The former dual-weight champion stepped into the glam of Holywood through the help of his debut in ‘Road House’ alongside Jake Gyllenhaal. The movie was promoted heavily by the UFC star as well as by the entire team, however, seems like it failed to grasp that contrast that the fans were looking for.

He is the main lead, a former UFC middleweight fighter who has returned now and working as a bouncer in a troubled beach bar. The story gets interesting when Conor McGregor makes the entry.

After the movie was released on Amazon Prime on the 21st of March, fans flooded the internet with reviews of the film, and seems like the fans specifically the fight fans didn’t enjoy the movie as much.
Even though it’s not a remake, Road House seems like a film ͏that͏ ͏st͏ar͏ted ͏with good in͏tentions as a modern action͏-co͏medy. However, the͏ ͏final result re͏minds ͏us why Amazon chose to releas͏e it͏ straight to streaming in͏stead of in th͏eate͏rs. The͏re’s not much ͏humor in ͏this͏ movie, and it mostly falls short of͏ the ͏original in ͏ever͏y way.

It’s no doubt that the original movie was a cult classic, however, even the 1989 film was not as good as one might think it is and one of the fans highlighted that.
Even the original sucked.

Another fan stated that McGregor’s acting was horrible in the movie.
He steals the show? He was terrible. Movie was a 6 and he was a 2. The young bookstore girl and her father were the only actors in the movie

Finally, a fan came forward to provide a neutral answer to the movie.
I got 40 mins and had to turn it off. It’s not horrible but it’s not good either. Not sure I will finish it. Gyllenhaal not given a whole lot to work with here.
