Review of Road House

I agree with others. I was really into the first half of this film. I thought Dalton was really cool, funny, tough. I liked the first road house a lot and I liked the new setting and different bit of background and such, but when Knox showed up, I felt the movie slipping right away. I couldn't understand his thick Irish accent, he acted like he was on crack and they really went overboard.

My idea - if nobody's giving thought to this in Hollywood already - is to make a series of films featuring Jake as Dalton and go from city to city. I like the idea of a new setting, slightly varying stories. It'd be a bit like Mission Impossible I suppose, maybe not as good, but if they can come up with original things to Dalton's character, as in the way he approaches different enemies. I loved when he held up his left

• the guy paused - then he clocked him with his right. Or when he slapped JD Pardo across the face. That stuff was funny and even a bit original. Give Jake some credit, I thought he really pulled off a different version of Dalton well. He was very cool in this role.

I do believe this could work as a film series (in the mold of Mission Impossible). Maybe he'll have a love interest. Not the girl from this movie, but someone, eventually. I also like the idea of past acquaintances showing up in future movies. Maybe he pays a visit back to the Keys and visits the people at the shop and those at the bar.

I would definitely watch any sequels. I believe Jake could carry this series. He would carry on Swayze's legacy. I like it. Sell it.
