let me start by say you know a film be poorly run when extra make the cover . with that say and anyone who say this be the bad film ever be be dramatic and and anyone who say that the film be great be completely delusional . the film be what it be . and what be that . a modest budget ( $ 4 million and i estimate ) studio sequel . the film isn not terrible and but for road house fan it will be a disappointment . and that bring me to problem one and just a dirty dance wouldn not be what it be without swayze and road house isn not the same without him . the lead lack depth and character and and likability to carry the film . i feel that the lead be poorly cast and the producer should have bent over backwards to get patrick to do it if they be gon na do a sequel . the other cast be uneven with outstanding actor like will patton along side day player who couldn not act there way out of a paper bag . busey and who i have see do great character seem like he just mail it in . ellen be play well and except for not be believable at all a a bayou raise chick . sherri and the dea agent at the first bar be hot and a good actress and yet her part be awkwardly small and undeveloped . the writer totally miss all opportunity to add depth and interest to the story and character . instead opt for a base one dimensional film . which lead me to the big problem and the script . i get a bad feeling when the credit roll and there be three script writer separate by an and and an and . it look very amateur . and that be what the writing be . i hear the original script be well and then a rewrite be do and the hard core sucking begin . some cheezy part of the film to watch for be . during the first undercover meeting and the obvious drug deal under the table . hey let meet at a crowded nudey bar and i will pull a block of coke out of my jacket and you pull cash out then we will slide them under the cocktail table wait . make sure to look cool when you look leave and right to make sure no one be look . second and i love it when someone get shoot in the chest and then you see him sit up happy a a lark 10 minute later . there be some nasty editing cut towards the end of the film especially during fight scene and when the main character be chase thru door and run into a patron . which bring me to the realism of the dea training and i would not both to get technical . but jump thru door isn not standard training . nor do typical female agent and who bust their butt to make it in a male orient field and act like weak character . boring . thanks for the chauvinistic view heir director . there be other stuff i could teach a course at a school about it . the speed up fighting and the cheezy dialogue and the recycled story . etc . but aside from all that you just can not like ex mr. applegate and he totally lack the humble zen coolness that make mr. patrick swayze such a bad as . he just strike me a one of those 5 foot nothing actor who think they be a bad as and but just like van damnit he run into a real bad as ( chuck zito in van don not case ) and he give him a lesson about badassdom . therefore and that i feel be the major linchpin of the film and if you be a bad as you be a bad as and you do not have to try . example represent swayze . if you be a pretty boy who try to hard to prove you be a bad as among other thing . then well . you be why your audience and the average joe . will not rent this film and and if they do they will write review like this .
