WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
Leofwine_draca PREMIUM RUSH is a very silly Hollywood action thriller with a difference: all of the action involves a bicycle courier in New York finding himself chased by a corrupt cop. The film is very odd in tone, feeling like a kid's film throughout with goofy humour and stylistics, and yet featuring a torrent of bad language that automatically raises the rating.The nice-but-bland Joseph Gordon-Levitt takes the lead role, an innocent who just so happens to be a whiz on wheels. The surprisingly dire Michael Shannon is the villain of the piece; I love this guy in most of his stuff, such as BOARDWALK EMPIRE, but he's embarrassingly hammy here, trying really hard to be quirky and funny but never succeeding. Dania Ramirez is the token pretty girl along for the ride.The film's action scenes are watchable and fast-paced, but blighted by CGI effects which are embarrassingly bad in places; you'll think you're watching an Asylum movie. The plot has no place in the real world so a massive suspension of disbelief is required. The end result is a missed opportunity, although not without wasted potential.
campolmifilippo This movie cannot be understood and appreciated by everyone, but only by people who loves cycling fast in the city in a time rush. We love to ride our bike as fast as possible even if we are in danger in the city traffic, but for us it is a drug. For us riding is much better than working behind a desk in a office. The story in the movie is nothing special, but I can say all the use of flashforwards and flashbacks are essential to create that atmosphere in the movie
Forever Spn It is like that book that which you pick up, you cant put down, not even for a second, until you finish it. Except in this case, you cant even look right or left or you miss an important happening. This movie doesn't have a single boring scene! The reason most people have given it a low rating must be because of the simple story, but sometimes a simple story is told with such suspense and artistry, that it makes a movie "perfect". The acting, of course, is flawless too. Another reason why I think people must have given it a low rating must be because it may seem a bit unrealistically childish at some points, but then there was no line put at the start of the movie claiming that the story narrated is a true-life story. I think, it is a different movie and is so grasping, while being so simple.
ConsistentlyFalconer I hadn't heard of this film when I saw it at the cinema. A film about bicycle couriers? Well… I like Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I really like Michael Shannon. I often like ordinary-guy-caught- up-in-crime-conspiracy films. So what the hell - popped in… … and I'm very glad that I did! What a cracking little film. Gordon-Levitt is cocky but liable; Dania Ramirez is a female supporting character with guts (hurrah!); Wolé Parks and Aasif Mandvi provide comic support… and Michael Shannon does some wonderfully fun scenery-chewing (reminding me of Ray Liotta)… Sure there are some cheesy moments in the script, and a silly "YEAH, NEW YORK CITY" camaraderie ending, but all in all, I liked it. Verdict: The probably the best film about bicycle couriers you'll see in a while!yetanotherfilmreviewblog.tumblr.com
