Review of Road House (1989) by Conner R — 29 Aug 2010
If you were to ask me if Road House is a whole-heartedly good movie I'd say no, but it's just so out of it's mind and testosterone driven that it has won the title of the quintessential 80s action movie.
Patrick Swayze explodes on to the screen as Dalton, the stone cold bouncer with one goal in mind; justice. His wardrobe of choice: karate tunic and silk pants. Weapon of choice: His roundhouse kicks and throat ripping hands.
Vehicle of choice: a beater car to keep his beautiful Mercedes in pristine condition. Enemy: Brad Wesley the town tycoon, a bizarro Dalton, henchmen and a Monster Truck. There is so much to pick apart and love about this movie that you literally can't find it to be anything but glorious.
The action is in your face, emotions run wild and you learn the wise teachings of Dalton.
