That was an excellent one.
... View MoreA very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
... View Morea film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
... View MoreFunny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
... View MorePardon the hyperbole. I love this movie. I think the story is compelling enough. Down on his luck college graduate enters a line of work best suited to his real talents-eradicating town scum. At his core, Dalton is good. Swayze is on. Perhaps this is best as a guy flick.
... View MoreI don't know what it is about this film. And yes I said film.. Maybe it is Patrick Swayze and his glorious mullet, But I enjoy this movie. It's like a Kurosawa film, set around a honky tonk in a small town in America. The rough, blue collar bar setting is wonderfully ironic given the complex themes explored in the story. The fights are like ancient duels between men. Drawing you in is the contemplation of greed vs honor and righteousness vs killing, Compelling you to continue watching despite your initial impression that this was just another B rate 80s movie. And then there's Patrick Swayze and his glorious mullet.This film just works.
... View MoreI'm not going to write about the plot. I'm not going to write about the characters. I'm not going to write about the meaning of this film. I'm just going to list (in no particular order) the things that makes this piece of trash art one of the greatest so bad it's so good movies of all time. 1- Patrick Swayze's mullet. 2- Ben Gazzara (God bless him). 3- The Jeff Healy Band. 4- The singing waitress(she's hot, even with that ridiculous haircut). 5- Jimmy's girl. 6- Dalton being a cooler and having a PhD in Philosophy. 7- Dalton's speech. 8- The Bigfoot truck. 9- "Pain don't hurt". 10- Kelly Lynch (The real reason why you should check out this turd)There are other reasons, but I'm too lazy to write them down. Anyway, if you happen to find this movie on TV (and believe me, you'll find it), make yourself a favor and watch it. Better watch it with a cold one, because when Kelly Lynch appears, the temperature in your house will get VERY HOT
... View MoreRoad House, like Schwarzenegger's Commando has gained cult status among action fans, and for good reason. It is an over the top often hilarious film about a male cooler and his team of bouncers trying to turn a rowdy bar into a respectable place in a town owned by a local dictator. Patrick Swayze is great in this film, along with Point Break another action classic he seemed to be making great project choices after his success with Dirty Dancing. I recommend this film to anyone looking for an easy going often extremely violent action film with fabulous one liners to boot, a late 80's classic.
