3000 Miles to Graceland

While the rest of Australia utilised cheapo-Tuesday to see Baz Luhrmann's latest flick Moulin Rouge, I ventured into a near empty cinema to experience a cinematic masterpiece - Kevin Costner playing the bad guy in the bloodbath movie 3000 Miles to Graceland. With an absolute stellar cast including Kurt Russell, Courtney Cox-Arquette, and brief appearences by hubby David Arquette and good 'ol Christian Slater, this movie was definitely a little different to what mainstream Hollywood usually dishes out. Kevin Costner plays the alleged illegitimate son of Elvis Presly, and together with a band of fellow impersonators, pulls off an impressive heist of a Vegas casino netting themselves a cool million or three. What follows is a trail of love, betrayal and carnage around America. Amusing, entertaining, and with a body count that I haven't seen since the early days of Stalone and Arnie. This movie could quite possibly reach cult status.


Rating: 8 out of 10.
