Premium Rush (2012)
Director: David Koepp
Stars: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Shannon
Plot: Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Wilee, a New York city bike messenger. Wiley winds up with a valuable ticket and is chased by Bobby Monday (Shannon), who has a use for said ticket.
Mr. Matt's take: In the middle of Oscar season, it's good to see a fun film, and Premium Rush definitely fits that description. I really enjoyed this movie because of the bike chases, the cool visuals (several times, we see through Wiley's eyes what would happen if he chose a particular route), and in particular Michael Shannon's performance- I think he's the true star of the film, as he plays a comical yet not cartoonish villain.
Mr. Matt's rating: 0.75. Not groundbreaking, but an entertaining experience.
Rating system: -2: Awful, avoid at all costs
-1: Not good at all, not recommended
0: OK, has some good qualities
1: Definite recommendation, very good experience
2: Outstanding, highly recommended.
