Next of Kin
Next of Kin's action blasts through Chicago right from the get-go. The mob wants to muscle in on a local business but they make two mistakes. They kill a youth whose brother is a cop. And that cop is Truman Gates (Patrick Swayze), transplant from Appalachia's backwoods to Chicago's mean streets.

Awesome Movie! - kstar0327
I really liked this movie. If you know anything of Kentucky justice the movie will keep you from the moment that it starts until the moment that it stops. I really thought that this was one of the best movies that ever was made about justice from a different level......along the lines of Red Dawn for action and adventure.Hillbillies vs The Mob! - cathyottawa
Yikes! Was this bad!
I think I was fooled by the cast - Liam Neeson (playing a backwoods hick, that was interesting casting), Helen Hunt, and even Ben Stiller.
I'm guessing they'd all rather forget this is on their resume. This is just your typical, bad 80s renegade cop movie. We have the obligatory car chases, the revenge motive, and the cop that's going to do things his way.
This is the dopiest bunch of mobsters put to screen, and the craftiest hillbilly ever. Do you think good cop Swayze will hit a point where he turns in his badge, and decides to do things the "mountain" way? Well...you'll just have to rent this stinker if you want to find out.
