Premium Rush (2012)
Director: David Koepp
Synopsis
It’s too early to say whether this cross-Manhattan chase flick is any good (the trailer doesn’t hold out much hope), but one thing’s for sure: it’ll draw in the city’s bicycle nerd fraternity. Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a New York cycle courier who’s handed a sensitive document to deliver; one that attracts a good deal of attention from a few unsavoury characters. Cue a manic chase across the Big Apple and a great excuse for the film to carry off a catalogue of cycling stunts.
