There are controversies and the buzz for controversial films is naturally higher. The same is going on for Road House. The highly anticipated trailer for the upcoming action thriller “Road House” has been released. We say Gyllenhaal’s portrayal of the iconic role once played by Patrick Swayze.
In this playful reimagining of the 1989 cult classic, Gyllenhaal stars as Dalton, an ex-UFC fighter turned bouncer at a roadhouse in the Florida Keys. The plot unfolds as Dalton faces off against a corrupt businessman with a tight grip on the local community, revealing that the seemingly idyllic paradise is not what it seems.
The trailer is very very well cut with Gyllenhaal bringing his own flair to the character. The trailer shows us some really really great fight scenes but nothing discussed so far is the main highlight of the film.
The film features UFC champion Conor McGregor in a role. This is really huge as the man enjoys a God level popularity amongst his fans.
The rest of the cast includes Daniela Melchior, Joaquim de Almedia, Billy Magnussen, Lukas Gage, Darren Barnett, and Beau Knapp.
“Road House” became a cult classic due to its simple yet compelling plot and the unique blend of martial arts and dance skills that Patrick Swayze brought to the original role of Dalton. Gyllenhaal has big shoes to fill, but the trailer suggests he is up to the task.
The movie premiers on Prime Video on March 21. Amazon initially promised a theatrical release for the film but pushed it on Prime Video instead. This brought some harsh response from the director. Let’s see what happens next…
