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.
Sounds pretty good. Perhaps it shouldn’t be compared with the original Road House.
I sure didn’t agree with the author’s opinion of that movie at all. It’s a classic.
How do you beat Patrick Swayze and Sam Elliot kicking ass with Jeff Healey playing his awesome licks?
I’ll keep my eye open for the new Road House though.
