Review by Melissa R. Mendelson
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:
Desert sky rolls across the horizon. The sun sets over the last chance motel, haven to strangers bound by fate, and chaos races in along dark, stormy clouds. Bullets shatter, sand turns red, and coyotes roam against the dark, and two lives are on a collision course, scorpions battling along broken roads. One holds to madness, but the other grasps at redemption.
Oh, what a night. Lives touched by crime could be washed clean in greed, but betrayal silences all wealthy dreams. And madness takes the wheel and flies 3000 miles to Graceland, where legacy was denied, and true love lies deep in a kiss, a kiss so sweet to hide all the lies. And lives torn are covered in green, but still the bullets fly. And justice dances among blazing fires, and redemption is locked, loaded, and fired.
Uncaged and released out into the wild, one man returns to old habits that die hard, and if all goes planned, he could disappear after this night and throw caution into the wind. And the deep blue ocean would be his reward to dream a thousand dreams and to forever fly free, and his old life could be left behind. But nothing ever goes as planned, and death soars through the air. And his life falls hard, but one last chance remains. And if he takes the cards he's dealt would he find his blue ocean with more than his life had planned.
The crew was dressed to kill, reflecting an unforgotten icon, and they were armed with deadly reflexes, ready to spring into action. Their guitar cases concealed loaded weapons, and as the night unfolded did their hearts beat for the wealth that lied ahead. But one man carried the golden rule, and he who had the biggest gun would determine who lived and who died. And if there were dissention in the ranks, then all bets would be off.
Bullets slammed against his chest, and metal bruised his skin. But his life was still his, and he struggled to stand. And with gun in hand does he return to a motel, where fate waited to lock him to another, trapping him in a game of truth or dare, lies or trust, and love or loss, and one man waits to meet him on the road ahead, the tango of scorpions. And in the end, would death be waiting in the wings, or would redemption come and carry him away?
The final scene was set. Snipers were at the ready, waiting for their signal to fire, but another was ready for them. And two men stand toe to toe, both conflicted, but walking separate paths, and bullets fire, striking home. And gunfire erupts, but the villain won't surrender. And the hero is carried off, but the other goes down in a blaze of glory. And the dreams of wealth drift down below deep blue water, but a second chance rides along the waves.
Wild storms whip down desert roads, stirring sands of conflict, and spinning lives into a spiral of bullets, and this heart pounding, adrenaline rush of a storyline carries us 3000 miles into a tale of drama, action, and suspense. Characters driven by chaos and intrigue hold the wheel and spin us round and round through every twist and turn, and the struggle between good and evil becomes a tug-of-war. And two men try to stay one step ahead of the other with the prize in hand. A brilliant heist is derailed, revealing the deeper sides of what lies beneath, and we are swept away into the darkness of madness and the flickering light of salvation. And as this rollercoaster slams to an end do we find ourselves cruising over gentle waves and blue skies in this wild ride of a movie, 3000 Miles to Graceland.
