Reviews

Despite the strong central performance from Patrick Swayze, 'Next of Kin' failed to impress in the eyes of many critics. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a rating of 50%, indicating mixed reviews. Some critics found the film to be a generic and predictable action flick, lacking originality and depth. While the intense action scenes were praised, the overall execution of the plot and character development left much to be desired. Metacritic's rating of 53/100 also reflects the lukewarm reception the movie received from reviewers. Despite its shortcomings, 'Next of Kin' managed to resonate with some viewers who appreciated the raw intensity and emotional core of the story.
