- Description: A ridiculous, violent Elvis-heist movie with Kurt Russell and Kevin Costner that absolutely should not work as well as it does.

*3000 Miles to Graceland* is not a subtle movie. Not even close.

Kurt Russell and Kevin Costner play members of a crew who dress as Elvis impersonators, walk into a Las Vegas casino during an Elvis convention, and rob the place.

That should tell you pretty quickly what kind of movie you’re dealing with.

And the robbery is really just the beginning. From there, it turns into a violent road-trip crime movie full of double-crosses, stolen money, bad decisions, and a cast that is much better than you’d expect for something this ridiculous.

Costner is especially fun because he’s playing so far against type. Forget John Dutton—this is something closer to Tony Soprano Kevin Costner. Kurt Russell is Kurt Russell, which is usually a good thing, and Courteney Cox gets dragged into the mess along the way.

Is it over the top? Absolutely.

Does every part of it work? No.

But it has personality, moves fast, and never feels like just another generic crime movie.

Sometimes ridiculous works.

*3000 Miles to Graceland* is proof.

💡

Messy, excessive, and much more entertaining than you would expect.
