Oliver Stone directs this dramatic dark comedy about a small-time hood(Sean Penn)on the run with mob money. On the way to Las Vegas his car breaks down in a desolate little town Superior Arizona where the locals tend to welcome their guest with doses of sex, infidelity and murder-for-hire. Quirky, dark and humorous and full of off beat characters. Also in the cast are:Nick Nolte, Powers Boothe, Jennifer Lopez and Billy Bob Thornton. Even smaller parts are filled by Joaquin Phoenix and Claire Danes. Some comical relief comes from the old blind man played by Jon Voight. John Ridley's screenplay has you feeling sympathy for a character who probably has never deserved any. Fun to watch.
