    A yuppie and a hippie are the offbeat pairing of this character comedy in the tradition of earlier mismatched buddy films such as Midnight Run (1988). Kiefer Sutherland is uptight, 26-year-old FBI agent John Buckner, who's been assigned to escort an aging counterculture radical named Huey Walker (Dennis Hopper) to Oregon for trial on a charge that's decades old. Buckner finds Huey's lifestyle and beliefs irresponsible. Once the two are bound for their Pacific Northwest destination, Huey begins to play psychological mind games with the straight-arrow Buckner, convincing him that he's tripping on hallucinogenic drugs, getting him drunk, and setting him up with a hooker named Sparkle (Kathleen York). Huey trades places with his captor and soon a game of cat-and-mouse is afoot as the agent pursues the one-time radical, with surprising revelations abounding regarding Buckner's childhood and Huey's motivations for allowing himself to be captured. Flashback also stars Carol Kane, Cliff De Young, Richard Masur, Michael McKean, and Paul Dooley. Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

    March 04, 2005: As a Canadian who grew up in Toronto and tried to experience all the 'bad stuff' which we called 'good stuff' at the time, it amases me how much this film seems to reflect how we felt at that time and how we played together. The limits were blurry and experimentation was allowed and encouraged. This film showed me I was not crazy and alone in my madness.

    August 05, 2004: I was a movie usher in 1989 when this film was released, and if I had not been in that role at that time, I would have never been aware of this film. What a mistake that would have been! This is an awesome movie that is a delight to watch. It stars Dennis Hopper as the sixties radical who never let go of his past, and the great Keifer Sutherland as the uptight eighties yuppie who can't get started with his future. This film has a great plot, great acting, a great concept, and great music. The ending is absolutely great - whenever I watch it, it makes me feel good in terms of its overall message about life.
