...but a reimagining. The storyline is decent, though a bit unimaginative. The acting is ok, Jake Gyllenhaal's performance being the best, Conor McGregor's being most lacking, although I think he's almost comic relief here. The idea to move the bar to a small surfside town in the Florida Keys is interesting, and Dalton being a former UFC fighter instead of a trained bouncer/cooler is more modern take on Swayze's iconic character. There are more than a couple of nods to the original, so keep a keen eye and ear, maybe you'll catch them.
It goes without saying that most fans of the original may not get into this movie, but if it's watched with an open mind, I think most people will find it fun, if not a bit silly.
