Rating: - Willie Brown is coming to town
Eugene (Ralph Macchio), is a young white kid obsessed with the blues. He's read every book imaginable and wonders what ever became of the last song recorded by Robert Johnson. He thinks the answer is being kept secret by an old blues harmonica player named Willie Brown (Joe Seneca). Willie is having health problems and residing against his will at a nursing home. When the youngster pays him a visit the old man dismisses him. Since the kid persists he agrees to give him the lost song if he'll help him bust out of the nursing home. This dangerous offer spooks Eugene but proves too irresistible. It doesn't take long for these two to start hoboing across the South. Willie wants to get back home and promises Eugene that once there the song is his. The two run out of funds quickly and are forced to hitchhike. A sexy, young runaway named Frances (Jami Gertz) joins the pair for one leg of their journey and romances Eugene. The film is fun and full of awesome music. That end duel is amazing. I don't know who Steve Vai is but dude can play. Seneca is the life of the movie. He's hilarious and as quick with a quip as he is on harmonica. Macchio and him riff off each other beautifully. Speaking of beautiful, Jami Gertz is good in her half hour of screen time. Things really pick up when Willie commandeers an old juke joint he used to play at and jams with his young protege. The great Joe Morton appears as the Devil's assistant. An interesting and fun film from director Walter Hill.
