Review of Road House (1989) by Phil F — 04 Sep 2011

Dalton (Patrick Swayze) is a legendary bouncer who comes to Jasper, Missouri for a special purpose: to restore order at the dangerous Double Deuce bar. But as, one by one, he rids the bar of thugs, hoodlums and hit men, he incurs the wrath of their employer - the notorious racketeer Brad Wesley (Ben Gazzara). The town lives in fear of Wesley, but Dalton is ready for action! He confronts Wesley's goons in one spectacular fight after another, but when they strike back with deadly force, Dalton know he must face the crime boss himself in a blistering battle to the finish.
