“Premium Rush” is a prime example of a movie you want to ride your bike away from, pardon the pun. It’s jam packed with characters you don’t care about, weird writing, and mediocre acting.
The movie is definitely thrilling, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. That was likely because I wanted to witness a nasty crash, not because of its chilling musical score and deep writing.
Essentially, you could go to a demolition derby and feel the same range of emotions that you would feel if you watched “Premium Rush.”
I’d have to give this movie a thumb’s down. It’s like the “Fast and the Furious;” you wouldn’t necessarily see the movie because of its great story and directing, but you WOULD see it because it is fast-paced, fun to watch, and there are some attractive lean-muscled, bike riding ladies in the movie. I wouldn’t advise anyone to watch it, but then again there are some entertaining parts that might keep you from tearing out your eyebrow hair.
