Rating: Summary: Thank You! Thank You Very Much! Review: This movie is an intoxicationg blend of violence, sex and gold lame. If you like alot of mayhem in your movies then this one is for you! Kurt Russell and Kevin Costner have given much better performances (which is hard to admit because I am a huge fan of Kurt Russells) but Courtney Cox gives a standout performance as the trashy, hoodlum raising Cybil Waingrow. I don't think this movie is a necessity for your DVD collection but Courtneys performance makes it worth the rental price alone!

Kurt Russell and Kevin Costner have given much better performances (which is hard for me to say because I am a huge fan of Kurt Russells) but Courtney Cox Arquette lights up the screen! She gives a standout performance as the trashy, hoodlum raising Cybil Waingrow. This movie would make a fun rental but is not a necessity in your collection. It's worth at least one watch for Courtneys performence alone!
Rating: Summary: A Big Budget Action Film with B-Movie Material Stuff. Review: When Five Elvis Impersonators (Kurt Russell, Two Time Oscar-Winner:Kevin Conster, David Arquette, Christian Slater and Bokeem Woodbine) are Planning to Rob the Casino in Las Vegas but it`s gets out of Hand, when they Succeed the Steal the Loot with Mayhem of Violence. The Plan Changes also, when one of the Elvis Impersonators Dies and Another One betrayed his Team, killed everyone in the Gang, expect for One, who has Survived. Now, he wants to get back to the Loot with the help of a Mother (Countney Cox Arquette) and Her Son (David Kaye).Stylish, Trashy and Occasional Silly but Entertaining Action Film. Directed by Demian Lichtenstein (Also the film Co-Writer), Keeps the Visual Style moving with this movie with the Enjoyable Over the Top Performance by Kevin Costner, Steals the Film, is also Cool to see Kurt Russell doing a Lipsing at the End Credits. DVD has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1) transfer and an strong Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. This was a Box Office Disappointment in Theaters but it will get a Cult Audiences on Video. Panavision. Grade:A-.
Rating: Summary: Stunningly Good Review: Wow! I watched 3000 Miles the other night and was shocked by how good it was. I would have thought that Tarantino filmed this one. At turns humorous and nasty, fun and funny, the movie keeps you guessing right up until the end. Its also nice to see Courtney Cox actually playing a sexy woman for a change, getting mean and doing the nasty. Interestingly, her husband has a cameo and is quickly killed off. That was worth the price of admission alone.
Rating: Summary: A Guilty Pleasure Review: Waited quite a while before seeing this film. I have now come to the conclusion that I will NEVER solely listen to critics again. Critics seem to forget that there is always room for fun, trashy, road films like this. Being a Costner fan, at least 75% of the time (hated Waterworld), I hesistated to see him as a bad guy. Loved the opening scorpion fight, the "western-style" shootout between Costner's bad guy, Murph, and the policeman, Costner's unending willingness to shoot everything and everybody in sight, the always present "trashy girl in the gas station that decides to ride along with the killer", the band of motorcycle guys who just happen to show up and say "hi" to Costner's Murphy just as he is enjoying himself in the car with the "trashy girl...". Doesn't anybody see how "over the top" this was supposed to be! Scene after scene was a road-movie cliche' designed for the audience to enjoy the ride. Mindless, trashy entertainment -- not the latest Oscar friendly film. Needless to say, I enjoyed every minute of this movie. A Note to Kevin: don't smoke in movies. For some reason, you just don't have the "touch" -- you're just messy and unnatural. Even in a great film like "The Untouchables" you look like a guy who shouldn't smoke. This movie was wonderful B-movie ... I'll recommend it to all my friends.
Rating: Summary: Hilarious Review: Absurdly violent, questionable acting by all, a screenplay with holes all over the place, and ridiculously over the top action sequences. I loved it! Not in the same class as "Pulp Fiction" but certainly enjoyable and most entertaining pulp.
Rating: Summary: All Elvis all the time. Review: We wish. It's worth sitting through for the spectacular Elvis robs Las Vegas sequence. Kurt Russell does his Clint Eastwood impersonation and his fabulous Elvis. Costner plays a bad guy...very very well..a little too well. Courtney Cox does a very passable bad girl act. Just as tough as the bad guys. This possibly alienates the audience but i liked it.
Rating: Summary: 25 Word Or Less Review Review: Enjoyable, cutesy B-movie. Solid late night basic television viewing. Helps if you like Elvis and hate Costner. Pity the Elvi left so soon.
Rating: Summary: NOT FOR KIDS! Review: I have no ideas why parents and adult guardians would be bring kids and teenagers under 17 to a R rated film like this one. Isn't R rated films not for them? As the movie opens, Michael Zane (Kurt Russell) meets Cybil Waingrow (Courteney Cox of tv's friends). While in bed with him, her son Jessie Waingrow (David Kayle) sneaks into the room and steals Zane's wallet. The next morning, Michael meets up with his ex-callmate, Thomas J. Murphy (Kevin Costner). And along with Hanson (Christan Slater), Gus (David Arqutte) and Franklin (Bokeem Woodbine) plan to rob a casino/hotel in Las Vegas. These guys talk all things Elvis, then planning the heist. Murphy: Who says the king is down? Michael: Oh come on man let it go. Murphy: Did I say something to you? So who says the king is down?
Rating: Summary: something to be said for low expectations Review: I hadn't heard one good thing about this movie, so I had nothing to be disappointed about in this movie's silliness. Just sit back and enjoy. Kevin Costner was HILARIOUS as the bad guy. If you're in a ludicrous movie, be ludicirous...why not? Kudos to him, and I can't stand Kevin Costner. The standoff scene with the highway cop was my favorite.
