Summary: Flashpoint Missed
Review: This is one of those movies that do not make the hire wire when released, then seem to get missed over time. It is an interesting and compelling story of two Border Patrol agents who find a jeep buried in the Texas desert, which contains a dead man, a great deal of money and a sniper rifle. From then on, their lives change and rather than being the hunters, they realize they have become the hunted. But by whom? Assassination conspiracy buffs will find this a very interesting scenario.

Kris Kristofferson does an up to par, low key performance that suits the character of the weather-beaten agent and former Green Beret he plays. Treat Williams as the younger agent who still believes in "right" and "wrong" is excellent. Rip Torn is also great, as the sheriff and former Texas Ranger with a past.

A very good movie with a gutsy, real-life edge, without the glit, glimmer, computer graphics, and unnecessary violence that seem to be the "stars" of newer action movies. There is action and there is violence, but within the storyline, it is necessary.

A movie well worth the price of admission.

Summary: Flashpoint rare seen great movie with Treat Williams
Review: William Tanner makes a very memorable and enjoyable flick with "Flashpoint". Good premise Treat Williams and Kris play two border portral guards going nowhere (like many in California). They soon uncover a buried dead body and jeep but next to that they find a bundle of cash. It turns out the cash was the loot of a former crook now dead.

Kristofferson's character wants to cash in the money and get the hell out of town but Williams characters wants to investigate why this sap got killed. LOL It's a little far fetch but the last half hour make up for it.

I loved another depiction of the FBI as the oorrupt greedy corporation they are especially with the guy from Robocop playing a crooked agent.

Treat Williams as Ernie Wyatt is terrific signifying a man who is at his wit ends in defending a system that really only helps
the powerful and rich. As a border portal guard, he takes an oath
to protect the innocent and weak like a cop, but Ernie learns
that life and law isn't fair especially with the dead body
he has found in the desert. Does he take the money and run?
Or does he find out what corrupted individuals did this and
do the right thing?

Tremendous performace by Williams.

Could have used more action but "Flashpoint" has good acting and a good soundtrack.
