Next of King follows police officer Truman, played by Patrick Swayze, as he investigates the death of his brother and is pulled between his loyalties to the law, his wife (played by Helen Hunt) and his brother (played by Liam Neeson).
After his brother is killed, Truman tries to follow the law and stick to the proper procedures, however this is made difficult when his country family decide that it's an eye-for-an-eye and they want justice now. Also included in this film are Adam Baldwin as the over enterprising gangster, Ben Stiller as the heir apparent and Andreas Katsulas as the head gangster.
The film itself is....rather average, especially compared to other films released during 1989. I wouldn't call it a must see, but it's not a bad film either just....middling which makes it a little bit hard to review this since there really isn't a whole lot to say. I think the only real complaint I have is how the cemetery scene at the end pits Swayze against a group of gangsters wielding machine guns while he takes them on armed only with a knife and a bow and arrows.
