LONELY STREET is a comic murder mystery that features Robert Patrick as a healthy seventy-something Elvis Presley. With excellent prosthetics and some time-well-spent, Patrick is awesomely believable as Elvis, who has faked his death and is contemplating "coming back". Jay Mohr plays the bumbling detective Bubba Mabry, who is hired to snoop on a tabloid reporter by a famous celebrity only known as Mr. Aaron(Patrick). When the reporter is found murdered, who else but Bubba is the perfect suspect. While this goes on, Mr. Aaron is in the studio of Jerry Finkelman(Joe Montegna), who wants the honors of recording the King's comeback hit "When The Rebel Comes Home"(actually sung by Jim Brown, an Elvis tribute artist from Belfast).
The production team takes great pains in presenting Elvis' memory with respect and dignity assuming he faked his death only to "clean up" his body and get in shape to age gracefully. Elvis fans will be in awe and should be very pleased. Patrick is superb as the septuagenarian Presley. You will want to watch this movie again just to reassure yourself. The supporting cast features the fetching Nikki Cox, Mike Starr, Paul Rodriguez and Lindsay Price.
