if i have never see the first road house and then i guess this movie might get one more star and but even then that make it a 3 star movie . for that matter i be really surprised a to the relatively high rating it currently have . in reality and i be not able to finish this movie and a it be painful . where it go wrong ( at least the most obvious way ) be that it pretty much parallel the original exactly even though the original plot be still reference . this doesn not really make sense and doesn not work . also and the acting be weak . i never felt like i be into the movie yet i felt like i be watch people act . even good actor like busey do not work out and probably due to the screenplay or maybe the awkward editing . the strange thing be that the movie feel like a mid 90 b movie and yet be make in 06. i be not sure a to why and but then again and this often seem to happen with sequel for some reason . the music and the look and and the whole overall feel remind me of movie you saw 10 year ago on cinemax late at night . the strange thing of all be that i be also expect ja rule to come in at some point . often it remind me of more current movie with rapper a actor . the most irritating thing be love interest girl who character seem like a total rip off of the lois lane character on smallville which be also quite annoy . and let not forget the fake sounding southern accent i have hear since walk the line . i realize this be common place in movie and but no accent at all would work good than attempt to sound like you be from that universal hick place on tv where anyone from any southern state ( or ky and wv ) sound exactly the same . sure and people in desert town in az sound just like people in southeastern state 2000 plus mile away . that be wear thin 10 year ago in the b movie where technique come from . why do writer or director make such decision . bottom line represent i would truly not recommend this if you be a fan of road house or if you like good movie . also and if you have not see it yet and do not spoil it by see this version first . the original road house be one of those accidental classic that people love and watch over and over . it be an unexpected success like american graffiti and daze and confuse and and more recently office space and fast and furious ( only the first one . ) and and napolean dynamite . why do they spoil it . they should have never make a sequel to road house other than a high budget version with the right actor or director . sure and you can never top the original ( ex represent bad news bear and the long yard and etc . ) and but at least if you can do it right it will be presentable a be the case with the example i mention . but to make a low budget and off network and self production of road house be criminal .
