Opening with metallic computer-generated scorpions battling in a scorching desert wasteland, 3000 Miles to Graceland announces itself as one helluva nasty movie. A comedic wallow in antiheroic violence, the movie vomits off the screen, as if director Demian Lichtenstein--obviously a veteran of music videos--had mainlined amphetamines before stepping behind his oh-so-busy camera. In a futile attempt to out-Woo John Woo, Lichtenstein goes to extremes to achieve a kind of absurd in-your-face exhilaration, and for additional thrills, the movie gives second-billing to Kevin Costner in the most vile role of his career. As leather-clad Elvis impersonator and Presley bastard child Thomas Murphy, Costner's like a black-sheep brother to Raising Arizona's biker from hell. With four accomplices including a fellow Elvis worshipper named Michael (Kurt Russell), Murphy storms a Vegas casino for a $3.2 million robbery that turns into a haywire bloodbath. Partners are eliminated, double-crosses abound, and Michael connects with a trashy sexpot (Courteney Cox Arquette) whose preteen son (David Kaye) is a precocious criminal in training. Murphy's on their trail, FBI agents are on Murphy's, and gradually things get really nasty. We're supposed to laugh at the blackness of it all, and sometimes the ballsy humor scores a bull's-eye. The road-movie action accommodates several twists of plot, and while Russell's enjoying a semireprise of his performance in John Carpenter's Elvis, there's something perversely thrilling about Costner's deadpan ruthlessness. But really, how amoral can one movie be without wearing out its welcome? Frenetically depraved, 3000 Miles to Graceland is like exotic roadkill: morbidly fascinating until you get a whiff of its stench. --Jeff Shannon

This is one of the worst scripted movies i have ever watched.I bought the dvd because I am a huge Kurt Russell fan. It went into the garbage can after the 1st viewing. The plot and storyline are horrible.

Sure seems like we have a lot of uptight movie reviewers here.
This is a great flick with a lot of action and a fun story. People need to stop over-analyzing it as some kind of Elvis tribute, etc. It's not. It doesn't try to be. It's simply an action movie with a simple plot. Easy to follow and fun to watch. Lots of action. Lots of violence.
I absolutely loved the soundtrack - seems they picked the right tunes at the right time to set the tone for each scene. For example, "Vapor Trail" by The Crystal Method is used to set the tone for their initial arrival into Vegas and "Smartbomb" by BT on their entrance into the casino. It's perfect music with perfect timing. The music really controls the mood throughout the movie.
So ignore the detractors. Just watch the movie for the fun of it. It's an entertaining flick. No matter how good a movie is, you'll always get reviewers who insist on being contrary just for the sake of being contrary or jumping on a bandwagon just because everyone else is. Most of the negative reviews seem about as eloquent as something written by an 8 year old - that alone should tell you something.
