Profile of Flashback
The mood of Flashback is witty, humorous, and offbeat. The plot centers around an odd couple, mistaken identities, and fugitives. It features satire and irreverent humor. Flashback is a comedy, drama, and crime movie. Stylistically, it has a road movie structure. In approach, it is realistic. Flashback takes place, at least partly, on a train and in a prison. The setting is Oregon. It happens in the 1960s and in the 1990s.
Summary of Flashback
When straitlaced, yuppified G-man John Buckner (Kiefer Sutherland) is assigned to escort ex-60's hippie radical Huey Walker (Dennis Hopper) to the federal pen for past crimes, the agent finds that the old burnout is a little more cagey than he counted on. Walker gets Buckner intoxicated and steals his identification, landing the FBI agent in jail instead of Walker. Hopper and Sutherland lampoon the differences between the idealistic 60s and the money-grubbing 80s in this 1990 action comedy.
