a5c7b9f00b A gang of ex-cons rob a casino during Elvis convention week. Hardened criminals Thomas J. Murphy and Michael Zane lead a gang of five using an Elvis impersonators conventioncover to violently rob the Riviera Casino. The others get eliminated either during the heist or infighting (allegedly?) over the way to divide the loot and launder it. Zane returns to the desert rat hole &#39;last Chance&#39; sleazy diner run by divorced Cybil Waingrow, who makes a second income of seducing and robbing men with and for her smart cheeky rascal Jesse. Once she knows about the laundering, Cybil dumps Jesse of Zane so she can try to steal it, but Murphy, who already left a bloody trail including dead cops, recruits a new team, just like the police. Fortunes and betrayal keep shifting while the victims pile up. I can&#39;t understand why so many of you people hate this movie. I&#39;m a big fan of Kurt Russel, and this is the best movie I have seen with him since &quot;Soldier&quot;. It is also fun to see Kevin Costner playing the evil bank robber for a change. This movie is perfect if you&#39;ve had a bad day. If you don&#39;t enjoy watching violence, SWAT teams gunned down along with other cops, and classic car chases, then probably you should stay away from this movie. Personally I rate it 7. 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&#39;ll meet them somewhere in the middle.<br/><br/>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&#39;s character) its hard not give it a chance and I think it deserves people watching it, at least fans of action films.<br/><br/>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 worseit progresses. Top all this off with an obvious and yet unfitting ending and you have 3000 Miles to Graceland.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>6/10 On the reasonable assumption that no movie featuring an Elvis impersonator can be wholly bad, I was prepared for a high old time at 3000 Miles to Graceland, which exhibits a plenitude of Elvi. The exhibition does not last very long, however. Less than a third of the way through, the filmmakers jettison the premise and trash their own movie.
