Movie synopsis

When a young Kentucky man living in Chicago is murdered by a ruthless Mafia boss, his older brother, a Chicago cop, decides to hunt for the killer. Complicating matters for the cop is the arrival of a third brother, fresh from the hills of rural Appalachia, who also wants to find the murderer, but has less concern for the niceties of the law. Undeterred by the mob's sophisticated and systematic brutality, this Kentucky boy seeks vengeance hillbilly-style -- and he won't rest until he gets it.

"...Appreciably better-than-average....Swayze makes a solid leading man, but the film is stolen by [Neeson]..."

When a vicious mobster bumps off a transplanted Kentuckian living in Chicago,
his cop brother, Truman (Patrick Swayze) seeks legal means to get revenge. But
Trumans older brother, Briar (Liam Neeson) has other ideas and heads from rural
Kentucky to Chicago in search of backwoods style justice. When Briar is killed
by the same mobster, Truman calls in all his kinfolk and they proceed to cause
havoc with the Chicago mobsters organization in some brutal ways, showing the
mobsters tricks that they have learned in the backlands over the years. Great
movie from the thriller ranks that most will enjoy.

I originally saw this movie on television, then I had to buy it. I'm a huge Liam Neeson fan, and it's my opinion that Liam almost steals this movie from Patrick Swayze. Swayze is a detective in the big city, but his roots are in the mountains of Kentucky. When his brother, also working in the city, is killed, Patrick is determined to find his killer. However, Patrick's other brother in the movie, Liam, also wants to find their younger brother's killer. Terrific acting and plots, with strong supporting roles from Bill Paxton, Chris Makepeace and Helen Hunt (also look for a very young Ben Stiller). Lots of action, chases, shoot-outs and humor...something for everyone.

Very exciting, action packed yet with a personal touch. Patrick Swayze & Hellen Hunt are young actors at the time this movie was made.
