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 Consensus

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

Boring, I watched it all the way through because I am a cult fan of the original, and wanted to see if the film was as bad as EVERYONE I know who has seen it says it is. Yes, EVERY person, at least 10, who have seen it that I know personally dislikes this movie. It is not awful or cringeworthy, but this remake has the pacing of Driving Miss Daisy except during the fight scenes. These scenes themselves are fine, but never really innovative or exciting. The Florida Keys setting for this remake is also somewhat boring—the movie really makes no effort to lean into the possible beautiful location, and instead shows us a few rather unexciting sets. I truly believe the viewership for this movie is only as high as it is because so many loved the original, and had to give this one a chance. Amazon, please, don’t mistake those views for approval of this film.

This bar movie was pretty good. Jake Gyllenhaal, Conor McGregor, Daniela Melchior, Billy Magnussen, Jessica Williams, and the rest of the cast did a pretty good job in this movie. This remake of the original Road House movie was dramatic, intense, and crazy. It's about fighting to protect the people from greedy businessmen who want to take away their property. If you haven't seen this movie yet, you might enjoy it. It wasn't as good as the original but it was worth it.

If you're a fan let's just say it's trash. Like you. Not the cool kind. The kind of your imagination. The kind that doesn't age well. You know. The kind that smells awful and nobody wants to be around. Trash.

Terrible. The og jurassic park had better cgi and green screen and it came out in the 90s. Horrible script and fight scenes. Why ruin a classic with this terrible remake? This truly killed my hopes. It would never been as good as the og with Patrick swayze but, this... this was a huge let down. Was dumb mixture between Road House and Never Back Down

I enjoyed the movie, and it has been a long time since I saw the original. The story line was predictable pretty much all the way through. I thought it was a decent movie, but not sure I would watch it again.

This is a solid movie. Sometimes I think people expect more from movies than they're supposed to be. Decent story line, great fight sceens and subtle humor throughout. This movie isn't trying to be creed or an academy award winning movie. Its thoroughly entertaining and hits the mark in my opinion.

Doug Liman is not trying to make it anything bigger than it is. Road House is supposed to be a roadhouse action film.

Rated: B

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

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

Q Network Film Desk

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

It's wiser to steer clear of this remake and seek out decent entertainment elsewhere.

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.
