Unlimitedia Sick Product of a Sick System

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

tilak *DO NOT BELIEVE NEGATIVE REVIEWS, IT'S A GOOD WATCH*I agree its not a extraordinary. From my point of view any movie which keeps your attention the whole duration is worth watching. It has decent story, wonderful acting from all the cast. The shooting in the end was too much,unrealistic and not needed,that's the weak point. Another weak plot device is coincidental meeting of cars. Kevin just saw jesse and mother driving. Casino. overall gun shooting is overly done and pretty unrealistic even in the beginning where casino robbery took place. despite the flaws it keeps you entertained,at the edge of your seat. I must say you never have a dull moment while watching. on the same line emotions are minimal,and everything is to the point. No beating around the bush,makes a tout script. Funny hilarious dialogs are will keep you chuckling .

FlashCallahan Criminals Thomas J. Murphy and Michael Zane lead a gang of five disguising as Elvis impersonators, to rob the Riviera Casino. The others get eliminated either during the heist or fighting over the way to divide the loot and launder it. Zane returns to the 'last Chance' diner run by Cybil, who makes a second income of seducing and robbing men with and for her son Jesse. Once she knows about the loot, Cybil tries to hook up with Zane, so she can steal it, but Murphy is hot on their trail, leaving a bloody mess on his way.....There is no doubt that this film is a huge mess, and you will find out within five minutes if you are going to go with it, thanks to some bizarre fight at the beginning with CGI scorpions. From there on in,MIT goes from bizarre to totally nuts, and this is why it failed in my opinion, it really doesn't make sense,yet its a very simple premise.There's no real back story for any of the characters, we know Zane and Murphy were friends at some point, that's it, and that Murphy claims to be the son of Elvis. Major support are just threw at us, with no rationale, and as soon as they come, they go, like Arquette, Woodbine, and Slater.It does seem that the writers have been watching a lot of Tarantinoesque movies, because they try to recapture his electric ways with dialogue, but it falls flat.So it's confusing, plodding, overlong, with poor dialogue, so why have I rated it so highly?Simple, Kevin Costner. This has to be one of his most underrated performances, and he should play more bad guys, because here he couldn't care less about anything, he's just having such fun as psychotic Murphy, and whenever he's on screen (thankfully almost all the time), the film sparkles.Russell is good, but he's not playing against type, he's just playing his comfort zone role, a little Plisskin, a little Cash, but Costner, absolutely nuts, right up until the final shot.So it's definitely flawed, but if your a fan of Costner, see it.

SnoopyStyle Michael Zane (Kurt Russell) meets Cybil (Courteney Cox) and his thieving kid at a desolate motel. He sleeps with her after 5 1/2 years behind bars. Elvis fanatic Thomas Murphy (Kevin Costner), Hanson (Christian Slater), Gus (David Arquette) and Franklin (Bokeem Woodbine) come to pick him up for a job. They set off to rob the Riviera Casino as Elvis impersonators.The movie tries so hard to be an edgy crime drama. It starts from the beginning with the CG scorpion battle. It looks cheesy and bad. There is some shoot em up action but not done that well. Too much slow motion is used. Everything is done aggressively that none of it is that compelling. Demian Lichtenstein is simply not at the upper echelon of directors that this movie needs. The kid is so annoying. Some of the characters act stupidly. None of them are likable and there is no rooting interest. It's a slick crime drama but the style doesn't work.

jmcginn174 I was up late night and found 3000 Miles to Graceland on, and since there was nothing else on I decided to watch it. Maybe it wouldn't be as bad as when I first watched the film in theater back in 2001, and yes I stupidly paid to see this in the theater. It had been over 10 years since I've seen this movie. Who know my opinion of the film might have changed, but after watching it again it hasn't. It's just a terrible movie. This will be one of my shorter reviews and there I think will be some spoilers, but I don't care since this is just a terrible film.The story revolves around a group of bank robbers (Kurt Russell, Kevin Costner, Christian Slater, David Arquette and Bokeem Woodbine) dress up as Elvis's and rob a Las Vegas Casino. Things go wrong when Woodbine (Franklin) is shot by police and security. The four remaining robbers escape by helicopter with the help of Jack (Howie Long). The four head back to their run down motel outside Vegas to sort their shares, but Murphy (Costner) as other plans as he shots and kills Gus (Arquette), Hanson (Slater) and believes he's also killed Michael (Russell) who was wearing a vest. From there on it's a race to get the money as Cybil Waingrow (Courteney Cox) and her son get mixed up with it along with two US Marshal's (Thomas Haden Church, Kevin Pollak).The bad story was bad enough, but adding in uninteresting and uninteresting characters and you've got a terrible film. Russel's character was supposed to play the good guy as he had a conscience, but that doesn't take away that his character is about as interesting and likable as a rock you have to stare at four hours kind of like this film. Costner playing the bad guy seemed not to want to be in this awful film. He probably was wondering when his career took a downward turn. It was just a few years ago he was starring in films like A PERFECT WORLD, ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES, JFK and THE BODY GUARD. I think his career took a turn with WATERWORLD and THE POSTMAN. Waterworld wasn't good, but it's not as bad as people make it out to be, especially if you watch the extended edition. The Postman in my opinion is a good film, but not great. Still neither were box office hits and his career started to go downward until he relegated to star in crappy heist films like this one. The most interesting and fun characters are the the supporting characters. Howie Long the ex-NFL player turned analysis and actor was having a fun time with this film as he had no pressure on him. Also Thomas Haden Church and Kevin Pollak seemed to have good chemistry as partners and to be honest I was rooting for them to kill all the bank robbers including Russel's character.You'd expect the action to be good in a heist film. Now I wasn't expecting great action like HEAT that was just a special film, but I was expecting to be entertained. I wasn't and outside of the beginning action scene in the casino which was decent it was all bad. Even the climax in a warehouse was a let down. There's lots of blame to go around for the lack of good action, you could blame the studio Warner Brothers for this, but I don't. I think the WB gave up on this film after they saw it, and if I remember it right there wasn't a lot of promotion for this film. You could just tell WB had no confidence in this film. No I blame the director Demian Lichtenstein who also co-wrote this piece of crap. Apparently Demian was a big music video director, but had only directed one feature film before this one called Lowball, and I had to look it up to find out that it was a direct to VHS film. Maybe I should blame WB for hiring this guy to write and direct a feature film, because he's terrible.Overall 3000 Miles to Graceland is a terrible film and as bad a I remember it. If you haven't seen this film avoid it at all costs. It will drain away months of your life.
