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, and single mom Cybil Waingrow and her son Jesse constantly confounding things, Michael must track down Murphy.
Review
Directed with a slightly overused yet still very affective "artsy" style by
relative Hollywood virgin Demian Lichtenstein, GRACELAND starts with a
bang.
Judging from the television spots and theatrical trailers one would assume
the film revolves around the slowly bubbling brewing plan to knock off a
Vegas casino dressed as Elvises on International Elvis Night. But that is
where you would be wrong. The ten minutes of nonstop action that are a
result of the casino robbery (and in a weird dimension almost mirror the
bank robbery scene in HEAT)happen in the first ten minutes of the movie;
the
other 120 minutes, revolve around the aftermath and repercussions of the
bloodbath.
Costner, who I swear to God will never do wrong in my eyes, does well for
himself departing from the usual character and plays a bad guy. The great
thing about this film is that all the characters are bad guys, we just have
to decide how bad they are and how much we want to let ourselves care about
them. Costner, is the baddest of them all, and eventually it becomes clear
that the bad guy we are supposed to care about is the one played by the
best
"Average Guy" actor of all time---- Kurt Russell (remember
BREAKDOWN?)
In any case we have the romance, Courtney Cox
and Russell. We have the bloody, cold hearted illegitimate
(possibly) son of Elvis, Costner. We have the two cops chasing them, Kevin
Pollack and Thomas Haden Church who compliment each other with wonderful
chemistry. And we have the slew of supporting actors that plug up any
possible holes the film might (but doesn't) have; Howie Long, David
Arquette, Bokeem Woodbine (a Black Elvis), Ice-T, Christian Slater. Blah
Blah Blah.
This film on the whole becomes the first film in quite some time that I
know
I will see multiple times in the theater, and one that I am sure I will
eventually know all the words to. Making it the fourth of the Costner
Movies
I can recite word for word (Robin Hood, Tin Cup, Postman)
The relatively young director also made a unique decision in the editing of
the film, allowing both of its stars, (Costner and Russell) cut their own
version of the film. Costner's version concentrated more on the action, the
blood, the guts, the death, the explosion, the "F" word with a strange
annunciation of the "G". And Russell's focused on the budding, and slowly
blossoming love between Cox and himself. Costner's cut won, but I can't see
anywhere that film lacks because of it. overall this is one of the most
fully fleshed, well rounded films I have seen in quite a
while.
I loved it.
