1969 (1988)
Starring Robert Downey, Jr. and Kiefer Sutherland as best friends who try to escape the draft, 1969 tries to take on all of the 1960s and really doesn't accomplish much. Downey's great and believable as the wilder of the two who flunks out of college and tries to come up with any way to avoid being drafted, but Sutherland is miscast as the do-gooder who just wants everyone to get along. Bruce Dern and Winona Ryder co-star as Sutherland's conservative father and Downey's younger sister respectively.
I'm trying to watch all of Robert Downey, Jr.'s films, so expect to see more starring him in the future.
My Netflix rating: 3 stars
