3000 Miles to Graceland

source: 3000 Miles to Graceland

2/10 for Kurt Russell's performance, which is about the only thing that keeps this film above water. Living in Las Vegas I know there is no Last Chance Motel outside of town or in the town. That was the first bad omen and set the tone for me for the rest of the film. I know, I know - literary license - but, Las Vegas is an international city and the writers and directors could have been a bit more creative. As far as robbing the Rivera Hotel - they are almost bankrupt and probably don't have that much cash on hand and robbers would more likely go (and have) someplace else. As far as the subplot with the mom and son - silly. The whole film is devoted to blood and more blood. Sickening. Would someone please help pay for Kevin Costner's acting lessons. Outside of "Dances with Wolves" Costner's abilities are nada, at least in front of the camera.

I liked this movie. It has so many good qualities. The way Kevin Costner played an evil man was interesting. I liked the connection he had with NOBODY. Yes, you heard that right, he didn't like anybody but himself. Kurt Russell was great. I liked the way he connected to that kid. The most STUPID part was when ICE T appeared at the end....swinging UPSIDE down...from some kind of pully device...spinning in circles and shooting his machine guns. Stupid move on HIS part. Other than that, this movie was fun. With KURT and KEVIN, it's hard to go wrong.

Terrible. Positively disgustingly terrible. That they wasted film on a movie like this is a crime. That they wasted Courteney Cox's beautiful booty on a movie like this is a capital offense. 1/10 ( for Courteney's sake)

This thing is actually quite entertaining for half an hour, but I have no idea what follows afterwards. A sad thing, because I was quite into the plot and really wondered what would happen to the villains, even if they were about as menacing as lawn chairs. All I remember from the second half is a lot of driving. Then the characters stop to further the plot in no way. Then they leave again and stop at the next place that has no bearing to anything. It all just seems really pointless, and this kind of stuff goes on forever. Then there's a decent ending scene to wrap it all up, but I was too angry with this movie to still care. Also, the subplot about Elvis and how some of the characters could be his sons is seriously retarded. This movie had a lot of potential, but the mind-numbingly boring second half sucks out all the fun.

This is a good movie with an imaginative story and great acting, especially by Kevin Costner and Courtney Cox, who give really impressive performances. As for Kevin Costner, he gives a great "bad guy" performance as a psychopathic killer who believes he is Elvis Presley's son. At first the movie seems to be a comedy, with a gang of guys posing as Elvis Presley look-alike trying to rob a casino, but after the robbery, which nets 3 million dollars, the story takes a far more serious turn as Kevin Costner sets out to systematically eliminate everyone who directly or indirectly had anything to do with the robbery. Kurt Russell plays one of the robbers who ultimately confronts Kevin Costner. This is a good movie and is worth watching.

A totally wild action ride with plenty of glitz, glam, and flim flam - buckle yourself in for quite a ride with some cool performances by all the main players - hard to lose with Kurt and Kevin playing the main roles with heart and gusto and lots of good supporting players. Great sound track. Yes, its super violent too but just remember - "GO WOMBATS!!!"

As short as possible: this movie blows, bad everything(especially directing), worse story and characters, even worse soundtrack(memorable songs from other movies in this lame stupid and lame movie just make it even lamer!) MORE THAN NUFF SAID!!! 3/10

The title of this movie is very misleading. Besides the fact that there was a gang of robbers dressed as Elvis to begin the movie, this movie could not have been less about Graceland. The movie started out rather fast, furious, and exciting. There was some good action, drama, and suspense. Then that all went away. The movie went soft in my opinion. It lost its grit and its edge. Sure, Kostner's character provided a very sinister and ruthless bad guy (very good character and very good job by Kostner I might add), but the movie spiraled out of control by adding secondary characters to muck up the plot. If the movie had finished half as decent as it begun, then I would have been able to finish watching it and give it maybe a six or seven rating. But, because I got fed up and turned it off, I could not give it more than a four.

This had to be one of the most disappointing movies I have seen this year. The premise seemed funny enough, and the cast was certainly of an all-star nature. Unfortunately, there was no substance to the movie. It seemed to be more like a dis-jointed, violent, rock video. There seemed to be more emphasis on strange camera angles and effects than there was on the story (what story there was). The gun battles were just so non-sensical and silly, that one had to wonder. If these guys were smart enough to get into a Casino and get the money (using high-tech gizmos), then how is that they had to shoot the hell out of the place to get out? For me, this ranks right down there with Gone in 60 Seconds. I would recommend using this movie as a door stop. 2/10
