Because Dennis Hopper is in Flashback and it involves many 60's themes, there's an
Easy Rider feel going on.
As much as I want to like the movie, it's ludicrous at times, especially the idea of Kiefer Sutherland's
FBI agent character being a flower child who ran away from the commune because he was ashamed of his parents.
Then, to create a coincidence by pairing him with a notorious yet idolized hippie who did something harmless, which is a lot
less criminal than the actions of The Weather Underground, is going too far. One of the better parts is the
tandem of Michael McKean and Richard Masur. They aren't bad. Obviously, their characters should've been sent to prison
for a long time.
All in all, fans of Dennis Hopper will like Flashback.
