Elvis Presley was one of the biggest stars of his generation. He enjoyed a luxurious lifestyle and had access to the finest things money could buy. However, Elvis most enjoyed being at his Tennessee home, where his favorite creature comforts were always available. These comforts included his favorite foods, but that came at a cost. In the 1970s, Elvis’ weekly grocery bill was more than double that of most monthly mortgages.

Well, nobody expects somebody to be purely objective about the situation; some biases are sure to creep in, but that’s not the problem with The Engineer. It’s the insipidity of the whole film that is bothersome.
