Don't miss our Road House 2024 review! Reviewed by Rafael Motamayor, narrated by Mark Medina.
Road House trades '80s earnest silliness with a Saturday-morning-cartoon tone that manages – barely – to overcome its flaws. The original’s bouncer-versus-businessman plot is refashioned and almost given some thematic weight, pitting a charismatic Jake Gyllenhaal against a feral Conor McGregor. (Not that you can really see them going head to head amidst the murky cinematography and computer-generated fisticuffs.) This is the movie equivalent of a band performing at a seedy bar while drunks chuck bottles at the stage’s chicken-wire barrier. You can hear some cool music if you really try, but everything is working against it.
