3000 Miles to Graceland

             A fun action movie and crazy twisting plot, this is a great flick for action lovers. Kurt Russell plays a criminal, convict and bad person who runs afoul of Cybil (Courtney Cox) and her son Jesse on the way to rob a casino. His partners include Thomas J Murphy (Kevin Costner), a psychotic douchebag, and general killer, who happens to think he is the son of Elvis. As well as three other no goods (Christian Slater and David Arquette join the team) and their Helicopter pilot, Jack (Howie Long).
            After they do the job, during the International Elvis festival, they escape and then things get complicated, as Murphy betrays everyone and kills them, aside from Russell who escapes and goes back for the money. Meanwhile Jesse has discovered the plot and Cybil begins to crave the much neeed money.
            Things get even more complicated as they all make their way toward a money launderer in Idaho, a short stop for Russell who is headed for his boat in Seattle. A twisting turning plot, this proves to be a visual tornado of crazy ideas woven together by the director and the beginning sequence of the Elvis festival is fantastic.
            Overall I’d give it a 2, because it is definitely worth seeing at least once, and there are a lot of good sequences that are entertaining.
