Some movies should not be remade. The original Roadhouse is on my list of favourite movies which I watch religiously at least twice a year. This remake falls short at every level. From the script which seems to be written by a five year old to the atrocious acting and forgettable dialogue. I am disappointed in Jack who I always thought of as a good actor but whose performance in this movie is C rated at best.
The movie seem to be rushed, the Dalton character is not convincing and it's not even close to the bad ass character Dalton from the original release portrayed by the bad ass actor Patrick Swayze, the foes are a bunch of laughable pansies and the antagonist is just a weirdo with daddy issues.
The love story between Dalton and the Doctor it just doesn't have the same pasionate vibe seen in the original release but instead it reflects the state of the new social media generation which has lost its touch when it comes to inter human face to face romantic interactions.
The fight scenes are so choreographed and they are not realistically depicting a street fight which is what you would normally see in a bar brawl but instead you feel that you are watching an octagon fight but in a Barr setting. The fight scenes in the original release were more realistic.
There may be an audience for this movie out there but it is definitely not my cup of tea.
