★★½ Decent action that climaxes in a pretty cool third act but it’s not supported by its story or script.

The 1980s seem to have an unfair advantage when it comes to cult classics – it's a decade filled to the brim with films that define their genres and revolutionised cinematic storytelling to get us to where we are today. However, when you think of the classics, films like Footloose, Robocop, Blade Runner and (of course, the most relevant to this review) Dirty Dancing spring to mind. Road House hasn't had quite the same cultural impact as some of its brethren in the decade.

★★★½ Typically for Wes Anderson, this is beautifully filmed with charming nods to the golden age of Hollywood and the Silent Film era.
