Movie Reviews of Road House (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo in Blu-ray Packaging)
Movie Review: Testosterone Extravaganza!!!!! Blu-ray looks and sounds great!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Road House" is one of those movies that has an almost cult-like following. Everyone I know who loves this movie, including me, can watch it over and over and over.
All the leads are alpha males or females in their own way. Dalton (Patrick Swayze) is quiet but explosive. Brad Wesley (Ben Gazzara) is snakey and manipulative. Wade Garrett (Sam Elliott) is life wise and supremely confident. Denise (Julie Michaels) is nasty and she knows it. Doc (Kelly Lynch) is sexy, excessively tanned, and smarter than everyone. And finally the town's business owners are calculating and determined. Thankfully they all converge in the town of Jasper, home of the Double Duece Road House, for violence, sex, and some fun music. What's not to love about this movie that gets cheesy'er and more enduring with each passing year?
The Blu-ray version really adds SNAP to the flick with sharp images, great colors, and a room-filling DTS soundtrack. Yeah, the hairstyles and clothes are almost laughable, but for those of us who were clubbing (or not too far removed) in 1989 the "Road House" is practically a trip down memory lane.
Hey, for $8.99 new for the Blu-ray/DVD combo, how can you go wrong? If is isn't that price when you read this review, be patient, it will be again.
Summary of Road House (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo in Blu-ray Packaging)
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
