Gasoline Alley

Before watching this movie the illness of Bruce Willis made the news. He was ending his career and in all fairness it was about time. Nothing really worked for him anymore so it's better stopping altogether and try to enjoy the rest of his life. In Gasoline Alley he's just a poster filler, a name that attracks viewers, even though it could also mean the opposite now when you see his latest movies that were complete garbage. In this movie he has a really small role, with not much lines, and that's maybe better like that. The story is more about Devon Sawa and he did a pretty decent job. Luke Wilson was also not bad. You can see it's a rather low budget movie but in all fairness I have to say I was entertained. There is a good level of mystery, the story flows good, and the acting is okay. I've seen worse, much worse, so in my humble opinion the ratings are way too low for Gasoline Alley.

Bruce Willis' neurological disease is on full display in this movie and that is sad. His handlers, agents and friends should be ashamed for allowing this level of exploitation. The movie is clearly low budget, low brow, slow and remedial. However, the classic cars in the movie are beautiful.

Yeah, what everyone says about Bruce Willis is true. He's barely in it and he just mumbles answers to Luke Wilson basically. Serves no purpose other than to say Bruce Willis was in this. The last few years this is the type of movie he does. Low budget, bad script that he's in only for a couple days work and a big pay day. What a terrible way to end a once great career.

But make no mistake, Luke Wilson was only in this for a pay day as well. He's incredibly one-dimensional and boring. Just gets tiresome watching him be the bad cop and spew the annoying lines he's given here.

But then you're left with the lead actor, who can't carry a movie. I don't know him, I didn't like him and I don't care what happens to him. He's trying to solve the crime he's being accused of but it's a hard watch. It's a seriously boring and cliched script. You wonder where they got the money for Wilson and Willis to be in this?

How does this get made. I made it 45 minutes in and had to stop, I was so bored. But 45 minutes in this travesty should get me some sort of award.

I think pretty much anything Bruce Willis does at this point is junk.

The production quality of this movie was so low the opening scene was one of the worst I've seen in a movie in years, no substance, no direction, terrible soundtrack, very little atmosphere. And only a dialed in performance by Willis.

Luke Wilson was the only saving grace and even he couldn't do anything to save this turkey. Save 90 minutes of your life want something good.

Bruce Willis has been diagnosed with aphasia. It's a disorder that affects your speech. So it's not just because he's old or just phoning it in. It's sad how many people are so cruel and judgmental before considering their words first. He's made some incredible films and not so long ago. Red, for instance. He was great in that one. And obviously the man is a legend for Die Hard, alone. Let's give him his props. This movie isn't his fault. I mean, he was hardly in it anyway. I was actually excited to see Devon Sawa. I'm glad I'm seeing him more these days. I hope he gets some more and better projects in the future. He's a good actor. Better than Luke Wilson,, just my opinion. This film could have been better. So that's always a disappointment. But keep in mind, it has a great audience score. You might enjoy it. I'm definitely not mad I watched and it certainly wasn't a waste of time.
