Road House

Dalton, a former UFC fighter with a hard won code, takes a night job as a bouncer at a roadhouse tucked along the Florida Keys. He hopes for a quiet payday and a safer life away from the octagon, but the gig drops him into a sun drenched paradise that hides a murky underbelly. The bar draws a rough crowd and a web of shady deals hums beneath its bright lights, and Dalton quickly learns that loyalty and order here come at a heavy price. As he trains his eyes on every doorway and screens every interaction, he discovers the true cost of keeping peace in a place where power is traded like drinks, and where violence can flare in an instant. The job tests his restraint and threatens to pull him into a conflict that could alter the town forever for good.

Directed by Doug Liman, Road House is a 2024 remake of the 1989 action classic. The screenplay is by Anthony Bagarozzi, Charles Mondry, and Hilary Henkin, with Jake Gyllenhaal taking the Dalton role opposite Billy Magnussen, for fans of the original and new audiences alike.

As of now there are no major nominations announced for Road House. Critics have mixed feelings about the remake, some praising Gyllenhaal’s presence and Liman's kinetic direction, while others feel the film lacks the original's sharp edge. Awards chatter remains light.

Early critics note the film moves with brisk intensity and a lean brutality that suits Liman's style. The Florida setting heightens tension, turning a simple guard job into a test of duty, trust, and the cost of protecting a fragile peace.
