Review of Next of Kin (1989) by Brad G — 17 Sep 2009

What a wonderfully strange cast! Patrick Swayze, Bill Paxton, and Liam Neeson as hillbilly brothers! Helen Hunt as the wife. Adam Baldwin, Ben Stiller, and Andreas Katsulas as the mob family. Unfortunately, the film is really not that exciting.

I wish Swayzeâ??s full on revenge kick didnâ??t start until the last fifteen minutes of the movie. Liam Neeson is really the Charles Bronson character and I love his ridiculous redneck beard and ballcap.

I wanted to hang with him for most of the movie and not the â??Let The Police Handle Thisâ?? Swayze. Still, itâ??s worth a look for that nutty cast. VF.
