Road House is classic Swayze at his best.

This story is All-American. Go to a small town to help; the bar in trouble, the kindly gas station man (who is old but still has spunk, and oh yeh, has a beautiful niece that will enter the picture a LITTLE later), a rough & tough past friend in Sam Elliott, and a hero-to-be in Swayze that is macho macho on the outside but way vulnerable inside. Swayze's character Dalton has a legend as a mean and efficient bouncer. He is hired away to help the Double Deuce Bar that is in great trouble with a rowdy clientel. He encounters an old acquaintance with The Jeff Healy Band. They perform behind a cage of chicken wire undaunted by the disruptive activity on the other side. The music is great. Be sure to enjoy their music.
Dalton easily wins over the girl, cleans up the bar with his bouncer buddies that follow his commands with a nod or a gesture. Be aware of the costumes. Good versus evil is so obvious in their dress patterns, in their daily behaviour and even in cool man Dalton's ritual beverage at work of only coffee. Swayze's hair never moves a muscle. He's coiffed to the 9's. Only in his activities with the beautiful Doctor woman does his defenses yield. We end with the conquering couple coupled in the down home water hole. Corny but sweet. Patrick is mesmerizing in demeanor and voice. Great Performance..or is it?
