Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Movie
Review: I don't care to much for Kevin Costner but this was a good movie. Costner and Russell do pretty good in the film and it was funny.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: 3000 MILES IS A BIT TOO FAR.
Review: RUSSELL AND COSTNER BOTH TURN IN DECENT PERFORMANCES IN THIS FLICK. COSTNER SEEMS TO REVEL IN PLAYING A SINISTER, CRIMINAL RE INCARNATION OF ELVIS. RUSSELL WHO AWED AUDIENCES SOME TWENTY YEARS AGO AS ELVIS MAY BE THE BEST 'KING' MIMIKER YET WITH HIS "THANK YA, THANK YA VERY MUCH." ROUTINE.

BUT UNFORTUANATELY THE STAR POWER OF THESE TWO GREAT ACTORS CANT DO MUCH FOR A WANING SCRIPT AND A MOVIE THAT SCREAMS TO BE EDITED INTO A SHORTER VERSION.

RUSSELL AND COSTNER WHO PLAY WELL OFF OF EACH OTHER RUN A CREW OF ELVIS'S WHO METHODICLY TAKE DOWN A VEGAS CASINO. THERE IS PLENTY OF SLOW MO SHOWERING BRASS AND SPORRATIC MACHINE GUN FIRE TO KEEP THE ACTOINEERS PUMPED UP. BUT AFTER THE FAST PACED MACHINE LIKE ROBBERY THE MOVIE STARTS TO LANGUISH SOMEWHAT.

FORTUNATELY THE CHARACTERS PLAYED BY CHRISTIAN SLATER AND DAVID ARQUETTE ARE KILLED OFF RATHER QUICKLY AS NEITHER ACTOR CAN REALLY ACT. AND ARQUETTE IS UNBELIEVABLE PLAYING ANYTHING BUT WHAT HE IS, A BROTHER TO FAMOUS ACTRESSES WHO EXCELLS AT BEING A 'GOOF.' I CHEERED WHEN THESE TWO GOT OFFED.

FROM THERE IT IS JUST AN EPIC JOURNEY TO SEE WHO CAN OUT WIT, OUT SHOOT OR OUT CON THE OTHER GUY. THE MOVIE DRAGS IN ITS ENDING
AND YOU GET TO THE POINT WHERE YOU JUST WANT TO SEE THE CAST ROLL SO YOU CAN REWIND THE TAPE AND MOVE ON TO SOMETHING ELSE.

ACTION FANS WILL BE GRATIFIED BY THIS FILM BUT FOR THE REST OF US
'3000 MILES TO GRACELAND' JUST GOES A BIT TOO FAR.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great movie mindless entertainment 4 stars, reccomend
Review: First this is not a drama. Second - it is very new in visual and style concept. You may like it or not, but it is very novel.
3-d - they used Fujifilm instead of Kodak and they knew what they were doing - the image is very snappy and ripe.

And 1-st again: it is pure entertainment, well done.

The actors are a dynamite set and they perform exactly like they should in that movie. Russel is great and Coster is fantastically authentic. There are certain flaws in editing so I take one star off the 5 rating.

You would not nominate this one for an Oscar yet will probably like it unless you are a movie critic or pretend you are one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cinematography
Review: I must say that the movie itself was fairly weak. But I'll still watch it every time it comes on HBO. What I really like about this movie was the cinematography, it was the exeptional aspect of the movie that I really liked. The movie was shot very well, because the Director of Photography obviously new very much what he was doing.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Man did this movie stink
Review: How can a movie with this good of a cast be this bad? It was a little more than 2 hours of mind numbing boredom. It was very predictable too. The DVD is good I guess but the movie was terrbile! If you are a fan of anybody at all in this movie pretend like it does not exist!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Low grade action--semi typical storyline
Review: I was expecting a more mysterious movie, but in the end this movie was just a collection of cheap lines and impossible situations. If not for the cool cars, the cool sideburns and the gorgeous Cybil, I would have given it one star. It is really a pretty mindless movie not to mention quite impossible. I also believe that Kevin Costner really had to 'stretch' his acting efforts to play this character. Kurt Russel on the other hand does a fine job as his role is well suited to him.

I would not recommend this movie to anyone.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Bloody Brainless Action That's still Enjoyable
Review: This flim is very similer to another violent gangster film in
Reservoir Dogs Just without the competent direction of quiten
Taratino. Kurt Russell And Kevin Costner are two hard core carrer
crimnals just sprung out of prison who pull off a major heist
of millons and millons of dollars at Las Vegas Casino disguised
as Elvis Impersonaters during a tribute to Elvis Convention.
Of Course things gets out of hand a bloody shootout transpires
killing people and sercurity guards all over the place. The Gang
makes off with the money but loses one of the members who was
killed by Vegas PD. Soon after the tension risies when one of the
other members wants the remaing stash of the money leftover and
gets blown away. Double crosses, Foul Languge, Viloence Galore,
a delvish Performace From Costner Who Pratcally Stole the Spotlight from Russell who i must admit is getting on in his
years and this film doesn't help restore him back to his glory days he has done nothing memroable since 1997's Thriller Breakdown. Not a classic by any means and the excessive viloence
it seems to glorify may turn off some Viewers. And what's with
Courtney Cox, as a greedy woman to steal the cash at any cost
as well Kurt Russell's love intrest, was totally stupid and was
not very convincing. Otherwise it is a good action film to see
on a saturday night.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Completely over the top, but lots of fun.
Review: Oh come on, people! Some movies are simply meant to be mindless fun. Anyone who watches this movie and complains all the way through it is much more concerned with being a movie critic than with having fun watching a movie. Sure, it's violent. Sure, the characters are irresponsible and totally insane. Sure, Costner's character is beyond evil and completely over the top. Were you really expecting intelligent character development? Then YOU'RE WATCHING THE WRONG MOVIE! The mindlessness of the film was simply reflective of the mindlessness of the storyline and of every character in it. That's the point, folks!

This movie was just plain fun. It had some witty dialogue, it had some fun music that fit the film well, and the action was suitably so far over the top that you couldn't get depressed by believing that it might actually happen. I mean, did you really want them to be serious about killing 20 or 30 security guards in a casino? Of course not! It's just a story, folks! I mean, anyone that doesn't enjoy a casino full of Elvis impersonators is just plain determined to not have fun at the movies. If you're not offended by violence and immoral characters, then see this movie and have a little fun.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Please don't watch this movie if you are under 17
Review: Please if you are under 17, please don't watch this movie until you are 17. But if you can't see this and in your teens I recomend you to watch Finding Graceland and Honeymoon in Vegas. While the movie only has 3 Elvis Presley songs, you can see 5 crooks dressing up as the king. The 3 Elvis Presley songs are Trouble, Such a Night, My Way. If you have never heard of Such a Night, this song is worth a listen whether you buy or rent this movie or buy or rented the soundtrack. Michael Zane (Kurt Russell), Thomas Murphy (Kevin Costner), Gus (David Arquette) and Franklin (Bokeem Woodbine) has teamed up to dress up like Elvis and rob the Riveria hotel and casino in Las Vegas. Whiel Jack (Howie Long) will fly them in a helicopter. But then a wroker watch tv screens notcies them robbing a room and calls secruity. And then a gun battle goes off in and on the roof of the cansio. Which leads Franklin to die in the helicopter after he geetins hit in an elvator. I don't know why Bokeem Woodbine was hired to be on of the crooks since he is black and Elvis Presley was white. Movies I reccomend you to watch are Finding Graceland, Honeymoon in Vegas, Jailhouse Rock, Viva Las Vegas and Lilo & Stitch.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Stop the Horror!!
Review: This is one of the craziest and most pointless movies ever created.

The basic formula for this movie seems to be "Lets blow people away for no obvious reason at all and see if anyone notices"!

Overall-The action scenes are gory even for an action movie and the ending you can see coming from 5 miles off.
