Movie Reviews of Road House
Movie Review: All you need to know about "Road House" is included in the following.
Summary: 5 Stars
This flick has hot babes (especially Kelly Lynch as a hot blonde doctor), total butt kicking action, Patrick Swayze's cheesy one liners, ninja bouncing moves, and mullet..should I continue?
Okay then.
Dalton is supposively THE best bouncer in the business. He killed a dude 'cuz the lady friend he was bangin' never told him that she was married, he tears out a guy's throat with his bare hands, he's "nice..until it's time not to be nice", he doesn't give a crap when his car(s) get their butts kicked (and he laughs the mishaps off like they never happened), he's taught himself that pain doesn't hurt, he carries around his medical chart because it's easier on him, he's stitched his own wounds before, he gets to bang a hot blonde doctor at the end of the day, and he takes out the bad guy of the town and his cronies without the use of any weapons, excluding his own fists and kicks, within a two hour running time..every time.
This movie is a total action-adventure epic. You should own the DVD already.
Summary of Road House
Patrick Swayze stars in this sexy, "violent tough-guy thriller" (Fort Worth Star-Telegram) from the producer of Die Hard and The Matrix. Co-starring Ben Gazzara (The Thomas Crown Affair), Kelly Lynch (Charlie's Angels) and Sam Elliott (We Were Soldiers), Road House delivers no-holds-barred action that pushes the envelope for high-octane thrills! Swayze is Dalton, a legendary bouncer who comes to Jasper, Missouri, for a special purpose: to restore order at the notorious Double Deuce bar. In one spectacular fight after another, Dalton rids the bar of thugs and henchmen. But when he runs afoul of a ruthless crime boss (Gazzara) who controls the town, the stage is set for a blistering showdown that'll leave only one man standing!One of those movies that helped usher out the era of action films that had plots that made any sense (and also helped reverse the direction of Patrick Swayze's career arc), Road House concerns a handsome, existential bouncer in a rinky-dink honky-tonk who owns both a degree in philosophy and a Mercedes. And that's perhaps the most believable aspect of the whole movie. Swayze stars as Dalton, "the best bouncer in the business," who runs afoul of Wesley (Ben Gazzara), the meanest SOB round these parts, by taking up with his former girlfriend, Doc (Kelly Lynch)--the only woman in town with an IQ approaching double digits, even if she had unfathomably hooked up with such a lowlife. Swayze had complained about being typecast as beefcake when this was made, but that didn't stop him from revealing as much skin as possible--even guys like him, as revealed in a luridly seedy scene in which one of Wesley's goons tells Dalton that he reminds him of the kind of boyfriend he had in prison (albeit in much saltier terms). It's so insulting to its audience that it's nice to be able to turn the tables and laugh at the filmmakers. --David Kronke
