Billy Magnussen, Daniela Melchior and JD Pardo star in the newest Prime Video film, Road House. A title very familiar to those that appreciate the 80s films. A new version of the original screenplay written by David Lee Henry and Hilary Henkins. This new tale brings us packed action that you don’t want to miss.
The Synopsis
Road House stars Jake Gyllenhaal as “Dalton,” an ex-UFC fighter trying to escape his dark past and his penchant for violence, in this adrenaline-fueled actioner. Dalton is barely scraping by on the reputation that still precedes him when he is spotted by Frankie (Jessica Williams, “Shrinking”), owner of a roadhouse in the Florida Keys. She hires him to be her new bouncer in hopes of stopping a violent gang, working for crime boss Brandt (Billy Magnussen, “Game Night”), from destroying her beloved bar. Even five to one, Brandt’s crew is no match for Dalton’s skills. But the stakes get higher with the arrival of ruthless gun-for-hire, Knox (Conor McGregor, “Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare”). As the brutal brawls and bloodshed escalate, the tropical Keys prove more dangerous than anything Dalton ever faced in the Octagon.
