It's International Elvis Week in Las Vegas, where the strip is flooded by a sea of King wannabes decked out in jumpsuits and sideburns. But five of the impersonators swaggering into the Riviera Hotel are toting heavy weaponry in their guitar cases. It's the heist of a lifetime, orchestrated by ex-con Michael (Kurt Russell) and his cunning former cellmate, Murphy (Kevin Costner). The crooked Elvises steal away with $3.2 million, leaving the hotel in ruins and a high body count in their wake.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

While the premise sounds promising, the movie turns out to be a tedious and unnecessarily violent heist movie that's low on laughs and leaves no cliche unturned.

Nell Minow Common Sense Media Extremely violent Elvis-based robbery for 17+ only. Rated: 3/5 Aug 26, 2010 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 1/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review USA Today Rated: 2/4 Jan 30, 2003 Full Review Joe Leydon The Moving Picture Show With his mean-stud swagger, brushed-back coiffure, scimitar-shaped sideburns and a wardrobe that reeks of white trash sartorial splendor, Costner certainly looks the part of a sneaky-snakey ex-convict with grand plans and a short fuse. Feb 21, 2022 Full Review Mark Halverson Sacramento News & Review Rated: 1/5 Aug 7, 2008 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com The Tarantino effect is very much in evidence in this trashy, senseless, and excessively violent actioner about a casino heist that goes uproariously awry. Rated: 1/4 Feb 2, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Declan D If you're considering this film...I say you should watch it....it's definitely not as bad as the reviews here. It's a bit of fun and not to be taken too seriously...seems like they have taken some inspiration from Quinton tarentino. And god damn Courtney Cox is hot in this. Just some fun action id give it 60-70% Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/17/25 Full Review Jeanne J I don’t think most people gave this movie a fair shot. It tied up alright, people got killed on the way, and the level of humour matched the style, which was stolen from Tarantino, it’s worst crime. The kid was great, still acting. Kostner as a psycho was acting out of his comfort zone but was given a little back story, and he did it well. I did laugh out loud when he changed into a wombat. Russell was very good and as the ‘redemption’ character. I loved the Elvis impersonation scenes. Cox was the very sexy mum and she lit up the movie. It’s worth more than 15% Rotten Tomatoes 🍅 Oh, and watch credits to the end, a few funny out takes. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Ed L Absolute garbage I should of walked out in fact the only movie I ever saw in theaters that I should of walked out on back in 2001 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review Gene S I thoroughly love this movie from beginning to end, it’s great fun. I watched it before I saw the reviews and they were way off. Because of the bad reviews, I think a bandwagon effect happened and people just jumped on hating on it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Dallas H I am aware that the movie isn't for everyone, but I got a kick of enjoyment out of it. It feels like an absurd heist film with a layer of oddness wrapped around it, but that's okay by me. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review Audience Member Underrated and under appreciated Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/31/24 Full Review Read all reviews
