Road House (1989)

Did you think it was one word too?

Anyway Matt & Todd continue Neo-Western November to review the delightful actioner Road House (1989).

Directed by Rowdy Harrington

Starring: Patric Swayze, Kelly Lynch and Ben Gazzara

We love this film, unironically, exactly for the over-the-top wish-fulfillment it truly is. It reminds us of the sort of "code of honor" from the old cowboy pictures we grew up with.

It's no Lawrence of Arabia, or even Friday the 13th Part 2*, but

it is Road House and if you don't love it, just watch it until you do.

'High' art? No. Elevating filmmaking? No.

Awesome? Yes and that is what counts at TV/MR.

We also talk a little about the Jake Gyllenhaal one (pretty fun!)

Find us on Twitter if we're still there, Blusky and Letterboxed.
