Premium Rush



Not a bad watch. If you are a cycling fan, you will like it even more :)

Pluses:
  • High pulsating movie, most of the times on the run, it never slows down
  • Joseph Gordon Levitt as the lead character of the flick did an awesome job, not much of acting skills required but more of cycling for sure :)
  • Micheal Shannon as the bad guy was convincing, his extreme urge and his frustration was clearly visible from the first scene
  • Dania Ramirez as the female lead also did her best job, again more on cycling
  • A small portion played by Sean Kennedy for another cyclist is worth a mention
  • The story tries to conceal its secret until sometime, where the pointer lies most of the time to something illegal when suddenly the climax changes the realization into a more dramatic angle, which is not all that bad

Minuses:
  • For a non cyclist, it gets a tad too boring watching a chase sequence throughout the entire length of the movie
  • Until the mystery is revelaed, it almost gives you a feeling as if the story is going no where and you are here just to watch some cycling moves and stints
 
 
My Rating: 2.5/5

Nothing new that we haven’t seen or heard before, but it still has some fun with itself, even if the writing really takes away from it. Nice review Arpita.
