Very Underrated
Good story// Good cast // I have watched this movie twice and feel this is one of the better movies of the 80s.
shareI completely agree. This is an excellent film, I'd love to see more like it. Kristofferson always delivers for me, and I'm a Treat Williams fan as well, but I disagree with one of the reviewers that this is a film for Treat fans only. This is a solid mystery with real similarities to Lone Star and Extreme Prejudice. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I thought it was a tight and well-focused script, with honest characters and good production values. If you watch Burt Lancaster's "Executive Action" before this film it really ties the plot line (and Flashpoint's ultimate outcome) together.
Plus is has one of the funniest lines in a police mystery that I've ever heard......
"We're with the Border Patrol, ma'am -- we don't have any balls."
Six Actual......OUT!
Interesting. Elaborate on the Executive Action tie-in, if you don't mind. Are they from the same author? How do they tie together? Thanks.

Executive Action... another "Kennedy Assassination" film that was good but still quite uneven, although I much prefer Flashpoint if I had to choose between the two. The chemistry between Kristofferson and Williams really made the film for me.

Definitely under-rated;
