Yep, that's Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell in those rhinestones and muttonchop sideburns. Seems the easiest way for casino robbers to blend in in Las Vegas is by impersonating Elvis Presley. That's the loopy premise of 3,000 Miles to Graceland, a violent, sexy and profane caper from first-time director Demian Lichtenstein, a music video veteran. Costner and Russell are joined for the heist by Christian Slater, Jon Lovitz and NFL analyst Howie Long. Warner Bros. screened 3,000 Miles to Graceland too late for Weekend review. Check Friday's Floridian section for Times correspondent Phillip Booth's take on the flick.
