If you
were hoping to see a casino heist picture like Ocean's Eleven with cool
guys and smart suits, don't see this. This movie's opening frames feature
fighting animated scorpions and it's obvious that we're in for some punk
director's idea of a snazzy action film.
No, there is no sense of
clever in Graceland's casino heist. The movie is basicly guns guns guns, as
Russell, Kevin Costner, and a band of thugs rob the Riviera casino in the midst
of an Elvis impersonators' convention.
Thirty minutes into the film,
the heist is done, robbers Costner and Russell are off in different directions
to fight over the cash, and Courteney Cox stands between them as a poor man's
femme fatale. Who'll end up with the money? Who cares? We've got 90 long
minutes to go, and we're talking downhill.
For two long hours, the film
presents us with an unbearable litany of unbelievable coincidences and awful
continuity errors that would have Elvis himself spinning in his grave. (Case in
point: It's only 1,600 miles by road from Las Vegas to Memphis, not 3,000.)
