Kansas works the best whenever Matt Dillon appears because of his magnetic personality; otherwise, the movie has nothing.
There are similarities between Doyle Kennedy and Fred Frenger of Miami Blues as they're of
the same cloth: engaging, dominating, and personable yet eccentric and psychopathic.
On the other hand, the poor Andrew McCarthy can't carry the weight on his back when he's left unattended. His scenes with
Leslie Hope are weak to muster any care from me. Each time a conflict arises, they both fail to make something out of nothing.
That's why Matt Dillon is a gifted actor.
All in all, because of Matt Dillon, Kansas has enough energy to keep up my interest throughout.
