Crappy film

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Kuffs is a proof that Christian Slater has loads of charisma and it is shocking he never became a bigger star than he was back in the 90s. He plays a lovable yet dorky cop straight out of school. This is a fun little film starring future action heroine Milla Jovovich as his girlfriend who is pregnant. The flow of the film is quite good and it never overstays its welcome. Kuffs is a welcome addition to anyone seeking early 90s unknown or relegated films and should give anyone who watches a rush of nostalgia.

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.

George Kuffs didn't finish high-school, just lost his job and his girlfriend who still is in college is pregnant.Since he can't see how he can support her, he thinks she is better off without him.So he visits his elder brother, Brad, to squeeze him for a loan so he can go to Brazil where there's a gold-rush going on.Unfortunately Brad is killed and George is suddenly the owner of Brad's "patrol special" district....Depending on how much you can tolerate Christian Slater, is how much you will enjoy this film. I went to see this at the movies, and even then when I were 14, there were points i wish i could have broken the fourth wall and slapped him.The mugging at the camera is an okay idea, and many of the demographic that this film is aimed at, would have found it fresh and quite endearing, as an actor was involving them in the movie and the plot.But thats my only gripe because the film is witty and part from the story, it's quite an original movie, with a good script. Slater is good as the titular characters, but like I said before, if you were not aged between the ages 13-18 in 1992, will find this film hard to like.Original parts of the movie are having profanity beeped, so the killer line will be funnier, having the bad guys clothing become a character in itself, and a running gag involving turkey cooking.Kuffs even has hi own 'Axel F' music.It's early nineties cheese and the type of movie you should watch with rose coloured specs, because watching the film nearly twenty years later, George Kuffs isn't the cool guy I once thought he was.Still a funny film though.

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.
