People need to stop saying "Road House was a great movie". Road House was always trash, but it was a lot of fun and it captured the period it was made in well. That's why people love it and I feel like this achieved the same thing. This isn't exactly a remake, it's a modern reimagining of the same overall story: Road House being threatened by rich crime boss gets mysterious new bouncer and chaos ensues. There are a few of the same beats in there, but it's mostly a new movie. Conner McGregor is not exactly a good actor, but he looked like he was enjoying playing the role and that's more important in a movie like this.
I don't have much else to say. It's a little better than I expected. If you enjoyed the original Road House and understand that this isn't going to be the exact same thing I recommend it.
