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 Jack Martin 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 Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Pete Vonder Haar 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 Jul 27, 2024 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer 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 Jul 27, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Jay W This movie seems to exist in some sort of 8-Bit Nintendo game. Something like "River City Ransom", the type of game where everyone wants to beat up the player. And much like an old video game, it can be a lot of fun, but doesn't have much of a story to go along with it. Conor McGregor acts as the big boss battle of this video game movie. And he is having a grand old time acting as crazy over the top as possible. For that matter, everyone, including the extras, seem to be having a fun time making this film. Shoutout to Dell, as one of the henchmen, he may have been my favorite character. Crazy people, but maybe accurate to Florida. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Birithivy Y Road House - 7.5/10. Granted, I’ve never watched the original, so I’m talking from the perspective of only having this film as context. And also, this might be a movie that I would enjoy more than others. But I don’t care, I enjoyed this to some extent! This is probably the most unserious movie of this year. Is that a good thing? I would say so. This could’ve easily gone down a more serious note, but I liked the fact they bought into this goofy/comical side of the hyper violence in the film. Jake Gyllenhaal, as usual, is great here. He’s the presence that makes a movie that should be god awful into somewhat good. The action scenes are shot and presented in this kinetic and haywire nature, helping deliver a flowing nature for the action throughout. The movie gets a bit over the top, but its done so in a smart manner. It heightens the somewhat Looney Tunes nature of the violence of the movie, and though the story takes its self seriously for the most part, you also can’t help but laugh at some of the jokes and gags that happen within the violence and action. Also, Connor McGregor is hilariously over the top here too. Bad performance, but the man knows to play goofy and over the top with a wild side to things. Entertaining yet somewhat good movie! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review zachary w If you liked the original road house then there’s high chances you’ll like this new one as well! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/10/24 Full Review Renaldo D Great choreography, and interesting actions. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/10/24 Full Review Diana V I think it is a pretty good movie. It has good action, some funny parts. A little Romance & Good acting. I enjoyed it..Dont understand why it had some bad reviews. Jake Gylanhal is a good actor. JD Pardo was a good actor also but he wasn't in this movie long enough. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review Audience Member The story is not that bad, aside from being unrealistic, goofy, and having multiple logical holes. The choreography was fine up until the second half, when they started cutting the scenes every other second. I liked the pacing, and the protagonist was charming; I enjoyed his conversations most of the time, despite his out-of-place backstory. The cinematography wasn't bad either; the colors were almost always nice to watch—not in my top 10, but not bad either. Overall, it felt like a nice movie to watch while lying back and enjoying a nice meal or some snacks. If it weren't for the plot holes and subpar directing, I would have given it a higher rating. Worth a watch? Depends on you... Worth a rewatch? No. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
