Lol I actually found his performance enjoyable. Made for a decent antagonist

Story itself in this is mediocre at best and the love angle was crazy forced in this. Would also been nice to show what caused Dalton to have that trauma where he loses it when he's angry.
A plus was how they shot the fight scenes. Those were dope.

Most hilarious moment to me was when Connor's character goes "We have our own little octagon" (on a boat) and Jake's character goes "Who taught you shapes?" Lol

Him bouncing around like a cartoon character was hilarious. All I could think of was Popeye for some reason.

The fight scenes that would cut to a person's POV was dope.

PRAISE: The original Roadhouse starring the late great Patrick Swayze is the go to fun, intense, action and memorable one liner movies of all time. I respect this 2024 version for trying to be it's own thing. Changing things up with the background of the main character and the settings. This versions story Ex-UFC fighter Dalton takes a job as a bouncer at a Florida Keys roadhouse, only to discover that this paradise is not all it seems.
I thought Jake Gyllenhaal delivered a good and subdued but ready for action performance. As Ben Brandt, Billy Magnussen is funny as a jerk off living in his daddy's shadow and wanting to take over the Roadhouse.Conor McGregor as Knox, a sociopath is a cartoon character, complete with a Popeye stance and walk and he was entertaining for the most part. The action sequences are well done for the most part and I can see why Director Doug Liman wanted his movie to be seen on the big screen some would have definitely looked great on an IMAX screen. There are a few funny one liners.
PROBLEMS: The romantic part of the story with Ellie (Daniela Melchior) is watered down almost literally. Some of the fight scenes feel muted and over choreographed. I can almost see the director saying when you raise your left leg I want you to tilt and......
So many other characters are underwritten and I never really go to know them enough to care about them.
Scale of 1 to 10 a 7½
