That's a good question and an actual line of dialogue in the movie.
KIN basically came and went w/o so much a peep in theaters;it cost $30M but only made $9M. It's not hard to see why on a narrative level as the film stumbles between crazy-weird science fiction/fantasy action and grounded family drama that gets surprisingly dark. The basic plot is that two brothers (one a white ex-con; the other a black teen) go on the run from a gangster (James Franco); meet a stripper (Kravitz); and encounter alien visitors.
Oh yeah and there's a space gun in the mix too. That gun looked cool and the cinematography is actually pretty good looking throughout the movie. The acting isn't bad. Jack Reynor and Myles Truitt have a nice brotherly rapport while James Franco is hamming it up as the sleazy …
