Road House (2024) 4/10

Tone is all over the place and the fight scenes feel like they should have been in a Fast and Furious/Marvel movies with a combination of annoying camera work and bad CGI.

Conors scenes are a bit all over the place. Especially the one when he first arrives at the beach house and meets the son, as is clearly phoning the voice over recording in while he's character is walking around on cocaine.
Feels like he was added after a first test screening said it was too downbeat.
Rest of the film feels like it wants to be grounded then whenever he comes on screen it turns into a Marvel film.. only a Sony Marvel film.

I liked McGregor in it. Movie was decent but lacked the charm of the original.

He was Ok. But his acting was over the top. I know his character in general is a bit over the top, but at times, the way he delivered some lines, it was like he was putting an accent on top of his accent. Sounded weird.

Overacting isn't always a bad thing. I mean Gary Oldman did it in Leon and it worked great. Alan Rickman did it in Robin Hood and worked well.

I haven't watched a movie in some time. Usually, catch a few minutes of a television show or something. :(
 
Monkey Man - Pretty good. Not overly original, but a strong directorial debut from Patel and he does well inn tye action scenes.

Feels like an Origin story for a modern hero trilogy.

Not seen Face/Off in forever. How does it hold up?

Same here. It was very entertaining. The action scenes are great, and both Travolta and Cage make large number of insanely over the top acting choices that made me laugh out loud. I've been wanting to watch / rewatch a lot of John Woo movies lately, so I'm moving through some of his easier to watch films at the moment.
