What to Know

Critics Consensus

Road House updates a cult classic for a new generation, happily replicating the original's emphasis on cheesy brawn over narrative brains.

Audience Says

Road House can sometimes be so bad it's good, but more often, the uneven acting and ridiculous story are just disappointing.

Christina Newland iNews.co.uk In spite of otherwise flat-looking film-making, the action choreography of Road House 2.0 is thoroughly enjoyable. Rated: 3/5 Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Rafer Guzman Newsday The gonzo magic of the 1989 original is gone, but there’s enough bone-breaking action here to satisfy B-movie aficionados. Rated: 3/4 Apr 8, 2024 Full Review Philip De Semlyen Time Out The combination of Gyllenhaal’s easy charm, some Florida sunshine and at least one fight scene for the ages make this Road House worth stopping by. Just try to grab a seat in a quiet corner. Rated: 3/5 Apr 1, 2024 Full Review Stephen Garrett Book & Film Globe As with many movies where a paper-thin premise quickly collapses by the end—and just like the 1989 Road House itself—this new Road House gets more joyously absurd as it goes along. Rated: 4/5 Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Anthony Whyte The Movie Blog Look, this movie isn’t trying to win Oscars. It’s here to entertain you with a healthy dose of action, humor, and Florida weirdness. If you’re looking for a film with a plot tighter than a boa constrictor’s grip, this might not be it. Rated: 8/10 Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Sammie Purcell Rough Draft Atlanta It’s not perfect, or really even great, by any means, but it does fit comfortably into the oeuvre of the trashy, Florida cinema canon, with all the sweaty, goofy action that entails.

Randy B. Great action but the movies finish is lackluster. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/05/25 Full Review James L Lots of action, acting mediocre, if you want entertainment and action here it is, Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/30/25 Full Review Pongo K Off to a dull start, but it picks up. Not the greatest movie, but entertaining enough. I enjoyed it, so, c it! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/29/25 Full Review a m Lots of action, poor storyline. But what really bothered me was, why have a movie with a sex offender in a lead role? Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/26/25 Full Review Christopher J Not worth the time it took to watch. Total horse cr*p. This would have been better if they used it to lite a fire. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/25/25 Full Review Kandis W. I will say one of the best slap/opening fight scenes since Power Rangers if I’m being honest Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/15/25 Full Review Read all reviews
