Patrick Swayze would be rolling over in his grave: briefly; we meet Elwood Dalton [Jake Gyllenhaal:] he is an ex-UFC fighter with a destructive personality mix that with a death wish as well, he gets offered up to $20,000 for a month just to keep the riffraff out of this place known as Roadhouse, but whilst he is there he also gets involved with things as well.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script and art is... well complete and utter garbage; they have it very, incredibly loosely based on the original 1989 version and that is it; and when I say incredibly loosely based on the original I am saying as good eyesight as Mr Mungo at best. What the hell were they thinking? I knew this film was going to be a big problem within may be 45 seconds or less: it just didn't or doesn't seem to embody the 1989 version in any way shape or form, now put some meat on the bone: straight away this particular Roadhouse takes place in this sunny background and sunny atmosphere: which completely from the outset goes against the 1989 version as it is meant to be a being polite a rough area and a bit of a dump and if they think this area is a rough area they would have really struggled back in the 1989 version: yes they have some troublemakers but they are weak as hell, it really is quite embarrassing really, I mean as the person I watch some of this content with said at least they had got the cage right around the performance stage and yes we have a blind person performing for one song I believe. The framework and pacing of this; 121 minutes film is insufferable as the script really doesn't go anywhere quickly or efficiently or quite frankly I was pretty much done this film so early on I couldn't give a dam about it, I was just happy to get through this film and to never, ever see it again.

Action, art and comedy; I can happily leave most of these action sequences as they are really uninspiring and nothing special; I mean now and again we have either from the perspective of Dalton's perspective or keeping up with this sequence in question which from an artistic perspective is tiresome and if these sequences with keeping up with the action are not fluently kept up with the action they do tend to come out like this just behind the sequence as it relates to timing and consequently incredibly sloppy: but we do have an underwater sequence which is probably the best of the action sequences and then as it relates to the art we have Dalton and another character enjoying some beers where the water and land are close together and finally these comical moments in the action sequences even when Dalton speaks to this hench-person that they have already crossed paths before and even on this first meeting he was the kind of joke hench-person in short we can get away with it once but going and doing it again and again is boring as hell.

Character developments, comedy and performances; on both counts they are atrocious; I mean Dalton was/is meant to be this in his heart a nice guy, but when he loses his loses his temper bad things happen, but this version of this character; it's just a giant penis, yes he made trying a little self-discipline by a pinch as it relates to the original, but he is still too eager to show off his skills and what is this comedy going he does with it as well, to be honest most of these character developments and performances are of a low quality: there is not one character or performer I can say that stuck out in a positive way, I mean if you want them to be fair and reasonable all of the background characters including small roles they did okay for what they were and some supporting characters/performers can be seen in the same light as well: but the main screen characters and performers; how can I say this; thanks but no thanks; they were poor.

This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; as the person that I watch some of this content with said that they would give this movie -1. As far as I am concerned this has no right to be called Roadhouse, because I don't know what this is, but it certainly isn't Roadhouse that is for damn sure and it has one extra scene right at the end of the first credits, yet for some strange reason it has some positive awards to its name such as; 1 Winner American Cinema Editors, USA 2025  Eddie Best Edited Feature Film - Non-Theatrical Doc Crotzer and 2 Nominees which include but not limited to SXSW Film Festival Audience Award Headliners Doug Liman
