Jake Gyllenhaal Happily Punches in ‘Road House’

Doug Liman’s needless remake of the Patrick Swayze movie is unexpectedly good.

It’s all very nice, complementing Dalton’s relaxed, polite way of moving through the world. Sure, he’s a former MMA brawler with a troubled past . But he’s so cute and affable.

I would love to see Gyllenhaal work softer most of the time, but I suppose that Road House is a kind of compromise. There is, at least, an accessible strain of vulnerability here, even if Dalton is a near-Terminator in his impervious ability to do harm. In the film, Dalton goes toe to toe with some local mooks working for the bratty son of a petty crime lord, a boat-loving ponce played with effective slime by Billy Magnussen.
