Critic Reviews

Felix Gonzalez Jr., DVD Review
Unless you are an ardent fan of Dennis Hopper or of Henry Jaglom's unconventional filmmaking, Tracks will be of little interest.
Felix Gonzalez Jr., DVD Review
Jaglom seems unable to decide whether he wants it to be a character mosaic or a psychological nightmare ...
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...becomes increasingly aimless and flat-out weird as it progresses...

This obscure relic from Dennis Hopper's down-and-out '70s casts the volatile star as a troubled Vietnam soldier on temporary leave, riding a train across country to escort a coffin home for burial. The plot doesn't go much further than this, and most of the film seems improvised and barely sequenced. Faint story threads include Hooper bantering with an eccentric radical (Dean Stockwell, thoroughly stoned from start to finish) and trying to coax a pretty young thing (Taryn Power) into sex. The soundtrack of '40s standards is a strange choice for a movie with such a topical theme.
