Road House Reviews
In spite of otherwise flat-looking film-making, the action choreography of Road House 2.0 is thoroughly enjoyable.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 17, 2024
Road House is an entertaining action remake of the 1989 original, which replicates that film’s dumb and over-the-top spirit with extra brawn that doesn’t make it smarter, but keeps it at a consistently mindless piece of trash that’s fun to watch.

Brandt clearly has access to money and his old man owns the cops, so plant some drugs or other incriminating evidence in Frankie's office. Do that, and a mostly naked Conor MacGregor doesn't even need to get involved.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 27, 2024
Clocking in at just shy of two hours, it’s at its best when it leans into the comedy of its narrative and stops short of aiming to beat all the bad guys, and a few good guys along with them, to a bloody pulp.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 27, 2024
2024’s Road House is likely the best thing that we could have gotten from an updated version of the 80s gem. It is not outstanding in every aspect, but it manages to throw some haymakers
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 25, 2024
This “Road House” is action-heavy and violent, with none of the one-liners and ludicrous character stuff for which the Swayze original is remembered fondly.

Forgettable and very camp, there’s something about Road House that isn’t just silly but entertaining because it is just so stupid.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 4, 2024
Road House feels more like a special pilot to a 온라인카지노추천 series than an actual theatrical film release, and while the movie can be fun, it can also be inconsistent in its narrative and visual choices.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 3, 2024
The modernized, grounded update of Road House is the one thing that the original isn’t: completely and utterly boring.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 2, 2024
Enter a whirlwind of testosterone-driven fun that serves up pleasure without -excessively- guilty hangovers. [Full Review in Spanish]

Just a real hootin’, hollerin’, bar-stompin’ good time.

Gone is the throat-ripping and the simmering homoeroticism that pulsated throughout the original, replaced by a competent if uninspired combination of mixed martial arts and conventional bar brawling.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 9, 2024
Swayze won’t roll in his grave, but he can rest soundly knowing this one pales in comparison to his original gem. Sometimes it’s best to leave it alone, even if the world of film received a gift wrapped bad guy in McGregor.
| Original Score: C | May 7, 2024
it has little ambition other than to outdo its predecessor, but there is some sense of integrity in its direct approach to the material, and you can’t help but enjoy watching Jake Gyllenhaal play the role of the steely, contrived, reluctant hero
| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 25, 2024
Doug Liman is not trying to make it anything bigger than it is. Road House is supposed to be a roadhouse action film.
| Original Score: B | Apr 24, 2024
It's wiser to steer clear of this remake and seek out decent entertainment elsewhere.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 18, 2024
Gyllenhaal brings a rush of adrenaline every time he is on screen. The film is bigger, self-aware, and occasionally funny, but it lacks the charm of the original.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 12, 2024
Between re-writing Dalton's backstory to ground him in some sort of familiar, modern-day realism and inventing a new fight choreography to enhance that "realism" - the film rejects the nucleus of what made Road House (1989) so incredibly fun.
| Original Score: D | Apr 11, 2024
The action is awesome, but its impact is greatly reduced by everything that surrounds it. The sum of all the parts simply makes this more of a forgettable movie than anything. It’s dumb fun, with equal parts dumb and fun.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 11, 2024
A wild ride of fightin’, spittin’, cussin’, and bone snappin’, this testosterone-fueled muscle movie is perfect for a weekend stream. The film works well because of its willingness to embrace its own over-the-top absurdity.
