Average Rating:3.5/10

Consensus: While the premise sounds promising, the movie turns out to be a tedious and unnecessarily violent heist movie that's low on laughs and leaves no cliche unturned.

Runtime: 2 hrs 5 mins

Genre: Action/Adventure

US Box Office: $15,346,114

Synopsis: A skilled band of criminals gang together with a goal to get rich at the 2001 International Elvis Convention in Las Vegas.

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]

For those fed up with Costner's frequent cornpone heroism (as worst exemplified in The Postman), this movie will prove a welcome antidote.

An entertainingly heartless movie, made with style, energy and a modicum of humor.

3000 Miles to Graceland revs up into oddly entertaining ride.

From the animated scorpion fight well before the credits end to final climactic firefight, this surprisingly riveting confection cannot help to bring a smile to one's face.

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

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.

While it does contain many action film clichés, it also has some quirky characters who give it some charm.

Gleefully preposterous and at times blissfully inane.

Convoluted double crosses make this one more bloated than fat Elvis.

May look fun in the trailers, but it adds up to nothing more than a mound of rotting roadkill.
