Jake Gyllenhaal slaps his enemies, flaunts his ripped muscles in Road House 1st look

Jake Gyllenhaal looked muscular in the middle of what appears to be an underground fighting ring in the first look of his upcoming action film Road House. In the next cut, his character takes on a large group of adversaries in a dimly-lit parking lot. He hits an antagonist in the face and sarcastically asks, “Oo, I just slapped you, are you alright?” before proceeding to obliterate the rest of the group with his agile mixed martial arts skills. 

About Raod House movie

The project is a remake of the 1989 action movie of the same name starring Patrick Swayze. In that film, a security guard protects a roadside bar in Missouri from a malicious local businessman. Details on the remake are scarce, but Gyllenhaal’s character is that of an ex-UFC fighter, and the film is set in Florida this time around. Doug Liman directed the project, with Daniela Melchior, Billy Magnussen, and UFC star Conor McGregor as co-stars.

After the first look of Road House was out, fans will be reminded of Gyllenhaal’s Southpaw (2015) in which he played the role of a boxer. The physical transformation that the Nightcrawler star underwent for the role of a boxer is similar in Road House.
