ThiefHott Too much of everything
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
gwnightscream Christian Slater, Tony Goldwyn, Bruce Boxleitner, Milla Jovovich, Leon Rippy and George De La Pena star in this 1992 action-comedy. This takes place in San Francisco, California where we meet arrogant, young man, George Kuffs (Slater) who tries to take over his murdered brother, Brad's (Boxleitner) police district/precinct and find the man responsible. Goldwyn (Ghost) plays Ted, a cop who helps George, Jovovich (Resident Evil) plays George's girlfriend, Maya, De La Pena (Popeye Doyle) plays crooked businessman, Sam Jones who tries to take over George's business and the man behind Brad's murder along with his friend, Kane (Rippy). This isn't a bad film with some humorous and suspenseful moments and Slater is good in it. I recommend this.
trojans7 i just love this movie had not watch this in sometime, i had forgotten how good it was. i just laughed all the way though again slater is perfect in the roll of kuffs. it was a character tailor made for him. the endless banter to the camera is great and yes i no some people hatred it for that alone.each to there own.the cop story is your standard fare but its like ferris bullers day off with guns.it has good comedy good action and milla what more do you need i mean serious even the non widescreen DVD didn't distract me. and for me that is saying something. yes it is old school but you know thats its appeal it puts a smile on your dial for 90mins.
TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews Kuffs is a young moron(with *attitude*!) who wants a lot of money without doing anything for it. His brother dies, leaving the district to him, and the killer goes free because of red tape. How can he run it? He has no skills or experience. Well, I'm gonna have to get back to you on that, because this doesn't answer that. Does he try to get revenge for his sibling? Of course. How leader-like. Slater's dubious charm is put to the test and fails, and the painful asides exist for little other reason than to deliver exposition. There's plenty of backstory and details, and hardly any of it is on the screen... it's said in dialog. Instead, we get lousy attempts at comedy(usually silly to the point of being cartoonish... it's hardly ever funny, and the running gags literally physically hurt) and... occasional melodrama. The whole thing is scored by Harold Faltermeyer, and yes, he was indeed still doing the Eddie Murphy style 80's tunes. This does the buddy cop thing a little, awkwardly. All the characters are quirky. Who thought this weird mix of things that can work separately would work? All of what I've described can be good if you pursue one. This skips back and forth between them all. The 97 minutes sans credits pass extremely slowly. You never get into it. You're given no reason to like anyone in this(what's with Ted? Did they think that they'd cast the supercop dude from the Police Academy flicks?), except for Jovovich(beautiful and cute as usual... even if she wasn't legal yet), and she's barely in it(and no, my dislike of this isn't on account of that). The setups do not make sense, they're just there for sit-com scenarios that don't pay off. Why can't George aim when it counts? We get some OK action, all shootouts. The tension is lacking and the choreography is lazy. And you do not give someone dual Berettas in a film and not have them use them way more. The clichés are plentiful. One portion has a lot of bizarrely bleeped out F-bombs(using "notes" on a keyboard and other random noises, taking you completely out of the fiction)... it's as if they suddenly realized they should go for PG-13 instead of R, and made the bad decision to censor it like that. It's also half-heartedly photographed. The DVD comes with a meh 2 minute theatrical trailer, and the suggesting of watching Dazed and Confused(maybe that's so, haven't seen it) and Sneakers(...no. Just no. It's so much more entertaining than this that you can barely imagine it) if you like this. I recommend this to girls who want to fawn over Christian. Everyone else, you can do far better. 5/10
jasondean99 Kuffs is an outstanding movie,Christian Slater continues to "wow" me.This film has comedy,action AND romance.It sets of with Kuffs(Slater)dancing around his living room with his girlfriend(Milla Jovovich),who drops a bombshell that she is pregnant,thinking kuffs would be happy,boy was she wrong!Right from the start this movie made me laugh.He then leaves his pregnant girlfriend in search of his policeman brother,who owns a precinct called the Patrol Specials,Kuffs went looking for him to try and borrow money but instead was offered a job with his brother,which he politely declined until his brother was shot dead by the local crime king.Kuffs takes over his brothers business,his only interest....REVENGE,i don't want to give too much away,so please sit back and enjoy a magnificent movie,an easy10/10.
