OK,this is a guilty pleasure film of mine.The story is silly and it has no morality but its a lot of fun to go along for the ride.The title of the film is also a joke as well.It's not Graceland,Elvis's home in Memphis,but Seattle Washington,home port of a boat named Graceland.
Now the film was released in 2001 and runs long at 125 minutes.I took off 1 and 1/2 stars for the films excessive length and the silliness of the plot.I loved Kurt Russell as Michael Zane,Kevin Costner as Murphy and Courteney Cox as Cybil Waingrow .Throw in a small early role by Paul Anka as Pit Boss #1,and we're off for a crazy crime film ride.There's a bunch of familiar other actors in smaller roles and everyone has a good time it seems.Why not?Elvis impersonators and casinos and Vegas.It's a rush but very heavy on the violence.Comically so but not for kids at all !!! Kinda wink,wink,dirty sexy as well.
But hey,that was Elvis as well.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary below.ENJOY.
t was an ingenious enough plan: rob the Riviera Casino's count room during an Elvis impersonator convention. But Thomas Murphy decided to keep all the money for himself and shot all his partners, including recently-freed ex-con Michael Zane. With $3.2 million at stake, the Marshals Service closing in, and single mom Cybil Waingrow and her son Jesse constantly confounding things, Michael must track down Murphy.
