Watching a movie with Greg Alba must be like traveling with kids... Like, "Are we there yet, dad? Are we there? How much longer..? What time it is? Are we there yet??" :S

[@guetetepgue]

Everyone was expecting this supposed to be MMA movie but we only get that in glimpse of flashback lol

[@shawnwilliams9689]

I've been a fan of you guys for years. Plus I'm a movie fanatic myself. I see you guys enjoyed the original Road House. I'm suggesting another overlooked hidden gem you guys should check out. I grew up being a huge Van Damme fan and this is probably the best Sheldon Lettich directed movie not starring him. It's called Only the Strong starring Mark Dacascos. You can find it on Max. FYI he also played Eric Draven on the Crow television series following the film.

[@deadn00b1]

Fun Fact: The Cinematographer who shot this movie is Henry Braham, who shot GOTG Vol. 2 & 3 and The Suicide Squad and he did pretty well with the fights though the directing and editing in some scenes were a bit weird looking

[@Brook11223]

He is also going to be the cinematographer for Superman film directed by James Gunn.

[@cjstats1514]

I mean, after 100 years of film every movie you can go back and find something similar. There's room for original and remakes. I like it all.

[@gabrielleroux2333]

That’s a huge hyperbole

[@Illvester42]

bellyaching about reboots, remakes, and sequels sure as hell is unoriginal 😉

[@AzulApe]

Honestly I am cool with remakes which do enough differences. Such as Disturbia and Rear Window.

[@ZaOnly420]

Not gonna stop me from watching it . There so many movies made 30 or 40 years ago that could have been so much better if they were made with today's technology

[@Brook11223]

The best part is Dalton driving the thugs to the hospital. I just laughed so hard. Garrett Warren choreographed the heck out of every fight scene. If you watch the behind the scenes that's on youtube it's like a magic trick with Warren setup up this crazy yet clever system of how to create a brawl fight.

[@rayvinkrossing]

I adore the decision to make Dalton an actual psychopath 😂, and i love that Knox seems to sense it in a way. That's what i think the "there's something wrong with you" moment means.

[@Eshayladdayones]

Dalton is the complete opposite of a psychopath.

[@darmaster88]

He's not a psychopath though, psychopaths take pleasure in harming others and causing trouble. He just has anger issues

[@MH3Raiser]

Yeah, it's more like Dalton has self imposed limits because he's distraught over killing a friend. But that also shows that without those rules... he's an animal. So focused on survival and winning he'd kill a friend in a frenzy. The main difference between Knox and Dalton isn't self awareness, it's guilt for the consequences of their actions. They're both perfectly willing and able to kill other people, but Dalton is very aware that letting that side of him run rampant just causes pain for the people he cares about. Knox just cares about himself, so it's a moot point: he has no limits. It's why Dalton apologizes to Ellie after killing Knox despite all he's done. In his eyes, he hasn't moved forwards even one step: he's gone backwards into the killing frenzy. Thats why Charlie's last line is so important. Sure, we can see Dalton as the hero: he saved the Road House, rescued Ellie and gave Brant's ill gotten gains to Charlie and Steven. But he's also killed 6 people, which is ironically more than we see Knox kill for the entire film. So he's a hero, but one that carries the weight of his own shame to protect others. Gyllenhaal has confirmed he's returning to play Dalton in a sequel, so hopefully we'll get to see the conclusion of thar arc there.

[@X-Reload-X]

If he was a psychopath he would’ve not taken those guys to hospital or cared about hurting people, he just has a breaking point of anger, him and his roadhouse friends got fucked with too much and after too much he lost his cool and his character once u cross it that line seeing red and no holds barred will happen

[@codyt821]

The plot of Roadhouse couldn't be less simple guys, c'mon. Bad guy has the town under his thumb, wants the road house for the property so he can tear it down and build a resort, Dalton comes to town to stop said bad guy and his goons from taking over the Roadhouse. That's literally it. It's a classic western story archetype. Idk if you are just overthinking it or what Greg.

[@aaronbethom8166]

Agreed

[@benjaminfaulknor9588]

I feel like the relationship with the music was missing. I feel a connection with the music in the original cause we have the friendship between Dalton and the leader of the band which for me deepened the connection with the music in the film making it a more intimate part of the story. In this there are multiple bands and we have no idea who they are or what they’re about and that might’ve been what was missing Greg?

[@mynameisnoonesbusiness4488]

Oh, that’s what I was afraid of. Canadian here… Thanks for preparing me.

[@pinkertonlady]

I totally agree! The soundtrack is so integral to the original and this could have had any music subbed in and it would not matter

The roadhouse owner's acting was horrible... Character development was ehhhhh...And the movie got a little out of hand (as expected) but it was entertaining and Jake/Conner did great. 7/10

[@gymresolution]

It was a 6.5/10 for me. I found Conor McGregor painful to watch. His line delivery was abysmal-like Ronda Rousey bad. Jake Gyllenhaal hard carried the film.

[@TheCamz2003]

8/10

[@JeremyCarpenter-o4k]

4.

[@stephensporman8206]

5/10 mediocre at best. Subpar acting and dialogue and a lot of unnecessary CGI as well. I totally understand why Amazon wanted this as streaming only. Would've felt like a ripoff seeing this in theaters

[@botz77]

Doug Liman also directed 'Go' which I think needs a bit of love from younger generations. Great movie and soundtrack.

[@Iwillone]

I honestly don’t know what people want if a fun movie like this is critiqued like it was supposed to be a masterpiece of cinema.

[@ygkemosabi8280]

because they still do stuff good and bad.... and the bad is easily fixable...

[@Brook11223]

You had Mixed Martial Arts fighter in this and the original you had Terry Funk the wrestler battling Dalton which was so good. Also Dalton vs. Marshal Teague's character where Marshall is a real-life martial artist. In the I Am Patrick Swayze documentary Marshall talked about not being impressed by him due to him having a dance background but once he saw Patrick do that back spin kick clean on his face he had mad respect for him.

[@bigd4998]

Great review as always... I really enjoyed the movie...didn't think I would but surprised me... Reminds me I did some work a few years back in Northern Wisconsin and it's funny how there the local coffee shop was called "The Coffee Shop"...local law firm..."The Law Firm"...local gas company..."The Gas Company"...I kid you not...very nice and welcoming people...I actually do miss that place... Thanks again...

[@michaeljeacock]

the thing with Conor is people who start as actors normally work their way up to big movies and you hardly see their early work whereas celebrities from other fields who move over to acting have their early work out there for all to see. look at Arnie (bodybuilder) as you said, early Rock (wrestler)movies or Vinnie Jones (soccer player) in lock stock, gone in 60 seconds and his iconic role as juggernaut. now they are all reasonably good actors.

[@ericraymond3652]

Enjoyed it, but I think it would have worked better as a sequel: like Jake was Swayze' son, happen to have learned from his father to fight. Dad died in a stupid bar fight and Jack choose to go throught the MMA road. So, being offered to be a "bouncer" for the Road House would have make is life full circle, taking the mantle of his father in the end. Different place, same job, than Great sequel for a 30 years old movie... :)

[@Brook11223]

Such a good film and it has similarities to the original 1989 film. You really have that Silent Warrior type character with few words similar to Patrick Swayze's Dalton and the mysterious past to Dalton what really happened which we get to see while the original film you see Dalton talk about it with Wade Garrett not showing what really happened. With Knox he has that similar personality to Marshall Teague's character but Knox is more unhinged by making the character little different. Funny thing is the original film had a direct to video sequel called "Road House 2: Last Call" which is a forgettable film that doesn't get talked about and Patrick Swayze was asked to reprise the role but opted not to return for not liking the script and his character gets killed off with a weird flashback of sorts.

[@MynameisStewa]

There is a post credit scene surprisingly in this film

[@thedarknesscallingme]

Conor wasnt acting, the cameras were just filming his day to day life and they decided to build the movie around him.

[@gravic00]

[@alextoumazou2812]

Trust me, the fight scene with the bikers. A hard slap can hurt significantly more than a hard punch. It is a different type of pain. I'm not saying punches are not painful but slaps can be absolutely brutal if you put force behind it. You see those slap tournaments they do and the damage you can do to someones face with just a couple of slaps is insane. I don't think this movie should be compared to the original that movie was amazing, but this is a great movie in it's own right

[@BloodDjimon614]

The originsl roadhouse is essentially 2 distinct films. Everything with Swayze, Kelly Lynch, the bar, and Sam Elliot is Dirty Dancing, then every cutaway to the villians is a bad episode of Dukes of Hazzard. At points it feels like they filmed and wrote an entire Dirty Dancing style film about a "cooler" then added the other parts afterwards in reshoots to make it more of an 80s action film. Seeing as one of the writers only other credit is the awful Steven Seagal movie Out for Justice, I'm pretty sure that's actually what happened.

[@josephaaron4985]

I was cautiously optimistic about this movie. The trailer looked fine, but certain things made me nervous for it. Then I watched it the day it dropped, last Thursday as of typing this. Since then, I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I honestly didn't think I'd enjoy this movie as much as I did and now I'm getting up the consideration to get back into martial arts training. I can't believe how much better this movie gets with each viewing. I loved Patrick Swayze's original and I never thought it could be remade. I still love the '89 original, but Goddamn do I enjoy the shit out of this new one. Gyllenhaal is a fucking BEAST!

Talking about Jake's bulging abs i think its partly because of the writers strike. When you look at the pics from the UFC press conference his abs weren't protruding so much. He said in an interview he had to stay in that shape for way longer than planned because filming stopped and he had no idea when it would start again so Jake continued to work out and eventually he got steroid bloat 😅

[@josefbideno2217]
