So now that Amazon Studios bought MGM from Sony, what's the first thing they have planned? Well, make Reboots from their newfound franchise films from the 80's of course! Starting with an obscure but cult favorite Roadhouse featuring the late Patrick Swayze, but in this Joel Silver remake, there’s a jacked Jake Gyllenhaal as Dalton a drifter with mixed martial arts training who is hired as a bouncer for you guessed-"The Roadhouse.: Our protagonist Dalton has a checkered past which judging from the flashbacks you can do the math of why he became this "humanitarian" after administering beat downs. But how long will it take for him to lose his cool, when facing a group of shitstirring thugs asThe Roadhouse is constantly visited by   troublemakers who harass customers while wrecking the establishment.  This movie reminds me of that old G.I. Joe episode where Cobra hires biker thugs to terrorize Roadblock's family until they sale their diner which could be used as
