"Being a person whose job for a few years involved dealing with people in a way that made them do things they didn't always want to do (admittedly in a much less intense and less violent environment than this film!)

However, above all thanks to Patrick Swayze’s charisma, the damned thing was still watchable. There was also another thing that bothered me though. Indeed, one of the main idea was that the main character was some kind of Zen bouncer and that, according to him, violence should be used as a last resort and, in a fight, nobody actually wins and other things like that.

" I've been told that this is the quintessential "guy flick" and I can now see why. I also understand why all the women of a certain age were so in love with Patrick Swayze (Dirty Dancing and Ghost, aside). If you're a man's man, yeah, you should probably see this."
