Unfortunately, writer/director Demian Lichstenstein, previously best known for his music videos, has no idea how to handle or pull off this project. There's too much dead time between the spectacularly, ridiculously violent heist and the climax. Despite a seemingly prestige cast, none of the characters really engage us, though Costner impresses a little as a psycho convinced he's Elvis' son. 3000 Miles to Graceland feels like an effort on the part of some of the ageing or has-been actors belatedly to grab some of the John Woo/Tarantino action. However, Woo has a balletic sense of on-screen violence, while Tarantino's characters always had something quirkily compelling about them. Neither quality is really present in this movie, hence its failure at the box office.
On the DVD: 3000 Miles to Graceland is presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic format. Both the sound and visuals are immaculate, especially in the predictable explosion scenes. Extras include a trailer only and, frankly, that feels like more information than we need. --David Stubbs

Arrived on time and in good condition. My husband and I watched this film a while ago and I've bought it for him for his birthday - we loved, loved, loved it.

This is a silly film with all involved hamming it up. If you like Elvis there is some good fun with the lookalikes. The heist scene is great with lot's of action; my only criticism is the film twists and turns and is maybe a little overplaying the double cross joke. Great fun, Thankyou very much. I have left the building!
