"I want to be an FBI agent at large." -Elvis Presley
Elvis & Nixon, while not a good movie, is an amazing premise and idea. The idea is so good it almost carries the whole movie.
Here are some reasons to see it.
Michael Shannon: He does an amazing Elvis. He even out Elvis's his impersonators.
Kevin Spacey: The man was born to play Nixon. It was fun to watch.
Sheer Insanity: Only the Elvis knew what it was to be Elvis, but it must have been singular.
Oh and if you are a fan of pseudo-history or just alternate-history, consider the idea that Elvis was an actual FBI agent at large.
I think this might be Johnny Knoxville's best film.
Here are some reasons not to see it.
It doesn't make a ton of sense.
Nothing is resolved.
There is no clear plot.
Here's something to ponder.
When does celebrity status allow one to just be crazy. Do you just push the envelope of what your stardom will tolerate before it breaks? I think there is a small chance the Elvis was just trolling everyone. Just being weird to see how far he could take it.
On a scale of Jailhouse Rock Elvis to Burning Love Elvis, I give Elvis & Nixon 2.0 out of 5 stars.
