“Road House,” the cult classic that starred Patrick Swayze as the bouncer at a rowdy bar, is back. This time around, Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Dalton, now imagined as a disgraced UFC fighter with a shadowy past.
Dalton reluctantly takes up a job in the Florida Keys, attempting to temper the aggressive patrons of a bar called (ironically) The Road House. Of course, along the way he uncovers a larger plot to get rid of the bar, which he also has to take care of. Not quite as Zen as Swayzne’s character, but still hesitant to engage, he finally does get roped into a very violent situation.
