Dont go in expecting a faithful recreation of the original, or some deep and nuanced experience. its a simple action comedy with very impactful combat and likeable characters. Viewers like Kris Ambler or James Matthew Davies fundamentally misunderstand the media. If you're walking in expecting groundbreaking cinema you've found the wrong genre, this is a lighthearted action flick not grounded in reality, as if that's a reasonable expectation from a ROADHOUSE reboot. This isnt citizen kane were talking about here, it's a campy beat em up meant for casual entertainment, and it executes that goal beautifully.
