Road House

Watchable trash 6/10

Yeah it was pretty bad. Had some redeeming parts but overall was a bit of a mess. Colin McGregor was awful. He had that stupid grin throughout the entire movie. He ruined it tbh.

Rather enjoyed that, a film that didn't take itself to seriously, the only person who could act was Jake Gyllenhaal mind, I did laugh at Conner McGregor though, not sure if he was trying to hard or just having fun, suspect the later.

 

[Kyo]

On reflection it was ok and I enjoyed it. It's when Colin McGregor showed up, for me it detracted from the story which made it surreal. He was like a raging testosterone driven cartoon character is best description I could think of.

 

[Maundie]

Jake was half decent and the film wasn’t “too” bad but McGregor omg, what the hell was that accent. 5/10 at best

 

[Kyo]

Post Malone at the start looks out of sorts too lol

 

[banja]

To be fair to CM, he was there for his fighting chops, and those scenes were pretty good, and I'm sure his input helped.

Mostly forgettable though, although JG is always watchable.

 

[montymint]

It was trash but I had fun watching it

 

[TriedandTested]

Yep, watchable but forgettable. Won't ever see it again but was decent enough.

 

[CircleFaust]

CGI fight scenes always look so unbelievably crap, like they take place in 10% gravity.

I thought there was something up with that trailer

will maybe watch this, watched the original about a year ago.

 

[diverse180]

34 minutes was enough for me.

 

[mingeroonie]

One to watch while playing on ya phone it seems.

 

[Removed User 345456]

The first 45-60 mins were a turn your brain off Statham style film, then oh god it got bad! What a waste of Jake!

 

[Diddums]

5/10.


I really really hope that's the last time Mcgregor steps in front of a movie camera. Susan Boyle could have probably put in a more convincing performance.

 

[fewfe3]

Wasn't too bad. But would I watch it again, Probably not.

 

[m@rty]

Turned off around half way through, rubbish

 

[gazref]

Some comments are pretty head scratching. Hard to wonder what movie some people were expecting in their heads going into this one.

Good production values, nostalgia and plot predictability of a typical 80s movie, bar fights, villains, one liners. Nailed the brief.

 

[robfosters]

Kept me entertained for a while. I don’t think I’ve ever seen McGregor that jacked

 

[rp2000]

Jake Gyllenhaal is great in most things so I stuck with it. But, it's a 2 hour film with barely any character development of anyone, nor much of a plot outside what the trailer tells you. Joaquim de Almeida is terrible, even though i normally like him. Conor Mcgregor just plays himself, badly. Everyone else just acts on TV-movie level.

Wouldn't normally watch this type of film as I have no knowledge of the original and the plot is entirely predictable and boring. Literally just came for Jake. He clearly came just for the money,

5.5/10

watched it, i wished they hadn't called road house, as when comparing to the 80's version it was no near as good tbf.
slight plot changes and call it something else would have been better.

Watched the original a few months ago, and yeh its not perfect, but just robustly a better film than this

 

[SpellowHouse]

Yeah, no. Sorry, but not as good as the original. The main star, whatever his name is, lacked appeal. He was just bland in the role.

I think the one thing the film did was to convince me that in a fight with McGregor I would last less than one second. That guy is built like a brick wall.
