Backtrack Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Dennis Hopper
Genres: Thriller
Rating:
Originally prepared for European release under the title Catchfire, Backtrack wasn't given a wide distribution until 1991, and then only to capitalize on the Oscar win of Silence of the Lambs star Jodie_Foster. In Backtrack, Foster plays a youngish innocent who witnesses a mob hit. Professional assassin Dennis_Hopper is contracted to silence Foster for keeps. Instead, he falls in love with her. Directed by star Hopper, Backtrack has some of the feel of his earlier, better Easy Rider: the cast is populated by such old Hopper chums as Dean_Stockwell, Charlie_Sheen, Joe_Pesci, Bob_Dylan, Vincent_Price and Julie_Adams; and, like Easy Rider, it looks as though the story was improvised during filming.
