Plot: Ex-UFC fighter Dalton takes a job as a bouncer at a Florida Keys roadhouse, only to discover that this paradise is not all it seems.
This Road House Remade was Quite Good.
Pros: I glad to say Doug Liman made this remade his own. Jake Gyllenhaal was really likeable as the main lead. The fighting were brutal and intense. We got more character development for the supportive characters this time around and Conor McGregor was so entertaining to watch.
Cons: The main villains hasn’t had a change to be developed properly. It can be too over the top at times. I didn’t like some scenes then others & some story plotlines that haven’t resolved.
