"Road House" | Prime Video | March 21st 2024 | Jake Gyllenhall vs Connor McGregor

[Charlie Hustle]

The fight scenes were cool, the acting seemed to be alittle forced. 6/10

The Post Malone fight scene looked so fake. And then to have him bytch out and refuse to fight Dalton.....so trash. Worst start to a movie since Nutso fell off the roof trying to slap a backboard.

Connors acting was annoying and atrocious.

GOOD OLD FASHIONED
ACTION FLICK APPROPRIATE FOR STREAMING

Connors acting was annoying and atrocious.

I kept my expectations very low for him.

 

[Peter Popoff]

Fụck Post Malone, otherwise 6/10, decent flick. Jake carried it.

 

[OmegaK2099]

I think Gyllenhaal could play the new batman in gunns DC universe

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

I kept my expectations very low for him.

Same. And he still failed.

 

[Lefty Gunz]

Cool little entertaining Friday night streaming movie. Nothing more. Nothing less

As a super fan of the original I wasn't expecting it to be anywhere near as good, and of course it wasn't anywhere near as good... (shout out P Swayze the god )


But like some other posters said it's not terrible and actually something cool to watch when ain't shyt else to watch.. something to put on after fukkin or whatever..

Seems like connon was basically told be an over the top villain.. not trying to win an Oscar here


The fact that they had to CGI post Malone simply throwing punches


One thing I did like is they tried to stay true to what made the first one dope with the bar fights and the bands and the ridiculous evil crime boss of the town..

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

This Irish can't act worth a damn
Good flick though

This was basically a Jason Statham movie with Road House name slapped on to it for marketing purposes. Based on that metric it was a fun beat 'em up action movie.

Although this was an old fashion action movie McGregor was the only one with the cheesy 80s action movie acting. shyt was jarring to watch, my guess is that his regular acting was hot garbage so they probably just told him to ham it up all the way. Don't know if Jake Gyllenhaal had a tougher time acting with Conor or doing promo with him

Also Conor just doesn't have the height and stature for this role, no matter how much steroids he juiced himself with. If they wanted a coked up villain Jon Jones would've made much more sense. Even in the one on one fight with Jake they had to use weird camera angles to make Conor look more intimidating.

Making Dalton a former UFC fighter instead of a bouncer was a dumb choice on their part.

I liked the fights and thats pretty much what we all paid to see

the OG Road House some T&A … would be better if this one showed some from the owner and doctor would have been greatly appreciated.

Fun fact, for a decorated actor, Gyllenhall has acted with Beetlejuice and Connor….he has patience

 

[Roid Jones]

Decent flick
Good fight scenes
McGregor's acting

I don't know what Doug Liman is smoking this is flick is made for streaming

It‘s like it tried to remake a grindhouse with a bigger budget but that exposes how flimsy the seams are. If this dude had this amount of money he would just get the bar shut legally. The original was just a protection racket.

so you never really care about any of this but the camera work/ fights were cool. The comedy was good, But the characters don’t gel.

it really is a western but without the part were the townspeople ban together. if Jake isn’t on screen I don’t think any of the town even talk to each other.
