I watched the Road House remake. Follows an overall similar storyline with a rich man trying to stand over everybody and the emergence of a bouncer who has to bring order to a bar. Jake Gyllenhaal plays Dalton the bouncer hired to fix up the bar violence. The character that was played by Patrick Swayze in the original. Although he looks the part physically, and doesn’t do a bad job, he just does not have the same presence, self-assurance, inner-strength as Swayze had.
I’m not sure if a remake was needed. However, I didn’t mind it, kept me interested. I must make special mention of Connor McGregor in his movie debut as an unhinged bad guy. He is, well, you have to watch to see him. (Must watch till the end of the first set of credits) lol..
