Movie Info & Cast

Synopsis

A crime thriller with a sci-fi twist, Kin, is the feature directorial debut of brothers Jonathan and Josh Baker based on their short film Bag Man. It’s the story of Eli (Myles Truitt), the adopted little brother of recently released ex-con Jimmy (Jack Reynor) who stumbles upon a strange-looking weapon in what appears to be an abandoned building. When Jimmy is dragged back into the criminal world by a nasty associate from his pre-prison life (James Franco), his little brother decides to come to his rescue with his new weapon. But the powerful weapon soon attracts unwanted attention, and the brothers find themselves running from Jimmy’s old associates, federal agents, and “otherworldly soldiers.” Also starring Zoe Kravitz, Dennis Quaid and Carrie Coon.

Movie was good. Having the main character as a little boy I was inclined to take my 7 year old to see this movie only to be asked 1000 questions when they went to the strip club in the movie. But I would recommend this movie based on the snippet of a storyline they showed.

Kin is insufferable, self-seriously combining shut-in nerdiness with wannabe macho pyrotechnics. It’s Bro Cinema in all the worst imaginable senses of the term.

For a movie centered on brotherhood, it’s remarkably empty of any sense of kinship.

At times dull and plodding and at other times cartoonishly silly, Kin rarely works and, when it does, it’s often for the wrong reasons.
