Premium Rush (2012) 8/10

Starring : Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Shannon, Dania Ramirez, Wole Parks, Aasif Mandvi, Jamie Chung
Director : David Koepp
Running Time : 91 mins

Reckless bike messenger Wilee (Gordon-Levitt) is given an envelope to deliver, but when he attracts the attention of crooked cop Bobby Monday (Shannon) he finds himself in a race to deliver the envelope before the copper gets it. It doesn’t take long for Wilee to find out what the envelope actually represents, which makes his delivery of the envelope all the more urgent.

Even though this feels like it was written for children, this is still a fun thriller with plenty of action. The flashbacks to explain stuff was a little annoying, but it didn’t hinder the storytelling and as usual Joseph Gordon-Levitt makes a fine lead. Fans of his work will enjoy this easy watch, and even those who aren’t fans will most likely enjoy the simple tale of good triumphing over evil.
