Road House 2: Last Call

I didn't actually know that there was a sequel released to the 1989 movie "Road House", but having sat down to watch the 1989 and the 2024 reboot yesterday, I found my way to sit down and watch the 2006 movie "Road House 2: Last Call" as well.

As I had never heard about the movie, and thus never seen it, I didn't know what to expect from director Scott Ziehl. So he had every opportunity to impress and entertain me with this 2006 sequel.

Writers Miles Chapman, Johnathon Schaech and Richard Chizmar put together a fair enough script and storyline, though it felt a bit campy and not overly original. But it certainly made a suitable viewing experience the first time around. "Road House 2: Last Call" is hardly going to become a classic like the 1989 movie was.

The movie does, however, have a good cast ensemble, with the likes of Johnathon Schaech, Jake Busey and Will Patton, among others. And the acting performances were actually good enough.

There was a good amount of action in the movie, and some nicely choreographed and executed fight scenes, which definitely helped to keep the movie afloat.

I will say, though, that "Road House 2: Last Call" proved better than what I had initially expected from a sequel such as it turned out to be. But hardly a movie that had me all thrilled and worked up.

My rating of "Road House 2: Last Call" lands on a five out of ten stars.
