Gyllanhall is good, great physical transformation and decent version of the Dalton character but the rest of the movie struggles to keep up.
There's none of the gritty charm of the original, there's no building of community spirit, the romance angle is poorly presented and glossed over as a nothing event, the owner of the Road House has zero investment in happenings, and Connor just acts coked out of his mind which probably is a case of art imitating life.
Not a terrible way to fill in an hour or two, but I'm not likely to ever watch it again, unlike the original which was I've viewed countless times.
