Road House (1989)
4/10
The purpose is to gawp at Patrick Swaze
23 May 2017
The filmmakers aimed this one squarely at their audience: women, do you like staring breathlessly at Patrick Swayze, and men, do you like watching Patrick Swayze win loads of bar fights? That's pretty clearly what was in their mind when they wrote it and made it.

If you're a yes, sit back and you'll get two hours of solid entertainment led by a story that's was as old as the 80s were when they wrote it. If you're a no, there's nothing at all in it besides Patrick so find something else to do.

Bear in mind that Patrick doesn't do anything wrong here - he does what he's paid to do, which is be sultry and 'the best', and he does it very, very well. No wonder he made the film and no wonder Patrick's fans, mostly female, were delighted with what they got given.
