...spoil the film. To be honest it is not a bad film but I honestly wouldn't recommend it to anyone purely down to the cheesy dialogue. If you really want a bit of 80's Swayze nostalgia then stick to Dirty Dancing. Road House is available on Amazon for £5.97. ...

Roadhouse James Dalton, (played by Patrick Swayze) Brad Wesley, (played by Ben Gazzara) Elizabeth Clay, (played by Kelly Lynch) Wade Garrett, (played by Sam Elliot) It has been a long time since I have seen this film but remember it well. Patrick Swayze plays Dalton, and he runs a club. One night someone asks him if he is interested in working for him doing the same job that he is doing now but for a lot more money, Dalton thinks for a moment ...

Review of Road House (DVD)

The first time i saw this film was on TV, and i only caught the tail end of it. Nevertheless, what i saw caught my attention and i really enjoyed it, even though it is quite heavy on violence towards the end, which is normally not my thing. Surprisingly, i also enjoyed the use of martial arts in this film, even though films that have martial arts in them are not my forte. It was some time before i watched the film again, after picking it up on DVD ...
...see the entire film from the get-go and could follow the storyline. It is far from ordinary! This film is unlike any other i have ever seen. Rest assured this is not one of those films where, as you watch it, it reminds you of the plot of another film, as if it were just a remake. The storyline of this film is fairly unique. The cast is also excellent, starring Patrick Swayze (Dalton), Ben Gazzara (Brad Wesley), Kelly Lynch (DOC: Dalton's love interest ...

...that, then stay away from Road House (or at least record it so you can fast forward the nude and sex scenes). Fourthly, the story is good although obviously quite basic. The story is very easy to follow, he is brought in to take control and teach the current bouncers and ends up fighting the tyrants to stop them exploiting them. Basic and Simple, but very good. Not much else to say really about this film, it is easy to follow, has good fight scenes, ...
