You know you are in trouble when a movie more than Elvis impersonators it brain cells. You know you are in trouble when you look at their watches before the opening credits have finished. And you really know that you are in trouble when the best indicators turned into nothing other than Howie Long, noted that the NFL before the game show anchor and Radio Shack guy resin-man. (I am not looking for any Terry Bradshaw and Teri Hatcher, but did not see either of them.) Some movies are bad; 3000 Miles To Graceland is painful. He should be banned from theaters, on the grounds that anyone seeing it unwittingly exposed to cruel and unusual punishment.

In the end credits for 3000 miles to Graceland rolled, I stalked from the theater, all sorts of unprintable things muttering under my breath. Someone might not know about my disposal at the moment, politely asked what I thought about the movie. My rather terse reply was: “I hated that movie. Prezirayut that I film. Loathed me that the movie.” (At that time, in my exasperation, I ran from synonyms.) If I had not been ill obsessive / compulsive disorders look at the entire movie before consideration by the (barns, I returned to see Battlefield Earth after a power failure cut short my first opportunity), I would go for that. Then I could spent the rest of the evening to do something more pleasant - like cleaning toilets or grouting in the shower.

So, is that Kevin Costner has become a career. Once one of the best talents in Hollywood, he has been reduced to dressing like Elvis, and doing their best to exude an aura of menace. This type of Costner tries to emulate Dennis Hopper trying to imitate Elvis. I do not know who said Dances With Wolves, he could play a villain. This is something he had never tried before, and hopefully will not try again. Instead of ranting and raving (which may have injected some energy into this lethargic production), he internalizes everything (it is a good way to say it shows no sign of personality). Instead of snarling, he mumbles. Costner career has been in high transmission in the recent past, but this is easily the most film he never made. Next to these Revenge is a masterpiece of subtlety and tension, Malibu Hot Summer (also known as Sizzle Beach, USA) is a dramatic portrait of restraint, and “Postman great epic. Perhaps the reason Costner was dressed as Elvis because he looked forward to something no one would recognize it. Indeed, that would explain why almost everyone in this movie, was dressed as Elvis.

Some time during post-production, it was rumored that the producers asked how Costner and co-star Kurt Russell collect its own decline movie. According to the story, Costner in a more practical option was selected during the Russell character-based one. Of course, this leads to an obvious question: if we got, the better cut, what made another look? Indeed, in the movie should not have been cut, it was to be burned.

3000 Miles To Graceland begins as unimaginative caper movie, and then turns into an inert road picture. (Note: The road picture is not my favorite genre. brilliantly If the characters are defined and consistently engage in, it becomes an exercise in tedium repeated. This film is an extreme example of how terrible the situation could get.) basic premise a bunch of Elvis impersonators, led by the rigid-guy Murph (Costner), and much nicer Mike (Kurt Russell), a Vegas casino robbery. There are other Elvises with them (including one played by Christian Slater, David Arquette and the other), but they do not last long so they worth more than a cursory mention. In addition, there is a Hard-guy sidekick named Jack (Long), which is not as Elvis thing. He sticks around a little longer. Eventually, Mike Murph double crosses, and pursue long stems, as two police officers and race with each other to the Canadian border. Along for the ride is Cybil (Courteney Cox, looking like she was about 50 years old), a woman who fell to Mike looks good and modest charm.

3000 Miles To Graceland is not dramatically solid. It is not interesting or well-developed characters. This is not surprising, romantic, funny or thrilling. This, in fact, deadly dull and seemingly endless. Director Demian Liechtenstein, is not blessed with an impeccable record. This is his second feature (his first, according to the Internet Movie database, it was something called Lowball, which I do not think that those who saw), and his work here gives his music video roots. He uses all kinds of camera tricks in a vain attempt to hide the fact that the script (which he co-wrote) is garbage. There is a lot of exposure time frames, quick changes, and even fight between two computer-generated scorpions. This is the kind of work Ed Wood would be proud.

3000 Miles To Graceland contains a lot of profanity and violence, and neither does anything to improve the tone of the dying. In the film, two “showpiece” great shooting scenes, none of which creates yet another trickle of uncertainty and tension. They are a lot of nameless, faceless thugs standing and countless rounds of shooting at each other. Sometimes one gets hit. He jerks around a bit, and then drops like puppets with strings snipped. The bigger-name account, the more likely that person is the character alive. After a while, a rat-tooth “- firing tooth becomes so monotonous that it has a soporific effect. Those who remain in the theater during the film (and still awake for the duration - sleeping is cheating), deserve a medal .

I briefly flirted with the idea of peppering my review with lyrics of the songs of Elvis until I realized that the king did not sing the kind words I should use. At worst, I could speak with was: “You do not nothin ‘but hound dog’, and this is hardly need to describe this picture. Maybe I should have looked at philosophies Eminem. Like many other ways I can warn people stay away from this film? Perhaps another: you know you are in trouble when the review compares the movie works on both Ed Wood and Battlefield Earth.
