Interesting idea with a simple story.
While movies with car chase are somewhat common, Premium Rush is a good undertaking of the idea with bicycles chase scenes. David Koepp did for a change with bicycle messenger with just a simple story & plot.
The story was merely about a bicycle messenger Wilee who picks up an envelope which then attracts the attention of a dirty cop who wants it. As the story continues, the plot unfolds with flashbacks that reveal piece by piece of the whole story.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt did a good job in the latest Chris Nolan movies such as The Dark Knight Rises & Inception, in Premium Rush he too did a good job. There will be another movie he will be starring in too; Looper.
Alright, Simple story with fast-paced action.
The plot contains a few humourous lines which are good to lighten the story a little. Cool bicycle chase scenes & stunts can be seen throughout the film. Good utilisation of flashbacks to uncover the story of the movie.
The acting of the main actors Joseph Gordon-Levitt & Dania Ramirezwere really good although Michael Shannon's character as the cop could have been better in my opinion.
The visuals were really good. The cinematography of the movie & all.
All in all, the movie's overall story & idea was good, something new in my opinion. It was all good & worth a watch. (:
My Rating?
Plot : 3.5/5
Storyline : 3.5/5
Characters*:3.5/5
Effects** : 4/5
OVERALL : 7.25/10.

Wow! I will be watching Premium Rush on Saturday 2:00pm at Tropicana City Mall. I won two tickets from Sony Picture Premium Rush/Facebook Contest. They will announce the Grand Prize Winner of a Bicycle. I sincerely hope that I can win the Grand Prize with God's blessings.
Cheers!
Truly entertaining and adrenaline rush too :) I like the way they unfold the story - very interesting!
However, they are a few parts that I need to recap and understand. How the transaction ifo leaked out? Is it an insider job...hmmm.. need to watch again or ask someone to review and discuss...lol.
