Gasoline Alley

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.

Same old recipe. Put Bruce Willis on the poster. Tickets get sold. Producers happy. Bruce Willis happy. Audience NOT happy! Why not? Because Bruce is only starring in this movie for less than 15 minutes in total. Like in all of his B-movies in the last years.

Bruce Willis has gotten a tummy lately and he almost seems drugged by something, because he is mumbling in such a catatonic, wooden way. His wooden appearance (mumbling, no expression) seems to get worse with age. He really looks old now and fatigued. Better retire Bruce, but I guess he has got some kind of suffocating contract that obliges him to keep turning out 5 movies a year.

Not any good then? The supporting actors in this movie are actually better than Bruce Willis' acting performance. Luke Wilson is even starring in it! He is a funny fella! Although in this movie he is acting seriously. But his performance is allright.

More "good": The photography is quite decent. The editing is as well. The story aint ridiculous. That's a plus. It's not really thrilling, although it aint terrible either.

From all the crap Bruce has been churning out lately, this is one of the not so terrible movies... NOT recommended though ofcourse...

B R U C E

At an (excrucially) important sidenote, let us not forget WHY we are watching Bruce Willis movies to begin with. We watch Bruce Willis movies because of DIE HARD (1988). THE ONE AND ONLY BIGGEST ACTION AMERICAN ACTION CLASSIC OF THE CENTURY.

This classic is still standing strong after more than 30 years. Millions of people still REwatch it during every Christmas holiday. Recently a petition was launched to rename Nakatomi Plaza into DIE HARD plaza.

A life time achievement award for Bruce Willis is in the making as well, so I have heard...

DIE HARD (1988) NEVER DIES but is still ALIVE AND KICKING in 2022. Let's celebrate that!

No one here seems to know about his cognitive decline and are bashing a man who is suffering from a severe illness, everyone telling him to retire and that he's a horrible actor or his lines are wooden should maybe just look up his name before bashing it. He IS retired and he has had a condition that causes his speech and thought to not function properly the way his brain attempts to convey it. Have some sympathy, I don't care how bad the movie is you shouldn't only point out the one actor who's barely in it and is actually suffering. If it was his fault he wouldn't be in the movie and the other crew should've known better than to use him in his condition.

Now that the "truth" has been revealed regarding Mr. Willis and his condition, according to most reporting he had no idea where he was or why he was in the films that he was in after 2020, giving lines fed to him like a parrot through a mic and not understanding what he was saying or why he was.

In other words, Bruce is "in" this film but he has no idea he was. And the producers and other actors plainly could see what was happening for themselves, they just mostly said nothing.

It's a sad end to a brilliant career, and screams "exploitation" to me. Bruce deserves better.

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.
