A skilled band of criminals gang together with a goal to get rich at the 2001 International Elvis Convention in Las Vegas. Dressed to the nines as flawless Elvis impersonators and armed with enough ammo and electronic gadgets to easily knock off any establishment, it's no surprise when, at the last minute, the deal goes bad. A wild action-adventure film with twisting plot and a kicking soundtrack by George Clinton, 3,000 MILES TO GRACELAND is a non-stop rollicking ride. [More]

Lichtenstein grooves on bullets and blood and bedlam, but there's no grace, no drama, no sense of honor to the violence.

Too much of the film is pure filler, visuals manipulated for onanistic purposes.

The picture feels longer than Presley's career and as irrelevant as he was by the end.

It should be banned from theaters on the grounds that anyone unwittingly seeing it is being subjected to cruel and unusual punishment.

The film borrows lavishly from Oliver Stone's oeuvre, only it borrows the wrong things.

With or without the ridiculous body count, this mindless movie is D.O.A. in a theater near you.

A sour and mean-spirited enterprise so desperate to please, it tries to be a yukky comedy and a hard-boiled action picture at the same time.

From its first jumpsuited Elvis to its last fireball, 3000 Miles to Graceland can be called meretricious, but not soporific.

The violence is brutal and, literally and figuratively, smacks of overkill.

Elvis would write this one off as a jailhouse crock.

Nonsense from its first frame to its last, stupid beyond even the conventions of its genre, it begs the question of responsibility.

A film that takes a shot at redefining shameless for a new generation.

3000 Miles to Graceland has the schizophrenic look and feel of something that has been stamped 'Return to Sender' on more than one occasion.
