The film succeeded in certain areas ( costumes, some good acting in places) but the direction was absolutely terrible. Tom Hanks was good at first but became annoying as the film was all about the colonel and not about Elvia. The portrayal of Elvis was one dimensional lacking character development . It was a long film with a lot of back and forth and in the end lacked momentum and there could have been more of Elvis’s music and more psychological tautness. The last 20 minutes of the film were the best by which time I had checked out. The rap Music didn’t work and neither did the Marvel style cinematography.
