A girl named Frankie runs a road house (hotel) in Florida, where some people are fighting unnecessarily. She comes there to bring Carter as a bouncer for her road house (hotel) issue, but after watching the fight incident, she decides to get Dalton, but he denies going with her. Dalton was living his life with regrets, so he decided to commit suicide, but he didn’t do it.

In the night, the biker gang, as usual, started fighting, then Dalton warned them first, hit everyone badly, and took them to the hospital, where he met Doctor Ellie, and he became popular around the roadhouse.

Dalton was unknown the reason of the attack on Road house and no one saying the truth. Later, he knows that Ben is doing everything because he and his family want to build a luxurious building in place of a roadhouse.
After that incident, Ben’s father sent Knox to the roadhouse. Knox came to the house with the biker gang and fought with Dalton. Dalton was injured badly and went to the left-road house, but he saw Charlie’s library burn with fire, so he returned, killed the burners, and took Ben’s money the next morning.
Charlie’s father came and said Ben Gas kidnapped his daughter, so returned his money. When Dalton reaches Charlie, his father is already present there, and Dalton understands everything. The fight between them starts, and in the end, Knox kills Ben, Dalton hits Knox badly, and he leaves Ben money in the Charlie library and leaves the road house.
Review
The movie shows Jake Gyllenhaal (Dalton) as an ex-UFC fighter who plays the role of a bouncer. He protects the road house from Billy Magnussen (Ben Brandt) of the biker gang. The fight in the movie seems like a real fight.
The performance of Jake Gyllenhaal is outstanding, and the camera movement during the fight is so extraordinary that it feels like you are watching it like a real fight.
The story of the movie is not good. It’s just a normal or running story, and the director created extra or unusual hype about the main villain that was unnecessary for the movie or had the wrong impact on the movie.
Overall, the movie is good. The man and Jake Gyllenhaal fans love the movie because his acting is mind-blowing.
