Movie Reviews of Road House
Movie Review: 80's-tastic.
Summary: 4 Stars
Incredibly-great bad movie. Sam Elliot with a great supporting role. Don't overlook this just because of the Swayze factor. Decent special features (Kevin Smith included.)
Great flick.
Movie Review: Excellent purchase
Summary: 5 Stars
Great purchase, arrived quickly, movie plays flawlessly and great! 5 + stars GRADE A all the way across the boards. Would recommend this seller and would do business again!Movie Review: A film of its time , just enjoy for its' own sake
Summary: 3 Stars
This wouldn't have won 'Best Film' at all , but it is entertaining if you are in the right mood .
The commentary by Kevin Smith was part of the reason I bought it and I was not disappointed .
A film for the weekend with some friends around , especially those who lived through the time it was being made , for the fashions at least !
In the end , it was a worthwhile purchase .
If you want serious film , buy a Criterion Collection DVD .
Movie Review: very dirty dancing
Summary: 4 Stars
If Dirty Dancing is Patrick Swayze for the girls, then Road House is Patrick Swayze for the boys. This is what I'd like to call pure trash action. Great action thats highly entertaining, but accompanied by a ton of nudity and strong language that may not suite everyone. A strong R rating for Road House, but still ends up being a very enjoyable film, thanks to Mr. Swayze who takes out the trash.
Road House is a typicall full of action movie with a no brain story that actually makes that no brain story as interesting as can be, and placing enough action throughout to make the whole movie worth just about every minute. Pacing is wonderful, and I was totally engaged. Even watching it late at night kept me wide awake. The fights are great, and the fights are wild. I always figured there would be some crazy bar fights, but some, especially at the beginning of the film, are really crazy. Patrick Swayze did some study up on martial arts for this film, and he even has a scene practicing his katra. He gets a good fight against a guy named Jimmy, who is basically one of the bigger bad guys of the film, working under the boss. Its a hard hitting fight that goes on for a few minutes, and then has a wicked ending that I won't say.
Nothing much else to say about the film. Its a great action pleaser. For years I kept igonoring Road House thinking it was a pointless movie about pointless bar fights. Its actually better than expected. Considered a B movie all the way, I have to say its possibly the best B movie ever created.
Movie Review: Schmaltz with violence
Summary: 3 Stars
Patrick Swaze plays our hero, a combination of philosopher, tough guy, and knight errant, sort of a modern day Don Quixote. Sam Elliott makes the movie for me, he's a presence even in a B grade movie. Sam should be placed as the cowboy iamgo, he looks the part, sounds the part and as far as I'm concerned can outact "The Duke" any day of the week in a cowboy role.
This does not include what I consider to be Wayne's classic picture "The Quiet Man", in that he was superb.
Back to Road house, why Ben Gazarra played his role the way he did is beyond me, he sounds, looks and behaves like a character from an old Looney Tunes cartoon that lampoons crime characters.
I got it because I like to see the bad guys lose.
