The Double Deuce is the meanest, loudest and rowdiest bar south of the Mason-Dixon Line, and Dalton has been hired to clean it up. He might not look like much, but the Ph.D.-educated bouncer proves he's more than capable -- busting the heads of troublemakers and turning the roadhouse into a jumping hot-spot. But Dalton's romance with the gorgeous Dr. Clay puts him on the bad side of cutthroat local big shot Brad Wesley.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Road House is much funnier than most comedies, until it turns vile instead of just stupid.

rotten:
Its vigilante justice, lawlessness and wanton violence feel ludicrous in a modern setting.

Eventually it mutates into a paranoid revenge plot that might be called Walking Short.

rotten:
All Road House amounts to is a botched southern, and it's not worth a detour.

rotten:
Road House is startling because of the intensity of its violence and because of Swayze's mindless posturing.
