An entertaining trip through flower power nostalgia, with Dennis Hopper having a ball sending up his old screen persona. He is a 1960s activist, on the run for two decades, who is finally nabbed by the FBI but then proceeds to run rings around his fresh-faced captor, Kiefer Sutherland. The stars spark off each other nicely and there are also some neat supporting turns from Richard Masur, Carol Kane and Michael McKean as frustrated middle-aged hippies. The script lacks any real satirical bite, but it is nice to see Hopper in what is now one of his rare non-psycho roles and director Franco Amurri keeps the action zipping along.

A hippie radical, Huey Walker has been a fugitive for decades, accused of a crime that he may not have committed. Finally apprehended, Walker is escorted to trial by uptight 20-something FBI agent John Buckner. While the two seem to be polar opposites, it turns out that Buckner may have more in common with Walker than is initially apparent, a point that is driven home when the pair faces off against a sinister small-town sheriff.
