Reader comments: 3000 Miles to Graceland
JUAN M GONZALEZ | Jan. 24, 2002
Couldn't do it. I just couldn't do it. I watched exactly 28
minutes of this on DVD and could go no further. I have seen
Costner cardboard acting before but when he can't even
deliver profanity convincingly we are in trouble folks.
Early on he as a segment in which he must use the dreaded
"f" word about six time in 90 seconds (a la
Tarentino and a short subsitute for real dialogue) and
believe it or not it was absolutely laughable. It sounded
like he was reading it off of a cue card, I kid you not!!!.
Then the ethnic element of the gang gets shot as they
escape
by helicopter from the casino (how racially convenient and
stereotypical) and after what looks either a good bye kiss
or mouth to mouth by Costner (he comes up looking like a
three year old who has just devoured a strawberry jam
sandwhich without a napkin) I said to myself, "they are
going to throw the body out of the helicopter" (brillant
criminal move in an escape attempt). No sooner thought than
done and I almost hurt myself reaching for the stop button
on the remote in order to stop the pain. That's enough of
inanity. How do they get budgets for monstrosities such as
this?

I was expecting much more from Kevin Costner and Kurt
Russel . The worse part was the annoying music.I hated it .

Let's see... Kevin Costner attempting to look like the
king. Kevin Costner attempting to sound like the king.
That should be your first clue, that this movie may just
need help.
However, If you like the violence and feel that guns and
blood and gore make for a great movie then this movie might
just interest you. I wouldn't take a date to it, because
she definitely won't be feeling romantic afterword.
Kurt Russell, Kevin Costner, and good old sexy legs
Arquette make up the story of an ex-con who gets out of
prison to do what else?, rob a casino and shoot everyone up
in the process with his ex-cell buddy Kevin Costner who
thinks he is the long lost son of Elvis Presley. Exactly
what a fresh ex-con would do, I suspect.
In the adventure of this very dry movie Kurt Russell and
Arquette find each other and blah blah blah blah blah. In
addition, Costner meets up with a bunch of people and 99%
of them all end up bleeding.... badly.
I would reccommend seeing this in the dollar theater if
you want to see it, you'd waste less money than renting it
on video.
