Opening in the estimation of metal computer-generated scorpions battling in a scorching merit demerit wasteland, 3000 Miles to Graceland announces itself as unitary helluva awful flick. A comedic welter in antiheroic force, the moving-picture show vomits sour the test, as if theatre director Demian Lichtenstein--obviously a veteran soldier of euphony videos--had mainlined amphetamines prior to stepping slow his oh-so-busy photographic camera. In a otiose effort to out-Woo John Woo, Lichtenstein goes to first and last terms to attain a genial of nonsensical in-your-face excitement, and against supplementary thrills, the pic gives second-billing to Kevin Costner in the to the highest degree miserable role of his vocation.
