Doug Liman directs Jake Gyllenhaal, Conor McGregor and Daniela Melchior in this remake of the “shitkicker bar gets cleaned up by a zen bouncer” trash classic.

The story is the same, the attitude is all different. Very little “de-escalation”. Gyllenhaal might be ripped but he is miscast… he comes across like Ferris Bueller on steroids rather than a man who can handle himself. That is creepy. The fights contain too many CGI stunts, the plot overly laborious. It is almost unwatchable digital-shit until Conor McGregor turns up butt first. He can’t act… he almost aggressively can’t act… and that proves utterly compelling. Road Hash becomes very enjoyable in the second half for all the wrong reasons. People will write dissertations about this one in the future.
