When asked why it comes down to the original Roadhouse is a guy flick, which means it has T&A in it, the only T&A in the new version is of Connor McGregor's butt. Also the film climax can be seen a mile away.
So I don't see this film being watched more that once by guys. Notice the reviewer is assumed to be a female.
I’m, still, waiting for Rollergator 2. It was promised.
It was entertaining enough. Jake Gyllenhaal is super hot, so gals will like it!
Him apoligizing at the end, that was stupid,and typical pc. I was waiting for the gal and leo to say f yeah!
I thought the film was good enough. To me, Jake and the new girlfriend were just ok. But what sold the film to me was Conor McGregor. It took about 58 minutes for him to make his first appearance in the movie and it was literally a laugh out loud moment. I would tell people to go ahead and watch it.
Gyllenhaal the man kisser, and the only nudity is a man’s ass? Thanks, I’ll pass.
And it’s actually. . . good? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I enjoyed the movie on Amazon Prime.
I will watch it again.
Its an AMerican version of a Chinese Kung Fu movie.The theme similar to a Chinese monsatic Shaloin monk working hard to keep his temper and transcend his natural pattern of anger.
I just get a kick out of the Buddhist Monk mindfulness of
the main character who fights against losing his own temper.
He loses in that battle and we witess the results. Which are actually good.
oof the story. “Anger from the hell realm can do good.”
BUt he does not get the girl and he does not get to dwell happily ever after in the promised land because of his explosive anger.
Very Oriental style morality play without the usual tits and ass.Jake Gyllenhaal and Conner McGregor do a bang up job.
My favorite scene is where Jake ges up to a guy with a gun who pulls it from his waist band and Jake brakes his finger so he can’t hold the gun. I found that funny as all get out.
Saw the trailer last night and marked it for later watching - hard to find movies worth the time so anything with even a small promise of entertainment goes on the list.
I turned it off after I realized they race and gender swapped the bar owner from a white guy to a black girl. Sorry, but I’m tired of that crap.
I just saw this yesterday. I thought it was going to be awful, but it was actually pretty good.
The new Road House was terrible, and I like Jake Gylennhal, so I was certainly open to this remake. I gave it a fair chance, but it is certainly hitting checkboxes on casting choices. It takes place in the Florida Keys, which on first impressions I thought the film was taking place in West Africa.
Conor McGregor was a terrible, just absolutely terrible choice for lead henchman. He walks around naked with this stupid grin on his face during most of his screen time, and the fight scenes are nothing but jump cuts and sped up frames. You can tell there wasn’t any choreography for the fights.
The story wasn’t really a remake of Road House, it was more similar to Steven Seagals’ Fire Down Below, where there is this ‘Son of the Boss’ that keeps sending his goons to the bar, more and more goons, that keep failing. It was all just dumb. The original Road House was like a guy running an extortion protection racket on all the businesses in town, and had compelling acting, that’s why it’s a classic. This new one will be forgotten in a month.
We watched it. Didn’t care for it, in particular that guy running around naked showing his rear end, which must have been a treat for homos watching it.
On to positive side, the scenery was ok and the little bookstore girl was charming. Aside from that it sucked.
Hollywood cannot do remakes very well.
It was ok.
Leftist takes on American culture are subversive.
It’s hot garbage. Turned it off after 20 minutes. For one thing, at least a third of the dialog is the f word. And predictably, it’s like the rest of script seems to have been written by a 12 year old.
Women using the f word is probably one of the biggest turn offs.
The PC casting is kinda stupid.
But the stupidest thing about this movie (which is basically one giant fight) is the main character saying “no one wins a fight” and then proceeds to dominate by ………….winning fights…….
Stop giving your money to Hollywood box checkers.
