Thomas M The first road house was really good and cult classic. This pos they made was terrible! Beyond unrealistic with McGregor’s horrific acting skills if you could call those skills. Besides he just walking into a bar and assaulting everyone with a golf club and walking out alive is impossible. Mind you this crappy movie takes place in Florida with open gun carry law. That douche Mcgregor tried to pull that bs in real life he would’ve been shot in the face end of terrible movie. I also get hey is a movie not suppose to be realistic but what this guy gets away with during the movie he’s be facing life in jail. Not to mention the silly wardrobe pics. They gave up on making this movie even before the wrote the script if there even was one. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review LivingDeadGirl G I went in with low expectations, especially given my fondness for the original film starring Patrick Swayze and Sam Elliott. To my surprise, I found myself enjoying the movie on several levels. First off, I appreciated the storyline. The filmmakers struck a delicate balance by keeping the narrative similar enough to the original to maintain its essence, yet distinct enough to avoid being a mere copy. This approach allowed the new Roadhouse to stand on its own while paying homage to its predecessor. Jake Gyllenhaal's performance as Dalton was a pleasant surprise. Initially, I was skeptical about him stepping into such an iconic role, but he exceeded my expectations. Gyllenhaal brought a fresh yet fitting take to the character, capturing Dalton's toughness and charisma in a way that felt both respectful and innovative. However, Conor McGregor's performance was a major letdown. His acting was subpar, almost laughable at times, and his character did little to enhance the film. It’s baffling why anyone would cast him in such a significant role. His presence detracted from the overall experience and left me questioning the casting decisions. In summary, while the new Roadhouse succeeded in many areas, particularly with Gyllenhaal’s portrayal of Dalton, McGregor’s performance was a significant misstep. Despite this, the movie is worth watching for its fresh take on a classic story and Gyllenhaal’s performance. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Tom C Easily the worst movie I’ve seen in a while. Seriously can’t anyone develop characters, write a good story or even act anymore. Sorry I feel a little dumber now for having sat through the whole thing. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
