What Comes Around is a 1985 film written and directed by Jerry Reed. Plot-wise it's nothing extraordinary and the movie contains a lot of the things you'd expect to see in a Jerry Reed film, like fist fights and a least one car chase. The movie is about a country music star named Joe Hawkins (played by Reed) who is kept on a steady diet of dugs and alcohol by his manger Leon. When Joe's brother Tom sees him collapse backstage during a concert, he takes it upon himself to get his older brother clean. A little while later Tom, with the help of a couple friends, discovers that Leon has been ducking the IRS, using Joe's name on businesses that Joe sees no money from, and has embezzled $8,000,000. After showing this to Joe they decide to confront Leon... and also drive a big rig through the restaurant he owns. Honestly, I wish more problems could be solved this way.
Is What Comes Around a fantastic film? No, but I enjoy it for what it is and if you like movies like Smokey and the Bandit, High-Ballin', and Concrete Cowboys then this is right up your alley.
I give it a 3 out of 5.
