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

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

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

Cannot understand how this got 60% from the critics. The filming and editing are so bad, let alone the script, can’t get past the first 30 minutes. Horrible remake! The version with Patrick Swayze is so much better!

It was a fun movie! Yeah the story had a few holes and ridiculous parts but let's be honest so did the first one (witch I also loved by the way) like when the cops showed up at the end and everyone said I didn't see anything and the cops where like oh ok see you all later and the Bigfoot seen was also stupid! I think people don't like it because it was not enough like the original. The key of enjoying this move is to think of it as a stand alone over the top action film

It had a few fun moments, and occasionally had a playfulness and lightheartedness that I enjoyed, but it was generally bad acting, bad writing, and just really immature and stupid.

Great fight scenes, but it's so dark barely can't see anything. Connor McGregor is a joke, Can't act. Why Doug Liman directing this movie is far from my understanding. Everything seems so cartoonish. Overall really boring (and I didn't watch the original one to compare)
