U Turn
1997
Bobby (Sean Penn) is a drifter on the run. But he's forced to stay put when his car breaks down in an unfamiliar town, where he meets several odd characters, including greasy mechanic Darrell (Billy Bob Thornton) and Jenny (Claire Danes), a teenager seeking refuge from her abusive boyfriend (Joaquin Phoenix). The plot thickens when he meets Jake (Nick Nolte), who offers Bobby a tidy sum if he'll murder his striking wife (Jennifer Lopez).
Expect the Unexpected.
