3000 Miles to Graceland (2001, DVD)

The deal was good and I received what I paid for. Happy with the content. Good viewing and entertainment to my taste. The items were Region 1 (American) but being in Australia I have a multi-region DVD player so I saved heaps over what I'd pay in this country. I've bought a 1,000 dvd's off eBay and I've never missed out on a delivery.

I could only watch about 10 minutes of this wretched movie. I should have known that a balding Kevin Costner and that poser Kurt Russell as Elvis impersonators would be extremely lame. What a waste of money! The language is vile, the "action" tedious, and the opening irrelevant. These Hollywood prima donnas think anything they say or do is entertaining. WRONG!!!

I bought the dvd because I had gone to see the movie in the theatre some years ago and really liked it. There was plenty of action, a good story line and the annoying characters were killed off quickly. I had not seen this dvd in retail stores and was happy to find it on ebay at a good price.

liked the actors,and alot of action,good camera location to,exciting place vegas,wonderful back serenery

I really was not sure what to expect about the movie, it had good actors in the program and I thought they did a good job of portraiting the way things were with Elvis in his early years. I really thought he was a religious person but found out otherwise. Some of his friends could really menipuloate him and he just followed suite. I thought he was more of a religious person or shall I say that is what I thought. Disapointing but probably accourite.

While some may not have seen the "earlier version" of "3000 Miles To Graceland," the premise for the script IS loosely based on blacklisted Hollywood director Jules Dassin's 1955 crime heist movie "du Rififi Chez les Hommes"--or "Rififi" (think rif raf). In 3000 Miles To Graceland, Kurt Russell and Kevin Costner turn in star performances as former cellmates recently released from a federal penitentiary. When they first meet up on the outside, the look that Costner gives Russell as he slowly runs his gaze up and down Russell's body is almost sickening as you imagine the uncertain meeting of former cellmates might be. Costner has planned an elaborate heist at a Vegas casino during an Elvis convention in 2001, but things soon go awry. Kurt Russell co-stars, along with Courtney Cox, Thomas Haden Church, David Arquette, Howie Long and Jon Lovitz. Paul Anka even turns in a wickedly evil cameo performance as the chief of security at the Las Vegas casino where the film is staged. The group of thieves dress up as Elvis impersonators to pull off a big money robbery, and they plan to do it right in front of everybody. The succeed, after a fashion, but not without a hail of gunfire which caused most critics to give the movie resoundingly bad reviews. The shoot-em-up scenes are further enhanced with a grinding guitar-laced soundtrack--that enhances the gunfire to an almost-too fevered pitch. The movie is about a bunch of ex-cons, and the so-called honor amongst thieves. If you can just keep the volume control close at hand, the shooting scenes are few and the intricate details of the camera work and the directing and ensemble acting are enough to create an enjoyable experience for the discerning viewer. At the end of the movie, as Costner is staring into a dirty restroom's grime-stained mirror, Elvis sideburns and a snarl on his lips, he says in a deep voice "how do you like me now?"--and you know that it's Elvis to whom he is speaking. Oh yeah, one of the guys gets the girl, but that may not be enough of a hook to bring your girlfriend or wife to this one!

The seller was fast, courteous and gave a good description of his product. Brand new factory sealed just like he said.

This is a great movie and well worth adding to your movies. It is full of action although I could have done without all the language and sex. It still has so twists and turns and leaves you wondering.

Wow what action,,an awsome movie..Russel and Costner...kicked Butt...I have watched it about a dozen times...

i love the casino scenr where they shoot up the place lots of aaction and lets not forget the cortney cox scene either .....lol

I bought this DVD for my boyfriend for Christmas. It's his favorite movie. I watched it for the first time the other night. It is hysterical! I usually can't stand Kevin Costner's acting, but in this, he's really pretty good.

This movie is one that you can stand to watch more then once. It has great actors and a good plot. I heard alot of people talk about this movie and am now one of those people.
