3000 Miles to Graceland

Pros: Kurt Russell, Kevin Costner, Courtney Cox, Story, Cinematography, Direction
Cons: If only all caper movies could be this good!

I avoided seeing this movie for far too long and now that I have I have to tell you about it. It’s probably no secret that I am a long way from being a rabid Kevin Costner fan, in fact, except for a very few outings I’ve ran kicking and...

Pros: ...
Cons: This is just sad. You can't even laugh at it.

Imagine a film which combines the elements of Ocean’s 11 with Reservoir Dogs. Quentin Tarentino would serve as the producer while the director is an apprentice of Jerry Bruckeimer. Well, 3,000 Miles to...

Pros: The Flashy Costumes
Cons: Just about everything else.

How many ways can you waste fine acting talent? It would be a quite a job to go out and truly squander the talents of some of the finest actors in America today, but 3000 MILES TO GRACELAND does a good job of it. There were times when I felt like...

Pros: I'm really split on this one. Some good performances wasted on ridiculous plot
Cons: Ridiculous plot

Part of my problem with this movie was my perception of it from the trailers. I saw Kevin Costner with those Elvis sideburns and just thought I was going to see a comedy. I read none of the reviews nor had I talked to anyone since I saw it on the first...

Pros: Kurt Russell is a good Elvis.
Cons: All style, no substance; questionable morality, mostly involving the kid.

3000 Miles To Graceland is yet another film that I saw with a group of friends on a Saturday night. Typically, the roster of films seen with these group of people includes a number of trashy efforts, and it was eventually agreed upon (well, actually...

Pros: Nice cast, some decent action sequences
Cons: Stupid characters and dumb plot

3000 Miles to Graceland is another bad movie Kevin Costner can add to his ever-growing list of bad movies. Kurt Russel seems to be in a rut ever since that horrible Soldier movie from a couple of years ago. Courtney Cox looks good as always, but was...

Pros: Stuff being shot up and blown up
Cons: about 30 or 40 minutes where nothing is blown up

3000 Miles to Graceland is a lot better than people are saying.

First of all, you have to know going in, that this is a guy movie, an action guy movie, one where the plot is secondary to everything else.
Is this a bad thing? Of course...

Pros: Plenty of Big Names
Cons: Violence without any redeeming characters = depressing film

I decided to rent this movie even though from all I heard and most of the epinions I read it was without any merits.

The reason I rented it anyway was because we were going to Vegas in a few days and I thought it would get us in the right...

Pros: This movie makes an overt attempt at being cool.
Cons: It goes way overboard and doesn't give us anything we haven't seen before.

It's international Elvis week in Las Vegas, Nevada, but crime will be the real king when five ex-cons turned Elvis impersonators rob the Riviera Casino. Led by Kevin Costner ("13 Days") and Kurt Russell ("Breakdown") the gang will turn the Riviera into...

Pros: Actors played their parts well, action keeps going
Cons: Over done violence, not believable from beginning to end

3000 Miles to Graceland was a complete surprise to me. It has an R rating, but that means nothing, sometimes R is relatively mild, otherwise over-the-limit sex and violence. This pic was over-the limit for me. Murphy (Kevin Costner) was a character...

Pros: Kevin and Kurt and the gang were awesome
Cons: shouldn't have killed off the 3 other members that soon in the movie.

Before I ever rented this movie I passed it by many times in the video store. I figured the movie would be boring and all about a dead man named Elvis. Yes I liked Elvis, but I sure didn’t want to watch a movie about him. So I just kept passing ...

Pros: The novelty of a megastar in a shootemup is a scoring success for director Lichtenstein...
Cons: The cast could've done far better with a stronger script...

I'm not sure whether the title referred to the distance between Las Vegas and Memphis, or if it was an inside joke as to how far these guys looked from the King himself. At any rate, it was a welcome spin from all those assembly-line shootout flicks...

Pros: Kurt Russell; Courtney Cox
Cons: Weird

This movie is not what I expected when I rented the DVD from Netflix. It is not a movie about Elvis and Graceland is not in Memphis.

The movie opened with screen shots flashing back and forth between a red 59 convertible Caddy speeding...

Pros: It won't be in theatres long.
Cons: Overly long, overly directed, overly stupid, overly plotted, overly everything but entertaining.

Kevin Costner and Kurt (TV's "Elvis") Russell head a group of Elvis impersonators robbing a Las Vegas casino that is hosting an Elvis convention. That is a good idea. Did anyone connected to this film ever read anything beyond that one sentence before...

Pros: The film did in fact end eventually and Kurt Russell tried his best.
Cons: Repulsive tone, badly acted, terribly directed and written.

Has there even been a more repellent film released in recent years than 3000 Miles to Graceland? I'm pretty sure the answer would be no. A truly hysterically bad synergy of awful ideas, this film is the perfect storm, and the audience is the doomed...
