Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The 2024 remake of Road House is now available on Amazon Prime, and the comparisons to the 1989 remake have already begun. Road House is earning largely positive reviews, with many critics praising the action scenes and Jake Gyllenhaal's performance as Elwood Dalton.
The scenery isn't just good to look at. It also adds weight to the story of an idyllic town beset by violent gangsters and a corrupt sheriff's department. The villains in Glass Key live in an unspoiled paradise, but they want more. The location also represents the change in Dalton's mental state. Before crossing the bridge to the Keys, he almost lets himself get hit by a train, but the town and its people give him something worth fighting for.
Road House's characters are mostly new creations for the remake. Dalton is a pre-existing character, but Gyllenhaal's version is different to Swayze's. Elwood Dalton's past as a UFC fighter means that people know who he is. He would prefer to escape his past, but that isn't easy when the whole world saw him kill a man on YouTube. His new enemies in Glass Key, and even some of his friends, constantly remind him of the worst moment of his life.

Since so much of the movie's appeal is about action, the story can appear to be a secondary concern.
Patrick Swayze also gets the opportunity to deliver some wry comedic lines in the original Road House. He always has a wise crack when someone says he should be bigger, and his on-screen dynamic with Sam Elliott is irresistibly endearing. But the remake has more than one way of making its audience laugh. For example, the smash cut from Gyllenhaal dismantling an entire biker gang to him driving them to hospital. Arturo Castro is also a delight as a weedy gang member.
Liman produces plenty of creative touches which make the action feel even bigger. During Dalton's first fight with Knox at the Road House, Liman uses a POV shot to amplify the impact of Conor McGregor's ferocious blows. He returns to this shot choice during Road House's explosive ending, when Dalton once more seems as if he's on the brink of death.
