Summary: Pretty Good Movie
Review: Even though this movie wasn't in theaters long, that does not reflect the great acting and story in this movie. Most people have all but written Keven Costner off, but this reaffirms his ability as a leading man. In probably one of his best roles he plays and Elvis worshipper who with his friend, Kurt Russell, conspire to knock off a casino. The heist goes as planned but Costner tries to off everyone on his team to keep the money for himself. Fortunatley Kurt Russell lives to hunt him down and try to take the money back.. The rest of the movie is a cat and mouse game between Costner, Russell, and the authorities. Hang on for the chase!

Summary: Graceful it is not, but in the spirit of the King it is!
Review: Like many people I skipped out on seeing this in the theaters, I wish i hadn't, the explosive action is fantastic. Being a big fan of Kurt Russell, I had to see it, so I had so extra cash went out and grabbed the DVD. what (stinks) is no extras, but the film is still great, where it lacks on extras it makes up for in movie! so the plot is ho-hum, so is any action movie. If you love action movies and kurt Russell, see this as soon as possible. Oh and guess what Kevin Costner is an awesome bad guy. Costner's on a comeback, with 13 days and this, Way to go Kevin. Then there's good old Courtney Cox who seems talented as a big screen actress as well as sexy! No nudity though, so chill (....) Blus Doesn't everyboday love Elvis1 You should if you don't. i enjoyed this movie, and it ranks up with all my action DVD collection. It's fun, it's violent, it's a kick (...) movie with an awesome elvis theme...please click the "add to cart" button. Then go to check out, and in a few days you'll thank me!! they need to rerelease tis one in theaters, now that everyone knows it isn't a bad movie like....water world!

Summary: Precisely what ails Hollywood...
Review: This film has it all: bad-boy road trip, conniving one-dimensional female character with cute kid, splashy-bloody Vegas heist, unrelenting comic book-style violence, car chases, missing money, bloodbath ending a la Scarface, happy ending for the survivors, and - oh, yes - really cool, in-your-face metal-meets-Elvis music soundtrack. This exemplifies exactly what the Hollywood movie machinery has deemed what the public wants (and apparently, judging by the other reviews here, does): a music video director directing name stars playing shallow characters in a shoot-em-up technical showcase with loud accompanying music. If this is your cup of tea, enjoy...

Summary: COX's steamiest, COSTNER's darkest role yet
Review: Even when I have been warned by the critics and the media I will give a 'hold up' flick a watch no matter what.Throw Kevin Costner into the mix and you add a bit of legitimization. Kurt Russel and Courtney Cox in the lineup and you know that the producer really stood behind this project, no matter how Tarantino-esque things are about to get. In order to enjoy a movie we are supposed to slip into a state of suspension of disbelief as we are watching the film. How deep and how long we stay in this state is porportional to how well we enjoy the movie. It's an easy formula, but it is one that is often blown and disrupted by various amature factors at work in the movie industry. Although this movie has some interesting assertions and it is definately an extreme story - it is not so crazy that it slips into the "only in the movies" category. Costner made the casino robbery seem not so over the top, despite the music video director's turn at the wheel. There were a lot of bullets, a lot of action and yet the band literally played on. I am not used to Costner as the bad guy, and sometimes that means that the role is awkward and the actor is just trying to prove he is versatile. Not with Kevin, he was very believable as the intense and dark leader of the doomed pack. Courtney Cox delivered a good performance and looked incredible. She pulled out a sexy side you don't see in her too much and went a lot furthur than her husband (also in the movie) or you would believe in her scenes with Kurt Russell. I enjoyed this movie and will recommend it to anyone who likes a good action/robbery movie with an interesting story. It does not break any new ground (Hollywood formula = plan the crime, do the crime, watch back end of plan fall apart, hero character squeezes the lemons and makes lemonade with whats left) but it does entertain. What adds depth to this movie is the backstory and the smart duo of Courtney Cox and her son. Blind bad luck strikes them a blow at every turn and with sharp wits and good timing they keep turning the odds back in their favor. The Elvis tie in that this movie exploits is actually fascinating and very plausible. I love a movie that makes me think about situations in real life after I have watched the film and this is one of those. Buy it, rent it, whatever, but take a couple of hours out of your boring afternoon and watch this movie. Unless you like a more serious, heavy handed film.

Summary: awsome shootout
Review: This movie is awesome. The shootout scenes are comparable if not better that which occur in Heat(Kilmer-Deniero), if not better. This movie also throws in some dry humor, which can be pretty funny at times. If you like action, you will love this movie. I bought it, and me and my friends watch it over and over.

Summary: I`m All Shook Up!
Review: Well this movie has not even hit our shores here in the UK yet, probably due to the bad publicity it took in the USA. However, having watched the movie, it is [a great] Action film!! Focusing on a robbery on a Las Vegas casino, and the chaos that insues as to who gets the money, it is excellent entertainment! Superbly directed, with very clever camera shots, the film makes previous budget DVD`s like Red Planet and Get Carter look like a a joke! Kevin Costner rolls back the years to his Untouchable days with a starring performance as the movie's bad guy, while Kurt Russell brilliantly stars aside him as his aide. The supporting cast in the movie is enough to be the main cast in most films, and at less than fifteen bucks, you are unlikely to pick up a bargain like this again. However, dont purchase the DVD expecting a wealth of features, as it has probably the worst set of features I have seen. All we get is the regular theatrical trailer, and a half hearted biography of some of the cast! ...

Summary: GET 3000 miles AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE!
Review: Hmmm... I am thinking what awful aspect of this movie I should cover first. Let me first explain that I was sooo excited to finally be able to watch this DVD. I put the DVD into my player and ran the movie. To my surprise, I find 3D animation of 2 scorpions fighting which kind of made me raise an eyebrow towards the lack of correlation between the movie and the animation. Nonetheless I started watching the movie. To my suprise, most of the favorites in this movie were not even given "significant" parts. You will come to learn of what I mean by this when you watch the movie. In my mind, I was thinking this movie would be about 5 guys planning and scheming a big casino heist in Las Vegas during some Elvis convention. Guess What?! The heist is only 4-5 minutes at the max. The actual movie is more about laundering the money and how the money keeps changing hands. So basically you have to guess who is going to keep the money. The only half decent actor/actress in this movie was Courney Arquette, who played a somewhat decent "whorish" single mother. Putting it all together, 3000 Miles to Graceland, kept fumbling around with different ideas and character developments, yet failed to completely let the ideas and development flow through the movie. -Sheraz

Summary: FUNNY AND JOHN WOO-LIKE... COSTNER'S MEANEST ROLE EVER
Review: After seeing this movie, I will never look at Kevin Costner the same way again. He played the role of a ruthless S.O.B. down to PERFECTION. Trust me, by the time the movie clocks 30 minutes you'll FEAR him. I thought the movie was pretty entertaining because of its mix of filmaking techniques. I searched, with no success, the cast and crew credits for names like Quentin Tarantino and John Woo. The cast seems like a Tarantino casting call. Everyone and their mothers are in this one, including Kurt Russell, Kevin Costner, David Arquette, Courtney Cox, Christian Slater, Bokeem Woodbine, Howie Long and even Ice-T! Phew! True, not all of them give stellar performances, but who cares as long as they're all swinging guns John Woo style?! Wasn't the greatest flick of all time, but it made for a great rental. Check it out.
