This has very little in common with its older namesake - apart from it is set in a Road House (whatever that is) and there is some fighting.
Jake Gyllenhaal plays an amusingly pragmatic fighter who smiles and quips before throwing people through windows.
The plot is very silly and things that look like they are going to be built on aren't and so much of it makes little sense.
But there are lots of fun characters and lots of action.
It is quite violent but in a semi-silly way.
Jake Gyllenhaal gets punched in the face about a thousand times which only results in the odd split lip or a black eye.
This has nothing on the original and really it shouldn't have bothered trying to dress up in Road Houses's clothes as it is its own, rather silly, thing.
But all being said this was good fun, full of action and just quirky enough to catch my attention.
