Critics Consensus
Road House updates a cult classic for a new generation, happily replicating the original's emphasis on cheesy brawn over narrative brains.
Audience Says
Road House can sometimes be so bad it's good, but more often, the uneven acting and ridiculous story are just disappointing.
Christina Newland iNews.co.uk In spite of otherwise flat-looking film-making, the action choreography of Road House 2.0 is thoroughly enjoyable. Rated: 3/5 Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Rafer Guzman Newsday The gonzo magic of the 1989 original is gone, but there’s enough bone-breaking action here to satisfy B-movie aficionados. Rated: 3/4 Apr 8, 2024 Full Review Philip De Semlyen Time Out The combination of Gyllenhaal’s easy charm, some Florida sunshine and at least one fight scene for the ages make this Road House worth stopping by. Just try to grab a seat in a quiet corner. Rated: 3/5 Apr 1, 2024 Full Review Jack Martin Film Feeder Road House is an entertaining action remake of the 1989 original, which replicates that film’s dumb and over-the-top spirit with extra brawn that doesn’t make it smarter, but keeps it at a consistently mindless piece of trash that’s fun to watch. Rated: 3/5 Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Pete Vonder Haar Houston Press Brandt clearly has access to money and his old man owns the cops, so plant some drugs or other incriminating evidence in Frankie's office. Do that, and a mostly naked Conor MacGregor doesn't even need to get involved. Rated: 3/5 Jul 27, 2024 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer We Live Entertainment Clocking in at just shy of two hours, it’s at its best when it leans into the comedy of its narrative and stops short of aiming to beat all the bad guys, and a few good guys along with them, to a bloody pulp. Rated: 6/10 Jul 27, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
Dennis F Anybody that gave this movie a 3/5 is braindead this movie was horrible acting was horrendous fight scenes werent even the slightest bit good plot was also trash too much hype and a super mid movie pretty much the ben simmons of movies Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review SABER P I feel it's one time watch . Action and fight scenes are cool. Connor mcgregor can't act but his action is cool . Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Sean S That first fight scene 1v5, I had to re-watch it two times! EPIC! McGregor's strut when he walks was entertaining, guy plays an amazing crazy-eyed thug. And Mr. Smiley was well cast. Story / script is just ok, and the ending felt a bit over the top, but overall I wish they made more movies like this!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review Ben F First off this movie is stupid, but so is the original. If you're looking for a dramatic well written piece of cinema, this ain't it. However, it's a lot of fun. Gyllenhaal is well cast. McGregor is as ridiculous in this as he is in real life. There are plenty of campy funny moments. I would have liked a little more of Moe, because he is the funniest character. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review bob d Entertaining and a lot of action...however, so many fights and so much violence stretched your imagination to the point where things got silly. I did like Jake in his role. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/17/24 Full Review Steven G Steaming pile of #=%&. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/17/24 Full Review Read all reviews
