Film Journal 2024: Road House
Directed by Doug Liman
Did we need a remake? I’m not sure. But if you’re going to do it, casting a buffed up Jake Gyllenhaal in the role of Dalton is the way to go.
It is definitely by the numbers in a lot of respects, but the brooding, uncertain vigilante thing is still fun enough to give this thing that necessary spark.
Boasts a few memorable action sequences as well, featuring some understated stunt work. Definitely decent enough for some Friday night home viewing.
