Premium Rush

This year, ride like hell

In spite of the simple plotline, the makers managed to spin this into an entertaining ride. We follow one of Manhattan's top bicycle delivery men, who accepts a late assignment to take a package across town. He has no idea what it is, but when a cop turns up determined to get it at all costs, the chase is on as he is pursued through the traffic and terrain in a desperate race against time and trouble to deliver the package.

92 minutes.
Mature Accompaniment under 13 (Language, Violence).
Action, Thriller.

Not currently showing on the local cinema circuit.

Why don't we just go to the police?....

ScreenIt C. Fuchs If you absolutely, positively are desirous of making a chase flick it absolutely, positively better be exciting in an edge of your bicycle (or otherwise) seat sort of way. Premium Rush only occasionally meets that criteria.	10
