Road House Story
Road House’s story revolves around former UFC fighter Jake Gyllenhaal’s take-down of Elwood Dalton’s office, which still includes a violent incident in which he murdered an opponent during a routine. Dalton is still haunted by the weight of his reputation and unable to let go of his past. Dalton gets his chance when Frankie (Jessica Williams), the owner of a roadhouse in Glass Keys, offers him a job as a bouncer. Frankie’s main concern is keeping his roadhouse safe from Ben Brant (Billy Magnussen), who wants to build a new stable in its place. Dalton has settled into his new position, but when Knox (Conor McGregor), a friend of Ben’s imprisoned father, arrives, he begins to behave violently.
The film’s actress Ellie, who is a nurse, also tells the entire photographer in one line that what do you think, people here do not have internet. Strange things begin to happen in Ellie and Dalton’s love story. She wants both ointment and stitches for her pain. He falls in love with his pain and even the universe often loses in front of a person who considers pain as his addiction. Something similar happens here also. The secret of the frequent occurrences of goons at the roadhouse slowly unfolds. The fable of the book story run by a child and his father is also a companion to the story. When everyone asks Dalton to leave this role, and he agrees to do so, he gets the story of this girl. Dalton’s philosophy is, ‘Live for yourself, then what else to live, then he takes it after fighting.’ Then he shows himself to be angry.
Road House (2024) – Movie Review
What’s Good: Gyllenhaal’s performance is fantastic, and Daniel Melchior also brings a lot to the table, their chemistry is quite satisfying to watch.
What’s Bad: The film definitely feels like something that should be on streaming, from the production values to the way the story progresses.
Lu Break: The first act of a film should be very important but here it seems as if the story doesn’t even start, but the second act has a lot of excitement.
How was the movie
After appearing in the documentary made on him seven years ago, his entry as Knox in the film ‘Road House’ manages to maintain the atmosphere of terror from the first scene till the end. In many scenes, he is even seen overshadowing the film’s hero Jake Gyllenhaal. Action is his pride. Seeing his role, you will feel that this guy is a negative character. The music of the film is its weak aspect and this despite the fact that behind the iron grill in the road house, a band keeps playing music in every environment. A good romantic song during Ellie and Dalton’s sea trip could have increased the rating of the film. You will feel like you have seen it for the first time while enjoying sitting in the middle of the sea. The cinematography and editing of the film is worth watching.
