Amazon.co.uk Review
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

3.0 out of 5 stars a decent action movie, 21 Feb 2002
even the movie was released at the end of the 80's- it's a classic one. in this movie, patrick swayze takes place as dalton- a boucer at a local southern pub, filled with violence & fearsom bullies that vandalize the town in the name of a wealthy scum (ben gazzara). as the pub owner is fed up with the chaos, he summons dalton, a 'rent a hero' famos bouncer. as all the 80's action movies, swayze wins the sympaty of the townsfolk, gets all the girls & beats the baddies. the avarege storyline is decorated with lots of nice fighting scenes, along a good soundtrack. with a special appearance by jeff healey.

5.0 out of 5 stars I thought you'd be bigger, 21 Feb 2001
This review is from: Road House [VHS] [1989] (VHS Tape)
This a film that as its ups and downs but overall this is one of patrick swayze's better films.Dalton is the best bouncer in the business and he is asked to clean up the mess by Wesley and his goons.1 by 1 he knocks of wesley's goons and then gets ready for the final showdown.Along the way he falls in love with Wesley's ex who is a doctor at the local hospital.Then he asks his old pal for help and things then go from bad to worse.There is an execellent sound track and the film has good support from Jeff healey who plays Cody who used to sing at daltons old club. He shows why he is canada's number one musical export.The film is not as violent that it is made out to be there are some good fight scences in it.This is a film that is overall very good and i would recommed anyone to buy it.The choice is yours.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best US film of the era, 8 Aug 2003
You have to love this film. Genius 80's cheese. The script ain't bad, the acting is reasonable and the fight scenes were choreographed by Benny The Jet, who kickboxers will know as a bit of a hero. Oh and it helps to be drunk to truly appreciate it.
