tired of those cookie cutter big stupid action movies? the kind Schwarzenegger built his career upon? well sink your teeth into this Elvis obsessed crime thriller, one of the best premises for a film of this genre i mean A Bank Robbing Gang of Elvis Impersonator!, that's reason enough to check this out, Kurt Russel is one of the most criminally underrated Action stars because A. He dosen't take himself too seriously B. He always injects some humor into his characters, but the tr00 bad ass of this film is Kevin Costner i mean i know the film was filmed to make you hate this guy but i couldn't help but cheer him on, the scene where hes driving down the road smoking a cigar and you see a beautiful redhead raise up from his crotch area and kiss him i was like Word!!!!!! but more to the point this film is over the top, violent as hell, and at times hilarious (both intentionally and unintentionally) one of the only things i didn't care for was the sub plot with Courtney Cox and her son, I really hate when these style movies try and inject a sub plot like this just for the sake of accessibility, but maybe thats just me, anyways there is definitely flaws but there is more positives than negatives, lol on a nostalgic note i remember when this first came out and my mom watched it before me and said she hated it, when that happens its a dead give away i'm probably going to love the hell outta it lol.
