Review of Road House (1989) by Steven1981 — 21 Mar 2020

Road House is a 1989 thriller action movie that blends sex, romance and suspense into the mix plus a bunch of random songs throughout the movie such as Otis Redding's "These Arms of Mine." which I hate with a passion.

We have many tough guy characters, many dopey and dumb characters and many intimidating characters and factors in the movie and barfights plus Swayze's smile. The main character in the movie is Dalton (Patrick Swayze) who's hired by Tilghman (Kevin Tighe) the owner of some rundown bar called the Double Deuce.

He's hired to clean it up because drugs happen there, fights and general trouble and unpleasantness and Dalton (Swayze) is the best and accepts the job but only on his own terms. However before he can clean the Double Deuce up he must deal with Brad Wesley (Ben Gazzara) and his thugs who own the town and make everyone's life a misery and he gets involved romantically with Kelly Lynch who's some doctor or something and some chick called Denise strips more or less naked in the movie.

There is some nudity, music, explosions, violence, bad language and sex and some blood but Road House isn't the best action movie and many may hate it but there's worse. Some of the characters are odd and Patrick Swayze's acting is okay some times and laughable the next but it's fairly decent even if stupid.
