A mix of the old westerns where the stranger arrives in town and the twilight zone type plots of 'After Hours' and the recent Michael Douglas film, 'The Game,' this picture features Sean Penn stuck in a hellish desert hole where things get weirder by the minute. Well known for his capacity and zest for shaking up the established Hollywood norms - be it wild controversy in 'J.F.K.' or 'Nixon,' or similarly received bloodbaths in 'Natural Born Killers - Stone has a knack for making movies that people either really hate or really love, with few falling in between. OUR TAKE: 5.5 out of 10 When the opening strains of 'It's a Good Day' by singer Peggy Lee start off this movie, you know it's going to be anything but when you see the name, Oliver Stone, under the directed by title. WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: R For strong violence, sexuality and language.Д¬AST AS ROLE MODELS: Few, if any parents, would consider any of the cast members as good role models. Preteens, though, will probably have no interest in this film. WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT? Someone in the cast might draw teens, as might director Oliver Stone's ('Natural Born Killers') name. Feeling pressure from the gangsters and desperately wanting to get out of this strange town, Bobby must decide who, if anyone, he'll kill for the money to get his car and leave. After he fails to kill Grace and instead has sex with her, she tells him about a large sum of money that Jake has hidden away, that could be theirs if he'll kill her husband.

'TNT,' who thinks Bobby's try to steal Jenny (CLAIRE DANES), his underage girlfriend. While he waits for his car and ponders the offer, he must also deal with the local constable, Sheriff Potter (POWERS BOOTHE) who has his watchful eye on Bobby, and a jealous young thug, Toby N. The offer's tempting to Bobby who's recently had his loan money shredded by a shotgun blast during a robbery, but he's not sure. Bobby apologizes and leaves, but Jake catches him and after talking a while, asks if he'll kill Grace for a cut of her insurance money. They're interrupted, though, by her jealous realtor husband, Jake (NICK NOLTE). Having time to kill and thinking he's going to get some 'action,' he heads back to her place. There he meets an old wisdom-filled and blind Indian man (JON VOIGHT) and later, Grace McKenna (JENNIFER LOPEZ) a beautiful woman who instantly flirts with him. Darrell (BILLY BOB THORTON), a grinning, grease-covered hick mechanic, doesn't know how long it'll take to fix the car, so Bobby heads into town. It's then that he begins to think he's entered the twilight zone. His car blows a radiator hose in the desert, however, and he's forced to stop in the small Arizona town of Superior to get it fixed. PLOT: Bobby Cooper (SEAN PENN) is a small-time gambler who's heading to Las Vegas to pay off a debt to some Russian gangsters so they won't cut off any more of his fingers.
