Patrick Swayze did this movie stepping up his ladder of fame leading to his more famous films like Roadhouse and Point Break. Next of Kin is a rainy day movie, wrapped in the couch blanket with a cup of hot coco 😉

This is an entertaining drama with a story line that comes full circle with putting your priorities in the proper place, with your family and defending that bond. It is always enjoyable seeing the younger days of some of the great talents we follow today and this movie was a stepping stone for many.
