Road House (2024)
2/10
What's the point?
22 March 2024
Was remaking Roadhouse necessary? Because this one was pretty dreadful. Sure, the original Roadhouse wasn't a perfect movie but its non-serious tone, charm between the cast, and the intentional over-the-top action worked well to create a charming 80s flick. However, this remake fails to understand what makes the original pretty good as this remake provides an uneven script, terrible dialogue, weak performances, and a tone that takes itself way too seriously.

Doug Liman's direction is bland and uninteresting and some of the dialogue really feels like something written by ChatGBT. I love Jake Gyllenhaal but unfortunately, despite Gyllenhaal having a solid performance, he wasn't able to save the movie from falling down. Including some casting choices that are really off-putting.

The non-serious and over-the-top charm has disappeared and it makes this remake boring and bland to observe. In the end, this remake stinks.
