don't think I would recommend to anyone, not even the most staunch fan of whatever sub-genre this might be. There's a reason you don't see much of this film in the previews besides that "Patsy Cline is dead" line. There *isn't* much besides that line. Avoid this film, and go see "L.A. Confidential" instead.
