In an act of generosity, possibly influenced by the sheer spectacle rather than any narrative ingenuity, I find myself bestowing upon it a somewhat charitable 3 out of 5 stars. Not because it redefines the genre or offers insights into the human condition, but because it provides exactly what it sets out to: a straightforward, mildly entertaining diversion from the complexities of real life.
Roadhouse 2024 ★★★
