Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Good concept, poorly executed.

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

I honestly thought this film would have potential if there wasn't too much of dirty talk, bullcrap, gangs and slow scenes. I thought Bubba was really good looking for a detective-gone-Elvis type. It was a good idea for having a character being different and whatever but, not in a movie that wasn't well done! This movie would've been better off if it was redone again and this time, in a better Elvis style. Seriously, they should have not dissed the King of Rock'n'roll like that with this movie!Robert Patrick looked so much like Elvis, I really thought it was the real Elvis by looking at him. Unfortunately, he is not here with us today since 1977, so it does shed a tear a bit in your eye. I was surprised to have seen Joe Mantegna as the villain Jerry Finkelman, what has he gotten himself into?! He should've said no in taking part in this dopey movie! I suppose hes getting paid big bucks so thats probably why he got involved in the first case!I would not consider this the worst I've seen but, I think it would have needed a total makeover with regarding, the language, the clothing, the style and the storyline! This is why I am giving it a 4 rating because that is the way I see inside this film..

I normally hate Elvis movies being an Elvis fan but this one was wonderful. Elvis wasn't an overweight clown. He dressed the way Elvis would have dressed and acted the way Elvis would have acted if he were still here. I love the Elvis song and whoever sang it sounded authentic. It was a little hokey but you have to suspend reality with a movie like this in the first place. How did makeup make Robert Patrick look so much like Elvis?! Even down to the lips which are nothing like the actors. The script was well written but the actors hammed it up a bit too much. I would prefer that they played their parts straighter and let the script make the jokes, but it still worked. Definitely a movie for Elvis fans. I would also recommend Heartbreak Hotel.

Usually, I don't pick up B-Movies for the evening, but I had nothing else to watch, so I went with this one. I have to say I am pleasantly surprised. While the movie has the look of a low budget film, it certainly doesn't feel like one. The characters are cliché and the acting is exaggerated, but that is all positive, because it perfectly fits the comical style of the movie. Another strong point is that the acting performances were pretty stable throughout the whole film. Especially the main character is charismatic enough to keep you interested. He also does a great job narrating the movie by letting the viewer know what the main character thinks in certain situations.The plot is surprisingly fresh and keeps you guessing right up to the end, who the baddie is. All in all, this was a fun ride and worth watching. If you don't need big names and huge budgets to enjoy a movie, then this might be one you could enjoy. I know I did.On a final note: I have to give kudos to the people behind this movie, because B-Movies here tend to have 10-star ratings by the time they are released, due to the many fake votes by those involved. I hate this trend and I appreciate a movie even more, if people don't resort to cheap tricks like that.

The only reason I don't give this a higher rating, is that while it is a really fun and entertaining film, parts are a bit campy (but due to the style of the film, it doesn't distract from the story or the acting). The last time I saw a really good impersonation of Elvis, was Kurt Russell, in Elvis (1979-TV). I heard that he even sang the music in that one. This isn't really about the music, as much as it is a mystery/thriller, with a who-done-it slant thrown in. The actors did a great job. I thought Patrick did a credible impersonation, and I'm even a bit surprised that he looked like "The King". The comedy is light, but it's because the jokes/one-liners are only to make this fun. It's not meant to make you fall out of your chair laughing. I like how the crew was able to keep you guessing, as to who did what. They make it so you have to even ask yourself whether "Mr. Aaron", to protect his anonymity, may be guilty. All in all, as I said previous, one of the most enjoyable films I've seen. I have to also give kudos to the artist who sang the Elvis songs. While a true fan can tell it's not the real Elvis, the singer still did a wonderful job
