Road House 4K Review
What I liked: In the beginning and in certain places this film was very entertaining. It had a nonchalant bizarre kind of humour and acting but it does lose it. Connor Mcgregor surprised me and had a very cheeky and just generally silly role that was just really amusing to watch. Some of the early fights were fun too.

What I didnt like: The movie would've been fine contained in more simplicity, goings on in the Roadhouse and other more confined story. It just tries too hard to become some big action epic which it rushes to become and at the same time slows itself way down and hobbles the story because of the drastic transition. For what the movie is it really lacked action outside the beginning and end like a sandwich with one piece of cheese in the middle. The beginning builds the story up and has some cool fights and funny moments, then it spends most the film stuck in the transition to some intended action flick with vehicular fighting, explosions and murder. What's more shocking is that the simple bar fights in the beginning were the highlight of all the action.

It's a very frustrating thing that Hollywood always has to blow everything up to ridiculous ends. Movies can just exist as what they are and be contained and grounded, we aren't all children and we have a reasonable attention span. I'd like to think so anyway.
