Conor McGregor takes centre stage in his silver screen debut, starring as a menacing hitman in Prime Video’s latest action-packed release, “Road House.”
Helmed by director Doug Liman, this contemporary remake of the cult classic from 1989 sees McGregor stepping into the shoes of a ruthless gun-for-hire, adding his signature intensity to the role made famous by Patrick Swayze.
In this reimagining, McGregor’s character clashes with former UFC fighter James Dalton, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, who seeks refuge from his troubled past as a bouncer in a Florida Keys roadhouse. The tropical paradise quickly becomes a battleground as Dalton faces off against McGregor’s character.
