Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Hopper gives a strong performance as a '60s radical who came near to murdering Vice-President Spiro Agnew back in 1969. After emerging from two decades in hiding, he finds himself being escorted to face trial in Washington state by reactionary FBI man Sutherland. He manages to change clothes with his minder and both land in trouble with a local sheriff. The main pleasure here is the repartee between the stars. Lots of appeal for ageing hippies, too.
