PLOT: A small group of Elvis impersonators rob a Las Vegas casino and soon after, theft and betrayal among them ensue.
MY THOUGHTS: This film is a very good action flick in terms of guns and gunfire. Its a good double-cross story and it makes you root for both the good guy and the bad guy. It also tells a very unique story using Elvis impersonators as the focus.
PROS/CONS: Kevin Costner plays a very good bad guy in this film. Whenever he is in a scene, you can't take your eyes off him because he is so unpredictable and twisted. This film is one of those movies where you ask yourself "why did they do that?" in some cases. During the opening credits, they have very poorly computer generated scorpions fighting each other (which could easily be passable due to the story), however, they have red eyes and giant spike-toothed smiles that don't seem to fit with what is going on. Some of the music choices for this film too were kind of odd seeing that it revolves around Las Vegas and Elvis impersonators. The movie also has various parts where it lags and slows the film down. With all that said though, it doesn't really hinder the movie in any way, just force you to ask yourself "why?" and make you do a double take.
RATING: 7/10
