i remember see this film when i be 13 or so . i enjoy it then and and i still enjoy it today . the plot be simple . while do a hijacking of their own company truck and the truck driver be murder . little do they know that the murder trucker have a brother who a chicago police officer . the murder only help to strain the relation of truman gate ( swayze ) and his brother and brior ( neeson ) and truman with the rest of the family . many of whom feel betray because truman leave the simple country life for the bright light of the big city . this be much evident in the scene in which gate and his wife ( greatly play by helen hunt in a small role ) arrive via a train . when gate say that his family ain not too comfortable around stranger his wife reply i be not a stranger and i be your wife . to which gate reply i wasn not talk about you . despite the over the top premise and then film spend it open act to develop the character and something that in todays special effect overdose and seem to have be greatly lose . the gate brother go on the usual hunt to find the killer . there be even some humor involve and a neeson and swayze banter well with each other . this be also a early starring role for ben stiller and who go on to make a string of forgettable formula comedy . the film also feature and in minor role and bill paxton a the ill fat gate brother and michael j. pollard and and andres katsulas a the mafia family head . the grand finale that take place in the grave yard be a little over the top . however and the final resolution between the family show the vengeance doesn not need to be take on the innocent bystander . and with the loss of his two brother and truman soon find himself at a cross road . if youre look for lawrence of arbia and keep look and because youre not go to find it here . if you be simply look for a movie that intend to do nothing more then be entertain for the viewer and this be perfect for you .
