Road House Full Movie Review

In a Doug Liman film, you can count on certain trademarks: epic action set pieces, breakneck pacing, and a central figure who embodies true heroism. 'Road House', drawing inspiration from the 1989 flick starring Patrick Swayze, doesn't hold back on the entertainment factor and remains a fun ride from beginning to end.

This gritty action thriller vividly illustrates the consequences of damaging the hyoid bone, with bone-cracking sounds punctuating the narrative. However, beneath its revenge-driven plot lies a thread of humanity, embodied by a father-daughter duo running a bookstore.

While the story line might seem straightforward and predictable, it's Liman's skillful direction that transforms it into a thoroughly enjoyable cinematic experience.

The plot of 'Road House' centres on Elwood Dalton (Jake Gyllenhaal), a former UFC fighter haunted by a violent incident in which he accidentally killed an opponent during a match. Struggling to move on from his past, Dalton still grapples with the weight of his reputation.

When Frankie (Jessica Williams), the owner of a roadhouse in Glass Keys, offers him a job as a bouncer, Dalton sees it as a chance for redemption. Frankie's primary concern is safeguarding her roadhouse from Ben Brandt (Billy Magnussen), who aims to replace it with a new concrete structure.

Dalton proves himself adept at his new role, but trouble arises when Knox (Conor McGregor), an associate of Ben's incarcerated father, enters the scene, unleashing a wave of violence.

It is evident that the film does not takes itself too seriously, and the screenplay of the film has been updated to resonate with today’s audience while preserving the essence of the original. It stays faithful to the original plot while injecting modern sensibilities. 

The fight sequences are expertly choreographed, lending an air of authenticity. Doug Liman demonstrates a keen understanding of the film's premise, despite its simplistic plot. With corrupt cops, drugs, a compassionate doctor, and a nearly super heroic protagonist, the film offers a exhilarating experience.

It's a roller coaster ride that doesn't leave much room for contemplation, with action and music dominating the screen and keeping viewers thoroughly engaged.

The film becomes compelling largely due to the presence of Jake Gyllenhaal. Known for his acting talent, Gyllenhaal seamlessly blends his acting prowess with thrilling action sequences, elevating the excitement level of the film. 

Portraying an ex-UFC fighter who maintains a quiet demeanour, he delivers a commendable performance, particularly shining in combat scenes opposite Conor McGregor when he is shirtless. 

However, it's Conor McGregor's appearance as Knox in the latter half that nearly steals the spotlight. The UFC champion makes a highly entertaining debut, adding an extra layer of excitement to the film.

'Road House' suffers from mediocre cinematography and subpar lighting, yet its compact plot, gripping action sequences, and a fierce performance by Jake Gyllenhaal compensate for these shortcomings. 

It epitomizes the archetype of countless films that flooded theatres in the 80s. Some films, like "Road House," are best enjoyed without overanalysing them. 

Their sole purpose is to deliver entertainment in any form, and 'Road House' fulfills this objective admirably. Gyllenhaal's portrayal of a philosophical man adept at hand-to-hand combat is reason enough to give it a watch.
