Rextrent Enjoyed this dark crime drama. The common gratuitous violence, sex, and profane language are absent. That alone scores highly for me. Also, the run time is about 90 minutes. Bruce Willis says and does very little. Not a great movie, but ...a real diversion. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review Steve D Come for Willis and Wilson. Leave because they are not in it more than a handful of scenes. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/10/23 Full Review - The SOUND EFFECTS .... OMG did they get the work experience kid to do them? The squib that goes off without a gunshot, starting the motorbike with two kicks, but the sound says it started on the first, then he revs it without it revving ... AND THE REST. I have NEVER seen such terrible sound effects short of a student film, and clearly NOBODY in the production team even bothered to watch this movie to check it for mistakes. The clear and obvious continuity problems, the revolver which somehow loses entier cartridges when it fires to give a visual indication of how many shots are left (WT actual F) ... I can only assume this film was made by children in a back yard. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Overall, while actor Devon Sawa is giving a great effort to the leading role, it kills me to say it, but I found this film extremely disappointing.  With a plot that becomes uninteresting quickly, it is a hard slog.  Continuity errors, poor lighting, obvious stand-ins and stunt doubles all add to the disinterest.  The musical score is bland and forgettable, along with the attempts at big reveals, which are quite predictable.  As a story, it's a complete eye-rolling experience that becomes vague and boring very quickly, and Bruce Willis fans will be saddened yet again to see the action star is hardly in the film. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Jeff T Edward Drake returns with his darkest thriller yet, taking us deep into a world of murder, drugs and blurred lines. Gasoline Alley is a gripping thriller. Devon Sawa leads Gasoline Alley. He plays ex-con Jimmy Jayne. When Jimmy is framed for the murder of four women, he takes it upon himself to try and clear his name, as all the evidence is starting to make him look guilty, he's a DNA strand away heading back to prison. Sawa is very underrated and not given the credit he is due, he can carry roles with such ease, whether it be hero or villain, Sawa always brings his A-game and delivers a quality performance. Gasoline Alley is no exception, Sawa brings the character of Jimmy to life and his performance keeps you tuned in, he is very reminiscent of Dom from the original Fast & Furious movie. (Forget the over exaggerated blown out of proportion sequels that followed) Luke Wilson and Bruce Willis play two detectives who are investigating the murders. It was great to see Wilson on screen, he has always been a good actor and just like Sawa, Wilson can handle his own. Familiar face, Bruce Willis reunites with director Edward Drake, though he isn't onscreen all that much, his character Freeman is a key figure throughout the movie. Freeman is an old school detective with a good reputation in the police department. Gasoline Alley doesn't shy away from the topic it sets upon the audience. Murder, deceit, drugs and prostitution. It is all shown as it probably is in the underworld, everything and everyone is a commodity ready to be bought, sold or even killed. Overall, Gasoline Alley is a gritty thriller that sees Devon Sawa deliver a solid performance, the finale is what fans will be waiting to see, when Sawa finally goes Rambo. There's an exhilarating car chase which sees Sawa's character having to outrun a Land Rover in his badass Chevy SS! The scene felt like Drakes nod/homage to Bullet. There's a fight scene between Devon and an assassin which is really cool, as it is not a fancy flurry of kicks and punches, it's a quick and brutal rough and tumble fight scene where every hit is felt. Drake scatters some cool nods through the movie, a set chair makes an appearance from Drake's previous movie, American Siege. Sawa's character visits the set of a movie titled American Siege and we get a cool shot of a set chair. Another is a doctor called Dr. Feelgood, a subtle nod to rock band Motley Crue? Guys, fuel up with beer and crisps, kick back and enjoy Gasoline Alley! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/30/22 Full Review Audience Member Gasoline Alley isn't nearly as bad as the other recent Bruce Willis flicks. Wilson and Willis are investigating the deaths of 4 rough women and a tattoo artist that seems to be involved. Not a brilliant plot line, but not the worst movie in the pile.
