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.) |
