Patrick Swayze Movie:

Editorial Review:
One of those movies that helped usher out the era of action films that had plots that made any sense (and also helped reverse the direction of Patrick Swayze's career arc), Road House concerns a handsome, existential bouncer in a rinky-dink honky-tonk who owns both a degree in philosophy and a Mercedes. And that's perhaps the most believable aspect of the whole movie. Swayze stars as Dalton, "the best bouncer in the business," who runs afoul of Wesley (Ben Gazzara), the meanest SOB round these parts, by taking up with his former girlfriend, Doc (Kelly Lynch)--the only woman in town with an IQ approaching double digits, even if she had unfathomably hooked up with such a lowlife. Swayze had complained about being typecast as beefcake when this was made, but that didn't stop him from revealing as much skin as possible--even guys like him, as revealed in a luridly seedy scene in which one of Wesley's goons tells Dalton that he reminds him of the kind of boyfriend he had in prison (albeit in much saltier terms). It's so insulting to its audience that it's nice to be able to turn the tables and laugh at the filmmakers. --David Kronke

I think this is one of the best movies that Patrick Swayze ever
did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He had a certain carisma about him. I
also love Sam Elliott. He is a super actor. The music by the Jeff Healy Band was great. He is very talented for being blind!!!!!!!
All in all, this was and is a TERRIFIC MOVIE and I am so glad that
I bought it. Patrick Swayze will be missed very much, but we can
still be with him through his movies!!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU, PATRICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-10-02 - I love the movie but I do NOT like WIDE SCREEN. That is why I have taken it off of my wish list. Please add more of his movies that are NOT WIDE SCREEN, please.

Finally I get to see it all
2009-09-28 - I have watched this movie for years on television, dealing with the commercials and editing. Now I can see it the way it was made. I like it more than before.
