It's not funny, brutally violent, packed with despicable characters and utterly meaningless.

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]

Reviews for 3000 Miles to Graceland
Lichtenstein grooves on bullets and blood and bedlam, but there's no grace, no drama, no sense of honor to the violence.
This latest example of violent amorality in contemporary movies is just too cluttered, disorganized and messy.
A grimy, ultra-violent, long and stupidly plotted Quentin Tarantino wanna-be.
Too amoral, and too bloody, and the ending would make John Woo blush, and it's so hip it's practically perverse about it. But it is kind of cool.
3000 Miles to Graceland shouldn't be reviewed in an arts section but rather in that portion of the newspaper dedicated to atrocities, environmental disasters and hate crimes.
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.
Graceland is a slick exercise in cinema excess in which the audience is asked to pick their favourites from a gallery of low lives and hope they can elude the justice and punishment they actually deserve.
3000 Miles To Graceland would have worked if even one main character were attractive as a human being.
The film borrows lavishly from Oliver Stone's oeuvre, only it borrows the wrong things.
Suffers from a bloated length, a misogynistic spirit and a predominantly humorless tone.
If you have a perverse desire to see Kevin Costner in the full throes of a midlife crisis, then by all means go see 3000 Miles to Graceland.
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.
