On this day, October 20, 1989, Next of Kin directed by John Irvin, was released. The action thriller starred Patrick Swayze, Liam Neeson, and Helen Hunt, alongside a stellar supporting cast including Bill Paxton, Ben Stiller, and Ted Levine. With a budget of $12 million, the film managed to bring in $15.9 million at the box office. Next of Kin follows Swayze’s character as he seeks justice for his brother’s death, blending family drama with intense action sequences.

Do you remember seeing Next of Kin when it first hit theaters, or did you catch it later? How does it compare to other Patrick Swayze films from the era?
