I have not seen the original road house, but really liked this version of it. It was full of action and did not take itself to seriously. Great camera work in fight scenes and overall a fun to watch movie. My eyes were glued to the screen most of the time and even if I knew where the plot was going I wanted to see how the fight scenes would play out. It is not a new all time classic. The plot is fairly simple, but also unique because of the backstory of Gyllenhaals character. Gyllenhaal is a great actor and carries the movie with his acting skills. Mcgreggors character was a little over the top, which worked for me. As he was a real threat to Gyllenhaals character and everyone else, because he was so unpredictable and did not care for anything or more specific anyone. Overall a great movie full of action packed raw fight scenes that I would definitely recommend.
