Road House Summary Array

Dalton (patrick Swayze) Is The Best Bar Bouncer In The Business, But He Is Anything But Typical. He Is A Little Small For His Trade, Has A Degree In Philosophy And He Believes In Being Nice. But When He Is Hired To Clean Up The Double Deuce In The Small Town Of Jasper, He Is Pushed To His Breaking Point. Turns Out Jasper Is Controlled By An Evil Sadist (ben Gazzara) Who Does Not Want Anyone Meddling With His Town. After He Sends His Goons To Bust Up The Double Deuce, All Hell Breaks Loose. Now It Is No More Nice Guy For Dalton As He Starts Busting Heads, Leading Him To The All-time, No-holds-barred, Butt-whooping Showdown Of The Century.

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
