Road House, starring Jake Gyllenhaal in the lead role, is a reboot of the 1989 Patrick Swayze film of the same name. Helmed by Doug Liman, the story has been written by Anthony Bagarozzi and Chuck Mondry.
Standout performances by Gyllenhaal, and Conor McGregor, the former UFC champion, and positive word of mouth have roused the interest of the audience. Additionally, the music and film score have also become one of the biggest talking points since the film was released recently.
All the songs that feature on Road House
The film stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Elwood Dalton, a former UFC champion. He easily sinks into the role that Patrick Swayze played in the original. Reboots can be a hit or a miss in most cases, but in this case, it lands firmly on the side of the former.
The plot revolves around the life of Dalton, a former UFC fighter. He leaves the ghosts of his past behind when he decides to move to the Florida Keys from Missouri. Dalton ends up taking a job as a bouncer at the local roadhouse, which is a hotspot for shady folks. Conor McGregor is greatly impressive in his acting debut opposite the Southpaw, and often, he is a scene-stealer too.
On the plus side, the bar boasts of offering the services of excellent bands and musicians. The songs that play as the bar descends into chaos are the focal point of this article.
Christophe Beck was the film’s music composer, and he used songs by Natalie Bergman & Friends and Rockin’ Dopsie Jr. & the Zydeco Boys judiciously. So what are some of the other hits that feature in the film?
