Next of Kin (1989)
5/10
The Good & Bad Of 'Next Of Kin'
20 April 2007
This wasn't too bad an action movie but it wasn't all that memorable, either. It's another Liberal elitist script that shows hillbillies as vengeful dumb-ass hicks. There also is the normal religious cheap shot of showing the morons put their hands on the Bible and say "a life for a life. Amen." That's the typical subliminal message for their viewers that anyone who reads the Bible isn't really a moral person, but revenge just like them.

These "believers" then head for Chicago to get their brother's killer.

There was a good cast in the film with Patrick Swayze and Liam Neeson making an interesting one-two in the lead roles.

I actually would watch this again, some 15 years later, just to see some of the supporting cast: people who have gone on to become pretty famous such as Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, Ted Levine, Ben Stiller and others.
