Dodging speeding cars, crazed cabbies and eight million cranky pedestrians is all in a day's work for Wilee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), the best of New York's agile and aggressive bicycle messengers. It takes a special breed to ride the fixie - super lightweight, single-gear bikes with no brakes and riders who are equal part skilled cyclists and nutcases who risk becoming a smear on the pavement every time they head into traffic. But a guy who's used to putting his life on the line is about to get more than even he is used to when his last envelope of the day -- a routine "premium rush" run -- turns into a life or death chase through the streets of Manhattan. Also starring Michael Shannon, Dania Ramirez and Jamie Chung.
Under the direction of David Koepp (SECRET WINDOW, the screenplays for MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE and SPIDER-MAN), this is an expert and spellbinding adventure. I'm very weary of routine chase movies. There's nothing routine about PREMIUM RUSH. -- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
