Synopsis

It was an ingenious enough plan: rob the Riviera Casino's count room during an Elvis impersonator convention. But Thomas Murphy decided to keep all the money for himself and shot all his partners, including recently-freed ex-con Michael Zane. With $3.2 million at stake, the Marshals Service closing in, Michael must track down Murphy.

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
ms_scratch-57435 What so many reviewers are missing is the fact that the two DNA tests that proved inconclusive on the 75 people tested to be Elvis' illegitimate sons (according to the movie), were the characters played with gusto by Kurt Russell and Kevin Costner- they were the possible sons. We never learn where Kurt Russell got that amazing red '57 Cadillac, but it was there for him when he got out of prison. He said his dad died and left him a boat. At the end of the movie, we find out the boat was named Graceland. The license plate on the Caddie read 1KING. The son was Kurt Russell, and possibly Kevin Costner. The two didn't meet in jail but during the DNA testing. This is all stuff the viewer must figure out for themselves, but the clues are there!
gwnightscream Kurt Russell, Kevin Costner, Courteney Cox, David Kaye, Christian Slater, David Arquette, Bokeem Woodbine, Kevin Pollak, Thomas Haden Church, Howie Long and Ice-T star in this 2001 action film. This begins with ex-con, Michael (Russell) who works with a group of men, Murphy (Costner), Hanson (Slater), Gus (Arquette) and Franklin (Woodbine) pulling off a Las Vegas casino heist dressed as Elvis Presley impersonators. Soon, things go bad when Franklin is shot in the process by cops and Murphy decides to kill Hanson, Gus and Michael for the money. Michael survives and tries to get the stolen money back, but has help when he meets attractive woman, Cybil (Cox) and her young son, Jesse (Kaye). Pollak (The Usual Suspects) plays cop, Damitry, Church (Spider-Man 3) plays his partner, Quigley, Long (Broken Arrow) plays pilot, Jack and T (New Jack City) plays gun expert, Hamilton. This is a good action flick with a cool cast and Costner is a good bad guy. I recommend this.
ZJFox43 This is one of those good average movies. I love a good action movie and this has it, yet the sex and bad language was unneeded. But, as is the case, this is what the people want.The movie does do well in showing the terribleness of guns while still having good action scenes. The violence is not unlike that of more historical movies like 300 or worse. The violence is artistic, (if violence can ever be called that,) but it is violent. More or less, the bad content goes down to sex and language, take that out you have a violent action movie few would complain about. The movie has a good story involving a young boy, named after Jesse James the war hero turned criminal. The kid in the beginning is fascinated with gangsters which is a good theme for teens.Overall I must say it is a good movie for action fans who can handle the content, but these are things so abundant in our culture that people may fail to see the problem. If you, like I, don't like bad language there is better movies. If violence is what you don't like, there are good dramas and comedy's without it. Don't like sex in movies, as I feel the same with, let me know of good movies without it. But, it can be said that there are worse movies when it comes to content.
puttputtk 3000 Miles to Graceland (2001) This is a tricky film to rate and review. Do I rate it based off of how entertaining it was or do I rate it based on how terrible it is. I guess I'll meet them somewhere in the middle.To start with the positives, 3000 Miles to Graceland is very entertaining and keeps you watching. It has a lot of cool effects and great action sequences, and a relatively decent storyline, though ridiculous in many ways. One other thing I have good to say about it is that it has some pretty good cinematography, not always, but often. With an all star cast like they have (personally I love Costner's character) its hard not give it a chance and I think it deserves people watching it, at least fans of action films.On the other hand, the film is actually pretty terrible. Very bad acting by most of the cast, and a lot of generic and stupid dialog. As I mentioned, it does have a good root idea for the storyline. However, trying to be cool, and more action packed weakened the plot and made the film get worse as it progresses. Top all this off with an obvious and yet unfitting ending and you have 3000 Miles to Graceland.I think a lot of people will like this film if they are going into it looking for a hardcore action film and not looking for an overall good film. It will keep you entertained but I think whether you like it or not you will probably agree that the action is the only thing holding the film together and making it watchable.6/10
