Premium Rush is a lightweight "action" film from Jurassic Park & Spider-Man screenwriter David Koepp.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a New York bike messenger hunted down by a crooked cop, played by the always wonderful Michael Shannon. The film is pretty light on thrills or extravagant action scenes and instead feels like an '80's tween "action" film that isn't necessarily good but will be fondly remembered by a handful of kids when they're grown up 15 years from now. Toy Soldiers or The Shadow anyone?
It's a pretty fluffy movie that could have easily gone straight to video had it not the stars to carry the box office weight of the film but still entertaining for their appealing performances.
