Synopsis
It 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, Michael must track down Murphy.

Entertainment Weekly
This is a high octane ride that starts to leak gas before it even gets going. - 50
USA Today
An odd mix of seediness, sideburns and even scorpions, the movie nearly matches the Lisa Marie-Michael Jackson marriage for weirdness. - 40
Austin Chronicle
The end result is overkill en extremis. There is such a thing as too much. And 3KMTG is much too much. - 40
New York Magazine (Vulture)
On the reasonable assumption that no movie featuring an Elvis impersonator can be wholly bad, I was prepared for a high old time at 3000 Miles to Graceland, which exhibits a plenitude of Elvi. The exhibition does not last very long, however. Less than a third of the way through, the filmmakers jettison the premise and trash their own movie. - 38
Chicago Sun-Times
Here's a movie without an ounce of human kindness, a sour and mean-spirited enterprise so desperate to please, it tries to be a yukky comedy and a hard-boiled action picture at the same time. - 25
Charlotte Observer
Like the Big E himself. It starts out fast, dangerous, sexy, confident, funny with an edge. It ends up confused, bloated, unable to leave the stage when it should. - 10
Wall Street Journal
Nothing but miscalculation from clumsy start to chaotic finish, an action thriller with a cynical, shriveled soul. - 10
Time
Courteney Cox is good as a sexy, hard-pressed single mom, but she alone can't redeem the prevailing stupidity.
