The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

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.

This film has decent camp value, which is actually helped by the passage of time, because it is now even more evident how ridiculous early-90s fashion was. Hence, the villain with the T-shirt of his own picture (which was actually a fad back then) is even more hilarious. Also, Evans took chances with creative camera shots and sound, and they paid off. This movie simultaneously pays homage to, and makes fun of, movies like Beverly Hills Cop...although Slater is not as funny or personable as Eddie Murphy. Jovovich, on the other hand, came across as very sweet and endearing, and looked very pretty...I wish she got more screen time. Hard to believe that was 20 years ago; she's aged well!You should focus on the film's irony to really appreciate its value. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither should you. However, in the end, there were too many mediocre and unfunny (even in an ironic way) lines and moments to justify recommending that you spend time watching this movie. If you do get dragged into watching it, however, you probably won't hate it. It's just...okay.For more reviews and a kickass podcast, check out www.livemancave.com

If the rather quirky and unique screen personality of Christian Slater is not your cup of tea, than I'd stay away from Kuffs. Reading the film credits before writing this review I learned that Kuffs was written specifically for Slater. I can't see anyone else this role of George Kuffs, amiable high school dropout who can't get his life together and is sponging off his big brother Bruce Boxleitner.Boxleitner is a patrol specialist, an institution dating from the days of the Forty Niners and unique unto San Francisco. There were not enough police to enforce any semblance of law and order in a town that just mushroomed over night. The city fathers assigned specific areas to people to enforce law and order and Boxleitner has one of those districts.But in his area, the merchants are being harassed and extorted and he's being offered a huge bribe to sell his district to some really nasty people. When he doesn't Boxleitner is killed and Christian Slater inherits his job. Despite some really gaping holes in the plot, the film is really carried along quite nicely by Christian Slater. Others in the cast of note are Milla Jovavich as his pregnant girlfriend, Leon Rippy as the hood who murdered Boxleitner and Tony Goldwyn as the SFPD officer assigned to Slater to keep him from getting killed.Still Kuffs is strictly a Christian Slater show and his fans will absolutely love it.

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.
