3000 Miles to Graceland (2001)

EW's GRADE
D+

Details Release Date: Aug 07, 2001; Movie Rated: R; Genres: Action/Adventure, Comedy, Mystery and Thriller; With: Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell; Distributor: Warner Bros.

Elvis Presley made 30 some odd movies in his motion picture career, and they all had two things in common: Elvis pretty much played the same character (a genial Southern boy who gets into girl trouble with his looks and gets out of it with a song) and none of the films were very good. They are all, however, better than 3000 Miles to Graceland, which buries a decent premise -- five Elvis impersonators rob a casino during Elvis week in Vegas -- under sloppy direction, hammy acting, and unimaginative writing. The only thrill to be found is in seeing Russell, who played Elvis 22 years ago in a memorable TV biopic, back in the King's duds.
