Editorial Reviews

When a young drifter is drawn into the dark world of a psychopath, he soon learns that, sometimes, excitement can have deadly consequences. Matt Dillon (There's Something About Mary, Drugstore Cowboy) and Andrew McCarthy (Mulholland Falls, St. Elmo's Fire) star in this taut suspense story packed with action, intrigue and powerful performances. An engrossing tale of small-time crime, Kansas is a big-time thriller you won't want to miss! Slick scam artist Doyle Kennedy (Dillon) has yet another con on his mind as he helps down-on-his-luck wanderer Wade Corey (McCarthy) hop a speeding freight train. Kennedy's been looking for a partner in crime, and hes determined to take Corey along for the ride. But though Corey finds the danger and adventure into xicating at first, he soon realizes he could be looking at some serious jail time – or worse – unless he finds a way out fast!

Though this is a drama, I found it to be funny, especially Matt Dillon's character. His acting was great, but you can't help but like his character and laugh because he's so greasy and slick. It has its obviously humorous parts, but it is classic 80s, and for that I love it. If you're from Kansas, you realize combines don't go that slow when farming and it was shot for effect. Great scenery and it captures small town ideals and life. Not an Oscar award winning picture, but a nice one to watch with friends, while relaxing with an alcoholic drink. BTW, Matt Dillon is pretty hot in the movie too.

This is the perfect sleeping pill: a movie with every cliche in the book about love, heroes, etc etc. Matt Dillon is so much better than this.
