Premium Rush

[Bryony]

Just wondering if anyone has seen the film Premium Rush?

Its about a daredevil NYC bike courier, he gets into trouble when a corrupt cop tries to steal a priceless package he's delivering. Its full of action and quite exciting!! Just wondering if the people that have seen it enjoyed it as much as me??

I thought it was brainless drivel, but quite good fun if you switched your brain off first.
The bad guy was quite good in it. Channelling a bit of Harvey Keitel in Bad Lieutenant.

Worth a watch bit un realistic but then it is a film. Worst part about it is not the acting or the cheesey story lines its the bloomin fixies lol

Agree with Ben. It was drivel. So much so that I had to turn it off to watch something less brainless instead. Like Homes Under the Hammer.

I watched it, I wasn't overly impressed but it killed a couple of hours.

I thoug that the rest of the film was an unneccessary distraciton from Danny MacKaskills performance.

Try Diva. About a daredevil Paris moped courier who bootlegs an opera singer and finds himself in the middle of a tangled plot and some truly stunning cinematography.

It was OK seen worse. Switch off brain stuff really.

[QUOTE 2695785, member: 1314"]I saw the flick when flying to the States back in July.

Pros:
The cycling action
The sheer diversity of the cycling community in NY in terms of age, race, gender. Made London look like Basingstoke High Street during St George’s Day Parade.
Fancying both the male and female messenger protagonists

Cons:
The cheesiness of wearing helmets whilst lauding having no brakes.
The stereotyping of the NY Chinese community
The s***e plot[/quote]
I totally agree with your pros and cons, I think I enjoyed the film because of the cycling action especially the cop on the bike coming to a couple of sticky ends!and the bit of eye candy (Danny MacAskill) You are right about the plot and the stereotyping which seems to happen a lot!

I really enjoyed the film. It passed a good couple of hours on a flight from London to Managua earlier this year. I've watched it once again since and whilst you'll never have the deepest of story lines with this type of movie, it definitely made me want to go for a ride.

Sometimes I like story lines that aren't too deep especially after a stress out day!! I expect if I watched it any other time I'd find it boring!!

I was glad I had other things I could do while I was watching it.
