I cant believe that this has so little attention on imdb, i dont know but i understood swayzes character and the whole family drama that was unfolding, and him wanting to set things right. i mean, what family hasnt at some point had to go through something similiar? i just thought it was a beautiful film and i dont understand how it has so little attention especially from swayze fans. its sad! this is defiently one of his better films and its not just some action junk with explosions, its a real human drama with a few familiar faces.

I truly second that! "T.W." is an entertainingly good, heartfelt drama with some good solid performances throughout. It's a real pity this film doesn't receive better treatment especially from Patrick's fan community. I suppose in a lot of people's minds "Dirty Dancing" had already set the bar considerably high, therefore the likes of this movie, "Steel Dawn", "Roadhouse" and "Next Of Kin" were always going to play a second fiddle to that blockbuster from '87. It's a shame because all of these movies should be viewed by their own individual artistic merits. They are all part of the arc of diversity during this period of Patrick's film career. "Tiger Warsaw" is definitely overdue some positive re-evaluation.
