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.

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

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

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

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.

Good exciting package; story line not so original. At least punching/kicking looked more real and technical than rocky movies.

Wow! It's very different to the original Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze, but also very, very cool. It's more violent, less stylish, but it's got its great characters to confront each other and plenty of scenery to accompany the story. What I don't understand is the fact that this flick never made it into our cinemas last year, and now on cable it appeared on AMC, a very low grade channel which normally shows only old stuff. Anyway, I enjoyed it, as I do most movies along a storyline where the "Lone Ranger" takes on the bad guys and cleans out the bad guys from the area. A bit too rough for my taste, but quite enjoyable, especially as I like Jake Gyllenhaal. 7/10 points!

Lots of action, poor storyline. But what really bothered me was, why have a movie with a sex offender in a lead role?
