Next of Kin | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

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.

John Irvin (Raw Deal) directs this deadly clash trapping Truman between the mountain code of retribution and the badge he wears. Adam Baldwin, Liam Neeson, Ben Stiller and a pre-Twister Bill Paxton and Academy Award? winner? Helen Hunt get caught in the fireworks. This is war. And when the country boys of Next of Kin hit the city, someone better head for the hills!
