Road House (DVD) ... ... / DVD released 18 February, 2002 at MGM Entertainment / Features of the DVD: Anamorphic, Dubbed, PAL, Widescreen / Road House is one of those movies that helped usher out the era of action films that had feasible plot lines (and also helped reverse the direction of Patrick Swayze's career arc). Swayze stars as Dalton: a handsome, existential bouncer who owns both a degree in philosophy and a Mercedes and that's perhaps the most believable aspect of the whole movie. Dalton runs afoul of Wesley (Ben Gazzara), the meanest SOB round these parts, by taking up with his former girlfriend, Doc (Kelly Lynch)--the only woman in town with an IQ approaching double digits, even if she had unfathomably hooked up with such a lowlife. Swayze had complained about being typecast as beefcake when this was made, but that didn't stop him from revealing as much skin as possible. It's so insulting to its audience that it's nice to be able to turn the tables and laugh at the filmmakers.--David Kronke, Amazon.com

 ... redneck bar and is located in a backwater town that is effectively run by the evil Brad Wesley played by Ben Gazzara. He has a bit of a trampy wife who takes a shine to Dalton however Dalton himself is more interested in a doctor played by Kelly Lynch, the doctor is supposed to be a bit more pure compared with the trampy Mrs Wesley however she soon jumps into bed on a first date so I guess not too pure and wholesome.

Road House is the 1989 starring Patrick Swayze as a no nonsense bouncer. Overlooked by many due to being sandwiched between Dirty Dancing and Ghost, it is a fine film from Swayze. The Plot James Dalton is an expert cooler with a hidden past. He finds himself hired by Frank Tilghman to sort out the Double Deuce, hie nightclub which is overrun by thugs and womanisers as well as the local landowner Brad Wesley who seems to get away with everything, including taking money from all local businesses for 'protection'. Dalton soon meets Elizabeth Clay, the local doctor, following a brawl, and falls for her. However, she is Wesley's ex-wife, and ...

It was the boyfriend who made me sit through this film last night however it did sort of back fire on him a bit as once I had set my sights on Patrick Swayze naked bum all I did was compare that fine specimen of manhood with the boyfriends rather less adequate example, combine with that Mr Swayze going topless and doing a sweaty workout and suddenly I was considering buying the DVD. To be honest though for me this was the only redeeming feature of this film. The storyline was rather far fetched, the acting was either very wooden or totally unimaginative and it got rather repetitive at times as the bad guys turn up to wreck the bar Swayze works in, they get a ...

Road House – Film Only Review It was one of those what shall we watch type evenings, nothing seemed to catch our attention on Sky, so we decided to sift through our own dvd collection. About an hour later after many nope’s, no’s and er… maybe’s, I caved in, sorry I mean we both decided on Road House. Road House was released in 1989 and Patrick Swayze plays the lead role. Although I’m not a huge fan of his, I loved one of his earlier films, Red Dawn and if I’m honest I really liked this film back in 1989 when I first watched it but how has it faired now 18 years on. --- The Plot --- James Dalton, has earned a reputation as being ...
