time is given to the people at the bar. One of the highlights of the Swayze movie was him getting to know the staff and getting rid of the bad elements at the bar. Nothing of the sort goes on in this movie.
Jaoquim de Almeida is wasted as the sheriff and has little to do while Daniela Melchior has less of a role than Kelly Lynch had in the original if that was possible.
The movie’s saving grace is Jake Gyllenhaal who is clearly having a lot of fun in the role and has good chemistry with an OTT Conor McGregor in the movies best moments. Best stick to the original cult classic.
(Glad to see Arturo Castro’s Moe live, by far and away the best character in the whole movie).
I was expecting a fun action movie, and it started well. Jake is great (as youd expect), and so are most of the supporting cast.
There are also some fun moments and lines. But then Conor Mcgregor turns up and it goes down hill fast. He really can’t act, and just stomps around spouting cringe one liners that he can’t pull off. You’d also expect at least his fight scenes to be good, but they weren’t.
With another actor in the Mcgregor role this could have been a great action movie.
The fight scenes are hit and miss with some looking very fake with some bad cgi at times too. In fact the cgi is pretty poor in general.
Ok fact: remakes suck.
Going into this, I wanted to hate it. Remake of an 80’s classic and Jake G? Recipe for disaster. But….. this is a remake in name only. Fresh story, the only connection to the original is he’s a bouncer for hire. I’ll admit it, this stands up on its own.
For lack of anything better to watch I gave this a shot. Color me surprised but I enjoyed the heck out of it. No agenda, just an old school action movie. Now the AI/CGI was nothing short of terrible, but if you look past that this movie embodies the old school Western movies it clearly mimics (and references several times, a bit on the nose).
Was I entertained? Yup. Was it Oscar worthy? No, but I’ll take entertaining over Oscar Worthy every time.
Give it a shot, you may just enjoy yourself.
I don’t understand the bad reviews for this. It’s a film that doesn’t take itself too seriously and it’s obvious literally from the very beginning that it’s self-aware. It knows how to laugh at itself with its over the top fight scenes and at times bad and cheesy dialogue or even the constant wild music being played in the background. Even the way Conor Mcgregor walked and talked was not serious in itself.
I mean come on, it’s impossible to hate on a film like this. Sure, some movies that don’t take themselves seriously can still be very bad, but this one was actually pretty alright if you don’t compare it to the original or just go into it with lower expectations. I’d definitely recommend this as a fun popcorn action flick if you’re bored.
Casting felt very forced which pulls you out of the story. Jake does a good job. Some of the fighting scenes were interesting. You could tell this was a very new Hollywood update of a classic movie. Some of the dialogue needed work.
McGregor was also an odd choice. His permanent smiling expressions and him walking like he had hemorrhoids was very hard to move past. Sometimes you couldn’t understand what he was even saying.
Overall the movie was fun and if youre looking for a time killer its an okay option but I would probably just stick to the classic movie where the story and characters feel less contrived.
This Road House remake had its parallels to the original but put a totally different spin on it to create a completely fresh story. The bad guy, like the original, was a businessman in a suit, but the climactic showdown was against UFC fighter Conor McGregor’s Knox.
The fight between Dalton and Knox at the end is one of my favorites in recent history. Jake Gyllenhaal only had a few kick ass scenes since most of the remake focused on Dalton’s internal struggle to a past traumatic event that wasn’t explored in the original. In all, I liked this Road House just about as much as the original, and I strongly recommend this to all action fans.
Don’t expect a gripping story line with lots of twists and turns to keep you hooked. The great thing about this movie was the back to basics “movies are for entertainment”. It was fun.
Sure the story line was a little flat, but this is a typical tough guy taking on the bad guys. Full of action, well coordinated fight scenes and some great cast members – Jake Gyllenhaal never fails to make a good character. Conor McGregor was also brilliant!
Personally I loved it – a bit silly, a little cringey at times but overall an enjoyable watch, with good humour and something you could watch again, cause it doesn’t matter that you know what happens. You knew anyway!
Everything about this film is exactly what you should not do. The acting is terrible by everyone, including JG. It is cliche. Every actor’s voice/breath is disconnected.
The direction is terrible; oh Doug Liman, how far you’ve fallen.
The editing is terrible, but maybe the editor tried their best with what they were given. There is nothing gritty about this film. This is masturbatorial film.
Watch the original film. It’s great. It’s not a masterpiece either, but it’s fun and kind of supposed to be a bit lower budget pulp fiction (genre not film). Everyone from Swayze to Sam Elliot are awesome in it.
Don’t think of it like the original with Swayze – they’ve only really used the name “Road House” to add to the marketing of the movie and draw attention. It’s a different movie and simply for fun!
Not every film has to make headlines. Sometimes they just need to be entertaining.
Just sit back with some popcorn and enjoy this one. I certainly did!
