Slater in a tailor-made role

Christian Slater is the ne'er-do-well, yet the impressionalbly

hip title character in this decent action comedy. George Kuffs

is a high school drop out who decides to take over his dead

brother's police patrol and to avenge his death. Kuffs stumbles

his way to find to his brother's killers and manages to make a

real image of himself. Slater is fine as Kuffs, whose constant

joking around might have irritated the folks around him, but his

humor really paid off, in this comedy flick that might remind a

few Slater fans of his other avenger movie, "Gleaming the Cube,"

except "Kuffs" is way funnier and more good
