When it shrugs off the image of it's predecessor and lets Gyllenhaal do his trademark psychopath routine, Road House is an enjoyable, if a little silly and tonally inconsistent, action romp. McGregor dances on the line of so-bad-he's-good for most of the runtime, but ultimately comes off a little corny, even for this kind of movie. Not bad overall, but I think the overt 80's charm of the original still wins out when compared.
