A jacked-up Jake Gyllenhaal and surprisingly good Conor McGregor deliver entertaining fight scenes in remake of iconic ’80s movie.
We’re talking about the remake of “Road House,” an action-packed guilty pleasure that takes off once a particular person arrives to flex his muscles.
Don’t get me wrong, what transpires up to his arrival is interesting enough, but not so much as to convince us a redo of the classic 1989 guilty pleasure with Patrick Swayze was necessary. It’s at the midway point when McGregor shows up and unleashes his inner beast that “Road House” comes out fighting and never stops.
Everyone onboard this Amazon Prime movie seems to be in on the joke that this is hardly an Oscar contender, including fleet-footed Gyllenhaal. McGregor’s cheeky performance leads to a cacophony of bloody, outrageous fights with Brandt.
