Jake Gyllenhaal is excellent in the role of Dalton. That's the only good thing I can say about this "reimagining" of RoadHouse.
I'm going to be entirely predictable now and say McGregor can't act, but it's actually worse than that because he's a complete clown in this movie. I don't know if that's the writing or the direction but either way it's the final coffin nail.
Other stuff that's bad is the lack of any backstory for any of the other characters. None of the scary bad guys are scary. The local sheriff and all his deputies are neither convincing or competent, to call them Muppets would be an understatement.
Jessica Williams and Daniela Melchior are wasted with no more than a couple of scenes each, and maybe this is a personal thing, but the music sucks too.
Not even a good try!
