Premium Rush review

Wilee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a New York City bicycle messenger encounters an eager cop named Bobby Monday (Michael Shannon) who needs a package. He refuses the request and the chase ensues for the mysterious package. Without the leads, this would now have been that electrifying. Joseph Gordon-Levitt seemed fit for the physical role while the enigmatic underrated talents of Michael Shannon shows his acting chops especially during his confrontations with the biker. Spectacular choreography on the streets were magnificent, much like Playtime with the usage of certain settings. Soundtrack was very applicable to the mood and the plot was well paced. The directions on Wilee's phone was detailed and was a nice touch. Only thing from keeping this from becoming great was its believability...

THE GOOD: ‘Premium Rush’ is the st...

Review: Premium Rush

In desperate times like this, audiences need something original to enjoy during the summer instead of being pounded over the head again and again with remakes, sequels, prequels, and whatnot. The latest blockbuster is the small, but fast, Premium Rush, a gig that was written and directed by David Koepp, and features great talents such as Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Shannon, and Dania Ramirez. Is Premium Rush a great film? No, but it's at least a good breath of fresh air.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as Wilee, a New York City bike messanger who is the absolute best at what he does. He's aggressive and full of ambition. His job is to get from point A to point B to deliver some sort of message, riding at incredible speed through cars, busses, taxis, and pedestrians. He rides the fixie, w...
