Premium Rush (2012) David Koepp (reviewed by Jason Presents)


First of all the entire concept of this movie is nonsense. It all plays out like the 4th or 5th mission you would do in most GTA games with bikes. I didn't particularly like or dislike any of the characters and the whole thing is ridiculously over stylized. Now that I have that out of the way I can try and figure out why I kinda enjoyed this movie... it moves at a very fast pace so although I was never entirely engaged, I wasn't bored either. The two leads are great as they usually are in everything so they're a safe bet. Love triangle not necessary but whatever. I suppose you could call it enjoyable nonsense.

  3. More like Tony Scott with an iphone and google maps, but yeah 5 minutes? I couldn't do that with any movie ever, I'd have to stick it out so I could really praise or rip it to pieces! The only possible exception I could think of is if you accidentally stumbled upon a family members sex tape, but even then if you make it to the 5 minute mark your pretty sick, in the head!

  4. Also it's worth pointing out (and I think you'll agree with me on this Aindriu) that although I picked 5 as my score, I see this as a ceiling for the movie. I would never dispute a 2-4 score, yet I really don't feel this ever deserves a 6...
