The producers had a tough task: Remake Roadhouse when millions of fans of the original will watch with a critical eye. This version was good, but doesn't compare to the 1989 Roadhouse.
Jake Gyllenhaal gave a good performance as Dalton, but Patrick Swayze would win this fight. The production faced problems that the original didn't encounter. Namely, the diversity mandate placed on Hollywood productions these days.
All the minorities were portrayed favorably, while the villains were all played by white actors (except Dalton). There is nothing wrong with a diverse cast, but like everything else, too much of something CAN get a little distracting and annoying.
Overall, an OK watch, but it doesn't merit a rewatch.

"Lost Lagoon" is a must watch for fans of offbeat movies!
There are no evil people, just good people cast into very unusual situations. The movie reveals how they handle these unusual circumstances.
Interestingly, Leila Barry, who radiantly plays the love interest, is never seen again in another movie. She presents a strong screen presence that is coveted by producers.
Calypso/Reggae fans will appreciate the considerable music interludes as the Bahamian employees of the resort act as a greek chorus explaining the fate of their employers in their music.
I highly recommend this movie for 79 minutes of fine entertainment.
