As remakes go this was a solid one- didn’t quite have the silliness of Swayze’s original but Gyllenhaal’s performance as Elwood Dalton makes this a fun ride!
Doug Liman is a director who usually provides watchable movies and this one is one of his more middle of the road efforts. Plot feels very run of the mill and Billy Magnussen again plays his usual unlikeable douchebag villain- but there is definitely fun to be had with Dalton dishing out beatdown’s to bad guys! Though- less said about Conor McGregor’s Knox the better… great fighter doesn’t necessarily translate the great villain!
