"Road House" (2024), directed by Doug Liman, revitalizes the cult classic with a modern twist, featuring Jake Gyllenhaal as the troubled former UFC fighter Elwood Dalton.

While the movie embraces its campy nature and offers entertaining spectacle, it occasionally falters with excessive CGI in fight scenes and struggles to surpass the legacy of the original 1989 film.
