TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Christopher Drumme (vcn-09627) This is why I predict the American cinema and studio system will die. Nowadays it is all boring sequels and prequels and univirse films where every woman is an engineer and hates herself and is ashamed of her own body and so hides it. I am stopping my interest in (new) movies now.Road House has brawny men, nice women, bad women, thin women, available women, fighting, music and rowdiness. And Hollywood if.you.really.really.insist there is a female physician. Happy? And she voluntarily gets on her back on the first date (should give you heart attack right there).

trickovicviktor I could watch this movie million times. Everything with it is just perfect, from music to fight scenes, best action movie Swayze ever did !

Martin Bradley Obscenely enjoyable. "Road House" is one of the campest and certainly one of the most homoerotic of all American movies. It was nominated for 5 Razzies but in the intervening years it's become something of a cult classic. It's certainly a great action movie with some of the best fight scenes in all of cinema and it's built around the cult of body worship and mostly male body worship which isn't to say that the broads aren't broad where broads should be broad but fundamentally this is all about the guys, who have been mostly picked for their looks and their physiques. The hunkiest guy of all is, of course, Patrick Swayze as Dalton, the hottest 'cooler' in the county. His job is to clean up the Double Deuce, the road house of the title and the roughest joint around. Then, of course, he's got Mr Big to contend with as well, (Ben Gazzara, having a whale of a time). The director was the aptly named Rowdy Herrington who took to the material like a duck to water and the terrific, rowdy score is courtesy of the Jeff Healey Band.

MisterWhiplash I'm not sure how I could give this a proper review to make you go see it in a way past: well... it kicks ass, mostly. By the 'mostly' I might say that it's fairly one note - it's a brawny movie for MEN, and that's all there is to it. It's got bar fights, it's got fake breasts, it's got Patrick Swayze doing... tai-chi or whatever that is, it's got the kind of guy team up with Swayze and Sam Elliott that makes Cruise and Kilmer in Top Gun look like My Little Pony. And it's got Ben Gazzarra. Holy cow is he intimidating, like a Batman villain who says more in his eyes than any of his words (he even does a coin toss to decide a fate at one point!)Road House is dated as hell, with its hair and occasional pop music, though the latter of that is off-set mostly by how good the bar music covers are (and I say this when it includes a cover of Cream's 'White Room', so that's a bold move right there). To say Swayze commands his role and makes you want to keep watching is an understatement; he just HAD that screen power when in the right role, and this is it: a kind of middle-America martial arts guru, an NYC graduate with a degree in philosophy who also can beat the ever-loving s*** out of you... but it's not what he wants to do, which is key. He's a professional, and even tells his new group of workers at the bar he's been hired at that one of the three rules is "Be nice", and you know he means it. But the wrong hombre comes in with a knife in their boot... watch out! This is a Chicken-Fried steak of a movie (which is to say it's as tasty and guilty-pleasury as that sounds), at times funny (both intentional and unintentional), and featuring a roster of supporting actors that stand out well, like Red West. Also, to say again, Ben Gazzarra quietly, almost, steals the show as the opposite of his Chinese Bookie character, the ruthless villain Weasley (even that name!) and who's entire motivation is... well, I can do it, so this is MY town, get in line or get out (though he plays it in the same mostly cool manner as in a Cassavetes film, which is the right decision). But I say 'almost' because when in roam there's always Sam Elliott. Watch it with your dad or your grandpa, and by the end you'll both have some extra chest hair grown, whether you want it or not.
