Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Remaking Road House is a choice. The Patrick Swayze-led actioner wasn’t highly regarded upon its release, despite audiences gravitating towards it for decades. It wasn’t a massive box office hit, but gained momentum on cable, a standard tale for many films from the past. High-profile celebrities have spoken highly of Road House over the years, and Swayze’s enduring popularity has always attracted people to the movie.
Doug Liman's Road House Amps Up The Energy With Bigger Fights & Action Road House is the prime example of a remake wanting to be bigger and louder than its predecessor. Liman makes it clear that he is interested in Road House being the vessel with which he can make some creative choices. The director is no stranger to compelling filmmaking techniques, and he ensures the camera and editing have a huge role in most of his projects.
The cast also perfectly nails the juvenile humor that reinforces Liman’s vision to make a fun, rowdy movie that feels like one big glorified bar fight. The Ensemble Cast Elevates The Film With Their Talent Close The cast is balanced, with up-and-coming talent on both sides of the good and bad spectrum. The Road House staff are perfectly utilized. They are present long enough to create the bar's atmosphere and illustrate why Jessica Williams' Frankie is so right to hire Dalton to protect her bar, as well as why the community continues to visit despite such violent disruptions.
Jessica Williams & Daniela Melchior Deserve Better, But Road House Didn't Need Both Where Road House stumbles is with Jessica Williams and Daniela Melchior. Williams is engaging from the jump — her dry, sardonic delivery and dark jokes set the bar for what we should expect in the comedy department. Yet she is grounded enough to have us root for her and the Road House as it faces escalated attacks from Brandt.
