Road House's reviews
Media reviews
Variety
"The action in 'Road House' is beyond brutal; at moments, it\'s vicious. Yet if the movie is far more violent than your average action film, in its slightly crackpot bare-knuckle way it\'s also more humane".
Rolling Stone
"Both a great excuse to stage brutal fight scenes and relieve a more-ripped-than-usual Jake Gyllenhaal of his shirt, this modern take on yesteryear\'s guilty pleasure is twice as goofy, three times as violent and a solid tribute to both its predecessor and the art of bodily harm".
Indiewire
"All in all, this Road House is a fitting update to its predecessor\'s legacy. Not because it\'s better, or even because it\'s all that similar, but because it moves with the same unselfconscious stupidity that fueled so many of the \'80s blockbusters we remember so fondly".
The Guardian
"You come to the 'Road House' for a good time and some knuckle-cracking fights, and on that front, this film delivers, owing to some truly impressive stunt work, a fully convincing performance from Gyllenhaal in Southpaw form, and a crackling screen debut from UFC champ-cum-entertainer Conor McGregor".
Roger Ebert
"More damaging than underwritten character dynamics is the overall tone of "Road House," which needed to be far more tactile to be effective".
