Review of Road House (1989) by Chrisnorton — 06 Aug 2023
A very fun, re-watchable, barroom brawling action/thriller that takes a pretty sharp turn becoming pretty dark towards it's climax. The characters and actors are all great (especially Swayze, Sam Elliot, Kelly Lynch, and Ben Gazzara). There's something about this movie that's hard to pinpoint but it draws you in and makes you smile, which I'm sure has created quite the cult following. It's campy in parts, overly simple in its approach, but it's part of the overall charm. Roadhouse is Roadhouse and it's all awesome fun.
