REVIEW: 3000 MILES TO GRACELAND *** out of ****
It REALLY gets to me when a good movie is so panned that nobody sees it and it flops at the box office. That fate befell this movie, which isn't as bad as they all say. It's pure fun. Think "Terminator" crossed with "Reservoir Dogs". The fun begins right away, with a cool animated visual of a scorpion duel. S P O I L E R S
The story goes like this: A group of guys (Led by Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell) rob a casino dressed as Elvis impersonators. The robbery turns violent and one of the guys dies. (The guy who dies first prooves a well known cliche.) So then one of the other guyes wants half the money and Kevin Costner kills him. He sets his sights on Kurt Russell now. Russell high-tails it out of there with a ahem, "sexy" waitress (Courteny Cox) and her young son. It's not perfect. Nearly everyone who isn't Kevin or Kurt dies. But it is a fun, fun movie and will tide you over 'till the summer.
