Review of Next of Kin (1989) by Buggy B — 04 Jan 2014
Oh Patrick Swayze, as much as I love you, you did make some bad movie choices. I wonder whose idea the mullet tied into a ponytail was here? Not a good look but it was the 80's so much can be forgiven. Here Swayze plays a Chicago detective who sets out to find the (mobster) responsible for the death of his brother. His other brothers (all mountain Hillbillies) want to avenge his murder too and the relatives come to odds about the "kind" of justice to be used. Yup, it's hillbillies against the mob. Wow. And Liam Neeson plays your backwoods brother, (didn't see that coming) what an accent. However for such a terrible movie it is filled with a bunch of young, on the rise talent. Helen Hunt is your wife, Bill Paxton and Liam your brothers and a baby faced Ben Stiller. If you're in the right mood this is kind of a fun movie. 09.13.
