I also wanted to see more of Kurt Russell's stellar Elvis impersonation which he has done so well in the past. There really is no planning involved in this and it just gets straight to it with the robbery being rather disappointing and unrealistic but also somewhat fun due to to how crazy and violent it is. This was very disappointing because based on the premise I was prepared to watch an Ocean's Eleven type of movie where the majority of it is the gang staging the heist and then executing the plan in the last act. And whilst it kind of is that, it's more of a crime movie and the heist takes place in the first thirty minutes with the rest of the runtime dealing with its fallout. I thought this was going to be a comedy where guys stage a heist dressed up as Elvis impersonators. First of all, it's not at all what I expected. Entertaining? Yes- but only if you don't take it too seriously.

Now, we get these two guys in a mindless, black comedy, full of S&V- the most since the cult film Thursday- with quirky twists and turns. Russell, whose track record in shoot 'em-ups is no less than Stallone or Arnie, is likewise coming off some hound dog roles, such as being an automated soldier, a remake of his Escape from New York (LA? Why'd anyone want to go there in the first place?) and the sci-fi Stargate. Costner is always on the leafy edge, whether he's dancing with wolves, building baseball fields for ghosts or water-skiing as bait for sea monsters. So, I submit that what we have here is the COSTNER and RUSSELL Revenge vehicle.

From my view, both vehicles were ghastly but entertaining. Well, let's go back a year or so when Russell and Costner both made Wyatt Earp films, playing the title roles. Now, they're complaining because Russell and Costner- especially the latter- are too violent. But, in any film, we have to consider the level at which we're willing to 'buy in.' I mean, some people were outraged at the farting scenes in Shrek. This is one of the funniest, outrageous films I've seen in a long time. How much more lead in do you want? You expect, action, thrills and. A film is advertised as Elvises robbing a Las Vegas casino during an Elvis convention.

Scrolling through the 135+ comments, I'm amazed at how outraged so many viewers are at the 'excessive violence,' 'explicit sex,' 'foul language,' etc., etc., etc.
