I'm not a fan of the typical unnecessary remake, but if you insist on doing it, then do it by respecting the original. This movie lacks all the heart of the original Road House. Filled with characters to fit today's inclusive agenda, yet still making the two main characters so obviously far by age from eachother. Swayze's Dalton was charismatic, didn't fight unless necessary and was a legitimate businessman trying to make a difference in unsafe work environments. And most of all, you actually grew to root for him. I could not have cared less if any of the characters in this new version died. The lack of depth and character development is impossible to go unnoticed. And I understand, this is an action movie and as such much regarding that department can be forgiven, but Gyllenhaal's Dalton is barely likeable. No side character was given the opportunity to shine as the seemed to be there to just represent all genders, races and body types.

Add dumb and cliché storyline, some very questionable cgi and Connor McGregor, and it is impossible to rate this movie more than a 5.

A few good laughs and fight scenes. Should have been called something else as this is no Road House.

Hardly a Hercule Poirot or Agatha Christie mystery? I was no fan of the predecessor, but this one didn't even top that. There was very little actual clues given to solve the fairly uninteresting murder. It seems this was written to "shock" us in the end, tho I doubt anyone was shocked. The jokes were weird. You have to be really up to date with your Hollywood goss to get all the references. I am not. Acting was ok.

The story was not great and the actual solving of the murder seemed to be not the main point of this " murder mystery". A shame, as I had hoped for the bar to be raised since the first film. I'm not looking forword to seeing more of these.
