Movie #52 -- Road House

Title: Road House

Director: Rowdy Herrington

Release Year: 1989

Plot Summary: You're Dalton? I thought you'd be bigger.

Thoughts: Recently, I was listening to the radio and they were talking about the top 25 'so bad, they're good' movies and this one was number one. Yes, it really is that bad. So bad that it's good and back to bad again.

Patrick Swayze is a philosophical bouncer hired to clean up a bar in beautiful Jasper, Kansas. Seriously... This project actually got greenlighted. Anyway, between being a bad ass bouncer with a heart of gold and waxing moronic with the rest of the cast, there are plenty of fight scenes to satisfy even the most red-necked ruffian. Although, I must admit the scene at the end of the movie where the dude gets his spine ripped out is pretty sweet.

This movie is on basic cable pretty much all the time and with good reason.

Rating (0-10): 4.0

Recomendations: If you are sick and sitting at home and have two hours to kill, I'd recommend this to you for the sheer pointlessness of it all.
