"Next of Kin" is pretty much the standard vigilante movie. Only the actors were changed to protect Charles Bronson in "Death Wish" (1974) and Sylvester Stallone in "First Blood" (1982) from this overplayed formula movie.
Truman Gates’ (Patrick Swayze) brother has a brand-new truck and is selling wholesale cigarettes. He deserves to be shot for that. Oh, he was. Apparently, against his partner’s advice, the brother decided to risk his life to protect the cigarettes from hijackers. Meanwhile, little Joey Rosselini (Adam Baldwin) is showing off and can't back down from the challenge.
Now, Truman must identify the person whom his brother insulted and incarcerate him. You guessed it; the rest of the kin, which includes Blair (Liam Neeson), thought you were supposed to “incinerate” him. So, the fun begins. Bang! Bang! Shoot 'em up.
