Description
Wherever Jack Falen goes, the war goes with him. Acclaimed actor Dennis Hopper stars in this searing psychological drama as Falen, a burnt-out Vietnam vet escorting the body of a fallen pal on a train trip home, or is he? Written and directed by Henry Jaglom (Someone To Love, New Year's Day), Tracks is a powerful showcase for Hopper's dynamic talents. His Falen is paranoid, bent with rage - the kind of character that's been the Oscar.-nominated actor's forte in Easy Rider, River's Edge, Blue Velvet and more. Journey with him across America... and into one man's private hell.

When Dennis Hopper boarded Henry Jaglom's train of memories-'You want to go to 'Nam? I'll take you to Nam!' November 19, 2006
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
Henry Jaglom's 'Tracks', is a beautifully constructed film, that, deals with the power of memory and the tragedy of War.
Without a doubt, the fiery, fantastic acting talent, that is, Dennis Hopper, struts his stuff so close to the bone, that one is drawn in so personally, that, the pain of his situation, becomes, almost unbearable to watch.
Unbearable to watch, but, one invariably does and keeps up with him to the shattering, unexpected climax.
I first saw this film, featured on a program, hosted by the filmmaker, Alex Cox(Sid and Nancy), on BBC London, quite a few years' ago.
It quite literally, blew my mind away!
Never, had I quite seen before, a filmmaker, who, bluntly criticised the horror of Vietnam and presented it in such a direct, straightforward manner.
The supporting cast, including, the splendid Dean Stockwell, is admirable indeed!
Filmed on location, it features, almost all the scenes,aboard several trains.
Apparently, Jaglom, failed to get initial permission, from the powers that be, to film, aboard the locomotives, the consequences of which, the cast and crew, were booted off, train after train.
Congratulations, all around, that, the movie managed to get finished at all!
Praise be to God it did!
I reinterate and reiterate, a splendid, masterful film, with an outstanding central performance from Mr.Hopper.
Miss this film at your peril!
