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.

In spite of otherwise flat-looking film-making, the action choreography of Road House 2.0 is thoroughly enjoyable.

Rated: 3/5

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.

Film Feeder

Road House is an entertaining action remake of the 1989 original, which replicates that film’s dumb and over-the-top spirit with extra brawn that doesn’t make it smarter, but keeps it at a consistently mindless piece of trash that’s fun to watch.

Rated: 3/5

Houston Press

Brandt clearly has access to money and his old man owns the cops, so plant some drugs or other incriminating evidence in Frankie's office. Do that, and a mostly naked Conor MacGregor doesn't even need to get involved.

Rated: 3/5

We Live Entertainment

Clocking in at just shy of two hours, it’s at its best when it leans into the comedy of its narrative and stops short of aiming to beat all the bad guys, and a few good guys along with them, to a bloody pulp.

Rated: 6/10

This movie is utter garbage. This doesnt have any closeness to the original. Jake Gyllenhaal tried his best in a lack luster film. I would rather watch 2 rats screwing in a wool sock than to ever watch this movie again. I would watch the original with Patrick Swayze any day. RIP Mr. Swayze.

Not the flair and excitement of the first one, but still enough action, and very well executed & choreographed action at that. Story seems thinner and cast feels not very convincing. Great cast but in lacks in character. A bit disappointed, expected more ... but still watchable

No, I like Jake Gyllenhaai, but mistake to make this movie. The original Roadhouse I find clearly better!

Superb casting, acting, writing, setting, and weaving of comedic elements throughout with marvelous pacing. Finally saw Swayze as Dalton (GenX from late 60s but never got around to it before), and it made me come back and watch this Dalton again. Loved this film both times. Few films are worth watching more than once (imo), let alone within about a year.

This is what i see as entertainment. Just a fun, cool looking fight movie with a pretty good story behind it. Connor McGregor wasn't the best choice but i can see why they casted him. Also i never watched the original so don't know if that would change my opinion on this movie but i would say it's a fun watch.
