Description

Dodging speeding cars, crazed cabbies and eight million cranky pedestrians all in a day's work for Wilee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), the best of New York's agile and aggressive bicycle messengers. It takes a special breed to ride the fixie - super lightweight, single-gear bikes with no brakes and riders who are equal part skilled cyclists and nutcases who risk becoming a smear on the pavement every time they head into traffic. But a guy who's used to putting his life on the line is about to get more than even he is used to when his last envelope of the day - a routine "premium rush" run -turns into a life or death chase through the streets of Manhattan.Also starring Michael Shannon, Dania Ramirez and Jamie Chung.

    This film is probably more interesting and complicated than you are expecting, assuming you are expecting it to be an hour and a half of a man riding a bicycle gently through the English countryside, with no stunts and no chases and no excitement and dialogue and no story and no score and no script and no other characters and no ideas and no pictures and no sounds. If you are expecting any of the above it probably won't be as interesting or complicated as you are expecting.

  • Not bad!

    Was a bit optimistic about purchasing film. Turned out to be a reasonable story bit guessable at point though. Easy, relax film would watch again.

  • LOVED it!

    I trust JGL's films cos so far he has played all kinds of characters magnificently although looking at PREMIUM LUSH's poster I hesitated a little cos it looks quite cliche but hesitate not. This is a real thriller, gets your heart pumping, a different kind of thriller finally thank goodness for making us aware that car chasing isn't the only thrilling chasing types of films there are and it has a story to tell. I much appreciates the diversity of the film too. If only there are more films willing to be open minded as this.

  • Worth watching

    Although not the most taxing of films to test the brain cells, this is still an enjoyable watch and different in its own right, worth a rental at least!

  • Please refund the last 2 hours of my life

    I wanted to see this for a while but after reading the reviews was unsure. Some mention how boring it was, others just decide on insulting those who enjoyed it… Either way, I decided to watch and see for myself. I found this movie really entertaining, the action and adventure kept me interested (it had a reason for the urgency rather than just some lame 'kill everyone in the way' storyline) and I also appreciated the humour! Definitely worth a rental at least!

    If you like the above mentioned film franchise and a fast paced action flick where it's more about thrills and spills then awarding winning scripts then I recommend this to you, not the greatest but but no means deserves the slating of other reviews here. The characters are not that well written and don't have much depth but its not important, this is about extreme bike riding on one of the busiest streets in the world, this film is exciting and well paced, you'll guess the script early on but I suggest you sit back and just enjoy the ride :)

  • Loved it!

    I really enjoyed this. The cycling scenes are exhilarating, the plot cracks along and the characters are well-rounded. Overall a really great film!
