Jake Gyllenhaal Packs a Punch in Doug Liman’s Road House Remake

Catch Jake Gyllenhaal as the No-Nonsense ‘Cooler’ in this Action-packed Remake


In the 1989 fan-favorite Road House, Patrick Swayze portrayed a character who was not only exceptionally cool but also adept at handling conflict through physical prowess. Now, 35 years later, Jake Gyllenhaal steps into Swayze’s iconic role in a remake directed by Doug Liman. In this modern rendition, Dalton, portrayed by Gyllenhaal, is a former UFC fighter turned uncompromising ‘cooler’ at a roadhouse, ensuring discipline with a firm hand.

Liman injects pumped-up energy into the film, creating a punchy action movie with laid-back vibes. The cast includes notable names like Daniela Melchior, Billy Magnussen, Jessica Williams, and Conor McGregor. Despite the star-studded lineup, the decision for a straight-to-streaming release on Prime Video has stirred controversy. Liman, expressing disappointment, boycotted the film’s SXSW premiere, criticizing Amazon for choosing a streaming platform over a cinematic release.

The clash between artistic vision and streaming convenience adds another layer of intrigue to Road House. Liman, advocating for the big screen, accuses Amazon of using the film to “sell plumbing fixtures.” Whether this stance will lead to a change in release plans remains uncertain. Road House is slated to hit Prime Video on March 21, promising viewers a thrilling ride.
