 DVD Review: 3000 Miles To Graceland
Definitely not a picture with a pleasant production history or attitude, "3000 Miles To Graceland" eventually reached a point that's never a good point for any movie - both of its lead stars actually sat in the editing room and made their own cuts of the movie, which they both screened for audiences.
VIDEO: "3000 Miles To Graceland" is presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen and, like the other recent Warner Brothers title "Valentine" is an example of how much Warner Brothers has improved over recent months.
SOUND: "3000 Miles To Graceland" is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and, in terms of the film's sound use it's either all-out or little to nothing.

 EI > Reviews > 3000 Miles to Graceland (2001)
Graceland is not so much a heist picture as it is a "post-heist" picture -- much of the action in the story involves the adventures of recently reunited partners-in-crime Murphy (Kevin Costner) and Michael (Kurt Russell) after they make off with over three million dollars from the Riviera casino in Las Vegas.
