Product description The FBI has caught the infamous '60s radical Huey Waller and is sending his to jail but somehow Huey's yuppie FBI escort ends up behind bars. Item Type: DVD Mov ie Item Rating: R Street Date: 09/24/02 Wide Screen: yes Director Cut: no Special Edition: no Language: ENGLISH Foreign Film: noSubtitles: no Dubbed: no Full Frame: no Re-Release: no Packaging: Sleeve Amazon.com Inspired casting puts sparks in this comedy of counterculture clash between an aging 1960s radical and a buttoned-down FBI agent. Dennis Hopper plays an Abbie Hoffman-esque sixties activist and prankster who lands in the custody of a conservative young agent (a suitably uptight Kiefer Sutherland) and proceeds to literally unravel the agent's carefully constructed front through a series of slippery mind games. Hopper has a blast as the unreformed sixties relic, and Carol Kane is delightful as a hippie holdout who puts both men back in touch with their identities. There are few surprises, plenty of heart, and even a little sentiment in this story of rebellion and the legacy of the counterculture. The soundtrack is gilded with well-chosen 1960s anthems. --Sean Axmaker, ISBN13: B00006F7IL ISBN10: B00006F7IL Material Type: dvd Show more
