Jake Gyllenhaal ‘beats the living s—‘ out of baddies in first Road House trailer

Whenever there’s a roadhouse in danger, it’s time to call in a handsome, charismatic leading man who can also beat a man to a pulp while keeping his hair immaculate.

Patrick Swayze, may he rest, initially took up the call in 1989 and this year it’s Jake Gyllenhaal’s turn. The slightly more violent of the Gyllenhaal acting siblings (much like Wu-Tang, Maggie ain’t nothin’ to f— with) stars as ex-UFC fighter Dalton, who takes a job as a bouncer at a Florida Keys roadhouse, only to discover that this paradise is not all it seems.

Dalton’s described by one character as a real Mr. Rogers type…if Mr. Rogers “beats the living s— out of you.” But with so many scenes of a shirtless, ripped Dalton, you might still want to be his neighbor.

Jake Gyllenhaal stars in ‘Road House,’ a remake of the Patrick Swayze classic.

Directed by Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity, Mr. and Mrs. Smith), Road House is a reimagining of the ’80s cult classic starring Swayze as another brawler named Dalton, who will stop at nothing — even ripping out a man’s throat — to protect Jasper, Mo.’s Double Deuce bar.

Liman moves the action to the Keys, land of seedy behavior and myriad Florida Men, with a cast that includes Shrinking‘s Jessica Williams, The White Lotus‘ Lukas Gage, Broad City‘s Arturo Castro, and actual UFC fighter Conor McGregor, in his film debut.

Gyllenhaal’s Dalton seems to meet his match in McGregror, who brings his trademark style to the role — the image of the neophyte actor walking away from an explosion in a brocade jacket with no pants feels like peak Conor McGregor.

Road House premieres March 21 on Prime Video. Check out the trailer above.
